Summer Varsity Basketball 2009

Matt & several of his buddies that he has played basketball with for the past 3 or 4 years, played varsity basketball for 6 weekend tournaments. They traveled to Santa Maria, Arroyo Grande (twice), UC Santa Barbara, Westmont & Carpinteria. They are a very young varsity team & played against some guys that in Michael's words, "have been celebrating Fathers day for several years!" They did win some games. It kept Matt busy for awhile!

Maddie turns 3!

Maddie turns 3! June 12 was her big day. She LOVES the movie Cars, so we had a Cars cake with party hats & plates! She still plays with the hats (& it is almost 7 weeks later!)

She is also getting into Princesses. Here are just a few of the pictures from her special day!

Morro Bay High School Class of 2009!

Congratulations to Lindsay on graduation from Morro Bay High School on June 11, 2009! It was a beautiful summer evening for an outdoor grad ceremony. You never know here-it could be cold, foggy & windy, raining or just plain gorgeous! God blessed us with perfect weather. :)

Lindsay was absolutely beaming, as she should be. After a nice fairly quick ceremony, it was find her, snap a few pictures, & then she had to run to catch the bus to go to Disneyland for Grad night. She didn't even get to come back to the house to eat some cake, so we enjoyed it for her! Ok, I did save her some!

Way to go Lindsay! We are so proud of you.

Catching Up!

WOW! Where have the last 2 months gone?! Time has certainly flown around here. Here it is the end of July already. School starts next month!

Here are some things that have been happening: graduation, birthday's, father's day, basketball tourneys, broken bones, er visits, new jobs, parties, anniversaries, missing kitty, and that's just to name a few! :) let's see how many posts I can get put up on the blog today before nap time (for Maddie that is, not me!) is over. So here is the first one! haha

Fire Trucks!

Here is Maddie meeting Ivan Ulz, the author of "Fire Truck" - one of her favorite songs! It is a huge hit with the toddler set at Parent Participation. You should see those little faces light up when this song comes on. It is so cute to see them all doing the motions: driving the fire truck, putting on their hat, coat & boots, sliding down the poll, shooting the hose & eating!

Cows & Horses & Hay, Oh My!

Our parent participation class took a field trip today to see the cows & horses at Cal Poly. It was a pretty warm spring day, but we had lots of fun. Maddie petting a calf... fun with hay...
she had the horse eating out of her hand...

I chose not to think about what was transported in this wheelbarrow, besides this precious cargo...and yes, as soon as we got home she was in the tub!
Here is our China Doll!

Dare to Dream

Here is our little dreamer, from last year! Hope you enjoy a chuckle!
