Jenny's dance

Jenny was born to be a dancer. It is not uncommon for me to hear "Look, Mom!" at a store, park, sporting event, or neighbor's house and see Jenny in some unique pose.

Jenny can even find a way to dance to music that is, um, maybe not as melodic as we'd hope. Here she is dancing to Jake's 5th grade band concert.

The Mud Run

On Saturday, my friends Autumn, Cara, Lou Ann, and Shelley ran the Camp Pendleton mud run with me. We swam in the lake. We ran (well, walked) up "slippery hill." We jumped over walls. And we army crawled through mud to the finish line. It was pretty nasty, but it was Oh so fun!

Jake's 5th Grade Band Concert

Jacob's band concert was tonight. It was possibly the best concert I've ever seen. My eleven-year-old boy was sitting up straight, concentrating so hard, keeping time with his body, and bouncing to the rhythm of the music. It was a fantastic night!

Hailey Is 3 Months Old!

We call her "perma-shock." What a cutie!

Praying the Pledge of Allegiance

A couple of nights ago, we asked Jenny to say her prayer. She folder her arms, closed her eyes, and said, "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, for liberty and justice for all."

We were stunned. We had absolutely no idea that Jenny knew any of the Pledge of Allegiance, much less the whole thing! So, we asked Lizzy if she knew it, too. What do you know, she also knew the whole thing!

Their preschool teachers are doing a great job :).

Here is the video of Lizzy and Jenny saying the Pledge of Allegiance. So cute!

Jeff and me on a romantic vacation . . . with Hailey

Jeff and I took a fun weekend vacation to Pismo Beach! I had never been to Central California before, and Jeff loves the scenery there. So we took Hailey and went golfing!



Hailey loved being outdoors.




I got some snazzy new golf shoes. But I forgot how to golf!




Jeff and I saw TONS of dolphins.




And we were so excited to see our beautiful family when we got home!

With Donny, Marie, and Baby Hailey

My niece, Amy, stopped in at Walmart signing to say hello wit... on Twitpic

I had a great time introducing Aunt Marie and Uncle Donny to baby Hailey! It was great to see them for a few minutes and chat about life and everyone's families.
