Marine World

Dan and I were able to take a family trip right before school started this year! We went to Marine World in Vallejo. The kids had a blast!! Paul invited his friend Hannah, at the time we didn't know that she didn't like roller coaster rides=) So it was great because they stayed with us and helped us out with the younger ones. The best ride I'd have to say was this water ride the entire family was able to go on. The sad part was they had these super soaker guns on the side of the ride. People were paying .25 cents and shooting them with water. So everyone was soaked in water. And of course right after that ride we went and watched the whale show. I'm glad I brought sweatshirts for everyone because it was cold watching the show. It was great to take a family trip and to be able and eat like crazy!! I just couldn't stop eating ice cream, funnel cake (yum) and just anything I could get my hands on!

Fun at the Beach!

Last month we went to the beach for the day. Here are some pics that I was able to take. Unfortunately, we didn't have a lot with the whole family. We did manage to have a great time!!

As children of God

"As children of God we are somebody. He will build us, mold us, and magnify us if we will but hold our heads up, our arms out, and walk with him. What a great blessing to be created in his image and know of our true potential in and through him! What a great blessing to know that in his strength we can do all things!"

Kailee's First Dance Recital

Congratulations!! Kailee! She had her first recital this year. It was so exciting watching her prepare for this performance. And of course she did a great job at dancing. My friend and I put our girls in dance a couple of months ago. Unfortunately she was unable to make it and all the girls missed her. The recital felt like we were watching a live showing of "So you think you could dance!" We had a great time. Thanks Nana and Papa for your support.=) We love you Kailee!

Happy Birthday Grandma Williams!! Two Weeks ago my family got together and threw a birthday party for my grandma. She has turned 78 this year. It was great to see my family pull together and celebrate this special day. I refer to my grandma as mom. She has raised me as a little girl and I will always be grateful to her for that. We recently found out that she suffers from dementia. She currently lives with my beautiful aunt Sandra who does most of the caring for her. Thank you Mom for all your wonderful memories! I love you!!

Swimming this hott summer

It here again!! This summer my two little ones Makai and Makenna learned how to swim. Our church held a silent auction for the youth to go camp. And I was able to sign up my youngest two a swimming class. They had so much fun! Makenna had fun doing her own thing in the small swimming pool. But Makai did great job he is now swimming on his own. All of us would go in the morning. Kailee and Kalob got a chance to swim and play with friends. It has been exciting to see the growth. A big thank you to Sister Shiner for sharing your gifts and talents.
