Father's Day

To celebrate Father's Day we all donned our halloween Incredible shirts and went to see the Incredibles 2. It was Clark's first movie and he did a great job! We really liked the movie. 

Then we grilled some steaks for dinner. 

We had a great day on Sunday, too. Dad's favorite breakfast, singing at church, home made eclairs, presents, and games. The kids made cards and filled out what they know about daddy. We love him so much! 

10 Year Anniversary Trip

This July is our 10 year anniversary. We wanted to go to Hawaii for our 10 years but with the baby coming in August we decided to save and go to San Francisco instead. It's one of my favorite places! My mother in law watched our kids, no easy feat I'm sure. 

We had the perfect trip. I didn't know how good it would be to getaway until we did. It did wonders for both of us. Here are a few of the things we did on our little vacation. 

We visited Muir Woods. There was hardly anyone there when we went and it was so peaceful and serene and beautiful. 

We saw Solo and loved it! 

We walked around the piers in the city. I love the sea lions! We tried lots of different food and ate a late lunch at Boudin bakery. That sourdough bread can't be beat. We drove across the bridge and found some beautiful view points. 

My favorite activity was the day we drove up to Bodega Bay. We went kayaking in a river off the ocean. It was the best time! Being outside is always my favorite. 

It really was the perfect trip! It was also good to come home and be with the kids again and to remember that family life really is the best life. We are so very blessed. It's been a wonderful 10 years.

Our May

Susie had a great time playing softball in the little city league. This year her team had to play machine pitch and I was a little nervous about that. The balls went so fast! But they all did really well. We love watching Susie play. The boys did much better this year watching her games. 

Braden and I finished up the preschool year. He has learned so much and I'm so proud of him! He is reading well and met most of the kindergarten state standards. He's so ready for school and so excited to start. Preschool graduation was such a fun day to celebrate all our hard work. I loved my class so much this year! 

We celebrated Susie's last day of first grade, too. Before we picked her up from school we decorated the inside of our car with streamers and balloons. We rolled into carpool pickup with our music on and cruised around in the "party bus." At home we got the little pool and water guns out. Olivia came down to spend the weekend with us so she was there partying too. 

Fun at Jensen park with Aunt Livy 

We celebrated Olivia's birthday! We had some fun surprises planned for her, including a visit from Mom! And cheesecake of course, her favorite. It was so fun with have them here for the weekend!
