Some new pics

Here are some picture of Noah I took a few weeks ago...





The family on the 4th

Santa Cruz

Last week we spent some time in Nor Cal visiting Bobby, Rachel and Caleb. Overall we had a great time. On the first day we went to blue ball park because Tim wanted Ryan to ride the big slide, well... the big slide was broken and we we not able to ride it. Tim, Rach, the kids and I spent a day in San Jose so the kids could get their pictures taken. Well, Caleb and Ryan didn't really seem in the mood to have their pics taken. It was quite and event. We kept tell the photographer that we were done but she kept taking pictures. After that we attempted taking 2 1 year old kids without naps to BJ's for lunch. Not our best idea.

On Saturday after noon Bobby was finally able to join us. Tim found a place where we could hang out at the lake. Well, I had they great idea to rent paddle boats. My even better Idea was to send all the guys out while Rachel and I stayed back with Noah. Well, you can see for yourself how this went...



Then Bobby, Rachel, and I went out while Tim stayed back with the kids





Sunday, Tim sat in with Bobby during worship and then off to downtown Santa Cruz and then to the Boardwalk. It was pretty windy but the kids were able to play in the grassy area. As for the boardwalk...not at all what I expected, oh well!




Then on Monday we all drove down to Monterey to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We had fun although we parked about 5 block up the hill from hell. (It was a bit of a workout). Then for dinner we went to Sly McFlys... I would recommend this restaurant to nobody! Everyones food was just a little under expectation and hospitality seemed lacking. When we got home Tim and Bobby went to play in the softball game (which they won) and then brought us home some really good Ice Cream (for the third time during the week!) Rachel and I were asleep when they got home but we were more then happy to wake up for ice cream!


Anyhow, all in all me had a good time. Nothing really turned out how we thought it would but we have a good time making the best of our situations.

Congrats!

I wanted to congratulate Bobby for finishing his first triathlon on Saturday in 1hr and 22 min. Good job Bobby you rock, keep up the good work. hopefully there will be many more to come!





I also want to give a shout out to my friend, Adam, who just swam the English channel on my birthday, July 16th. His time was 14hrs 23min (Crazy huh?) You are awesome and I was praying like crazy for you! Adam started his adventure in Scotland, rode 8oo miles to Dover, swam 25 miles across the English Channel, and is now finishing with a 200 mile ride to Paris. If you have a chance you should check out his blog, they have some beautiful pictures posted!

I spy!

For Christmas Candy made Ryan an I spy quilt. I brought it out the other day to lay Noah on and Ryan loved the quilt. He notice the balls, and Mickey, and the choo choo train (all things he is VERY into right now). Here is some video I took of him I spying!

Just because I love this picture:

Sea World

Yesterday we went to Sea World and then to eat at La Bellas. Yum!! Tim got off work a little early so off to Sea World to see the new bay of play. Ryan loves the rides and playing in the tot play area. We didn't stay long since we didn't get there until 5pm. I only have a few pics this time.

I love this picture of Ryan and I (maybe because I don't have many pictures of Ryan and I)


Say Cheese!



Noah sleeping in the stroller, I couldn't believe he stayed in there!
