Mitch,Luke, Neil, and Owen on the first day of school (hmmm...over a month ago). M-sophomore in H.S. L-7th grade (middle school) N- 3rd grade O- 1st grade.
Owen even got into the boogie board act with his older bros. He's usually a scardey pants with most everything but this time he surprised us. We had to pull him out of the water when it was time to go.
A week before school started we decided to take a little trip to San Diego to hang out at the beach and boogie board. We had an awesome time! The kids weren't quite used to the cool evenings and begged for their sweatshirts.....nothing like living in bako where it's still 95 at 10:oo pm. We used to live in San Diego once upon a time and I think I caught the bug again. Sheesh!....the things we don't appreciate when we have them. I told Matt "I could so live here again!" What a beautiful place!! Anyway......we stopped off in Temecula (where we also used to live) on our way home and visited with some friends and drove around our old neighborhood. We have some great memories from there!
Mitch with a few of his buddies on his birthday.....okay so his birthday was almost a month ago (July 31) but hey...at least i'm posting! (jake, luke, mike, lyle, and mitch)
After two long years Mitch got his braces off yesterday. We took this picture before he left for the ortho. He's a happy guy now but he's not so much lovin' the retainer and his teeth feel slippery. (see next pic)
The big boys eating all the food we (almost didn't) smuggle in to the park. Logan Urmston, Jared, Michael, and Jake Graff, and Mitch.
Owen had a great time terrorizing anyone (mostly the adults) with the water cannon.
Here is a pic of my Cub Scouts after performing our magic show. They were adorable!! We made magic wands and decorated capes for the show. They each had to perform a magic trick with me as the (well okay) beautiful assistant. We invited their families and everyone had a great time. Neil is in the front row in red.
Mitch and Luke in their Sunday finest (we staged the prius in the background so everyone would know how "green" we are). One of Matt's friends asked him "what does your husband drive?". It is kind of a chick car.
