First Day of School

Yep. It's that time again. I can't believe it.

Lane was so excited. Kindergarten! Wow. Ivy on the other hand has been dreading this day ever since June 3rd. At least she was able to pull off a darling smile for the camera. She'll be fine....

Poor Lane was trying so hard to keep his eyes open and smile.

So cute!

Scarlett's Birthday

I can't believe she's 2! Scarlett is so funny! I couldn't get her to smile for anything. Every picture is the same. We didn't do anything exciting--we just had a couple of friends over for cake that night. The kids were really excited about the blueberries and blackberries growing in the backyard so they picked some and put them on Scarlett's strawberry cake. It was cute. They had fun.

The sprinklers come on in the golf course around 8:00 so we threw the kids over the fence and let them run around for a while. They loved it! Party!!

Santa Cruz

We love the beach! Scarlett has the best faces...





The kids loved the boardwalk!






Ivy brought her long board thinking there was going to be a boardwalk for skateboarding. Well, the boardwalk in Santa Cruz = amusement park... not sidewalk by the sand. We spent the last morning long boarding anyway on the regular old sidewalk. I wish we had our camera because it was so dang cute! Ivy and Jude cruising down the street and through sidewalks of the closed amusement park. Jude had Scarlett riding with him (standing on the board in front of him) which was the cutest thing ever. It was a good trip.
