Our Nectarine Tree

We have an nectarine tree in our back yard and it was very generous this year. The kids loved picking them. I took a couple of pictures that I really liked. Garett found a grasshopper...

Camping at Yosemite

This was a really fun camping trip, so prepare for lots of pictures!
Look at these adorable boys! Our campsite was beautiful... right on the river!

We did a little fishin'! Daddy made a bow and arrow for Garett.Fun around the fire...












Daddy... sacrificing his hand for the sake of popcorn...what a great Daddy!

This smile makes it worth it, though.
James liked his bed in the tent!


The Grunion Run...

In case you don't know, a grunion is a fish. At certain times each year (around full moon times) these little fish come up on the beach and lay their eggs. There are so many that you can literally grab them with your hands. It was fun to spot them with a flashlight and grab them.

James watched...


So did Liberty... She was NOT impressed!

She was scared of them.

Ever been to an Ostrich Farm??

This farm is in Tehachapi.
We heard about it from a business contact, so we decided to check it out.
The kids really enjoyed it.


What are you looking at????
You can feed them, too!

Here is Liberty, holding an egg...





Fun at the Aquarium
















Some random shots...

James love to make these faces...Here is Garett on his new quad. He loves it! Take a look at those pants.
They were his Daddy's when he was a little boy.
(I think they were a Halloween costume... they have a little matching vest, too.Who knew that the trampoline could be so fun? Liberty picked this carrot from our garden.

Thanks to my friend Kim, who inspired me to try this...
