Weston Jumps Off the Diving Board!

 

I was amazed!  Weston jumps off the diving board into 8 ft of water!  He doesn't even hesitate!  He is unbelievable!  I was so impressed.  He is only 4 years old.  I couldn't even do what he does.

See below - Casey diving off the diving board too.

 Everyone had a fun time in the swimming pool - even Allison!  She just laughed and enjoyed the water.  

Below, Casey was swimming under water and Benson would also go under water.  He held his breath and had a fun time too.  I was amazed at this also.

 Ashley, Audrey, Charity and I enjoyed the shade.  Ashley and Audrey did get in the water though.

 Weston (above) jumping off the diving board.

 Audrey with her toes in her mouth again!

 It was so cute to see the little boys on the side of the pool watching the divers - Casey above is diving in.  Below, he is doing a flip.....  Amazing stuff!  Jenna was also diving but unfortunately I didn't get any good shots of her.  (Below, Paisley joined the boys watching the divers.)

What a fun afternoon watching the divers and swimmers!  After Weston jumped off the diving board the first time, Casey swam over to him.  Weston said, "I don't need any help!"  And, he was right.  He could swim to the side and get out all by himself.  He went off that diving board over and over again.  Benson wanted to jump off too but he walked to the end of the diving board and then changed his mind.  I'm sure it won't be long until he follows his big, brave brother.

Scooters, Breakfast, and Animals

 It was so hot in Roseville and I had to have something to drink after we played at the park for a couple of hours.  We stopped at Sonic and got some delicious drinks on the way home. 

 Casey took Benson (above) and Weston (below) to the skate park to ride their scooters while Jenna was making Charity's birthday dinner.  The boys had a fun time and I was amazed at how good they were with their scooters.

 Sunday morning Jenna got up early and fixed me this awesome breakfast - omelet and fresh fruit.  It was absolutely delicious and I enjoyed every bite!  Thanks Jenna for treating me so special!

 Pretty Allison above....

 Spencer loves his animals.  He plays with them EVERY day.  He gets them out and lines them up.  It's so fun to watch him.  As you can see above and below that he shares really well and let Weston and Paisley join in the fun.

Aren't these two little girls so sweet?  I just love watching them.  Allison on the left and Audrey on the right!  I can hardly wait to see them again.  They are growing up so fast.

Time to Play and Time to Eat!

 This is unbelievable to see Spencer sleeping in the grocery cart at Winco.  He must have been so tired.  He looked so uncomfortable but that didn't keep him awake.  I just had to take a picture.  Paisley has such a cute smile too.

 Here's Audrey above with her toes going to her mouth again.  

And Princess Paisley below.  We had fun going to a yard sale and found this cute outfit with the wand, etc. for next to nothing!  She loves to play dress up.

 I love Weston's smile above.  He was playing with another great find from the yard sale.

 Spencer loves his cars - he plays with them daily and multiple times a day.

 Cute Allison in Audrey's bouncer!  She was so happy.

 There's always great food when I visit in California.  Jason is terrific on the BBQ.  The roasted corn on the cob was great and the tri-tip perfect!  It was a delicious meal.

Charity and I went out to lunch to celebrate her birthday.  This is the Buckhorn - one of our favorite places to eat in Sacramento.  This one just opened at the Galleria in Rocklin and we'll be able to go more often.  Happy Birthday to Charity!

Fun in the Sun in California!

Cute little Audrey - she is such a happy baby when she wakes up!

It was really hot - almost 100 degrees - so Jenna, Ashley and I took the kids to a park where they had water to play in.  The kids really had fun.  Paisley is above and Benson below.  They look so cute.

I was happy to get this good shot of Spencer above with his cute smile!

Here's Weston above - he was having a good time and looks so handsome in this picture.

Jenna, Ashley and I relaxed in the shade and had a great time talking and watching the babies.  Audrey above was putting her toes in her mouth.  (This reminds me of her dad doing the same thing when he was a baby.)

I just love taking pictures of these two babies together.  Both with fingers in their mouths!  They were having fun too.

What a great picture of Allison - she is just precious and I love that little twinkle in her eyes!

I have a new camera in case you can't tell the increase in quality from before.  

This mother/daughter picture of Jenna and Allison is great!

Spencer above was sneaking up on us from behind a tree.

Below, Benson stopped playing in the water long enough to come over and give Allison hugs.  She is well loved!

We had a wonderful time and I was so appreciative that Jenna drove over from Roseville (to Folsom) so we could all be together for the afternoon.  It was just the best to be in California and enjoy the sunshine!  I enjoy my visits there so much!

The Jumping Pit - Rancho Cordova, California

 The kids had a fun time jumping into the foam pit.  Spencer above.

 Cute Allison distracted me from the jumpers for a bit!  I just love her smile.

 Weston above and Benson below.

 Paisley below.....  I thought the pictures were all so cute with the colorful blocks.

Watch this and see Weston's amazing flip into the pit followed by a jump by Benson.  I started the video a little too soon but it's worth the wait to see them in action!  Don't miss it!

My birthday celebration for 2012

 Ashley surprised me by having a birthday dinner for me.  She made my favorite enchiladas and a delicious meal.

 She knows what I love and made a lovely and yummy cake!  It was sure good.  I really enjoyed it.

Blowing out the candles!  It was really fun to have a birthday cake this year!  The birthday gifts are on the way so I'm excited about that!  I have such a wonderful family.  I am truly blessed.

2012 Charity's Birthday

 My visit to California in August was to celebrate Charity's birthday.  

Jenna hosted the birthday party making a delicious Mexican dinner.

 We got this bouncer for Allison and it was so fun to watch her in it.

 Spencer waiting for birthday cake.

 Jenna made a delicious strawberry birthday cake with Charity's requested recipe.  It was great!

Happy birthday to Charity!  Another year has come and gone.  I was grateful to be there for the family celebration of her birthday.

A Snake Birthday Cake

Mo's daughter Katy made this birthday cake for her 3 year old son's birthday party.  I thought it was so cute that I had to take a picture of it with Mo holding it.  I was excited to be invited to the family birthday party also.  They played a game - pin the tongue on the snake.  That was cute too.
