5Th Grade Promotion

Well it is official.  I no longer have children in elementary school.(at least not for one year)  Jacob had a great year.  He was a 2nd graders when Judson and Brown opened so that class has been there the longest.  He is sad to say good by but looking forward to bigger and better.  All of his friends are moving on with him so that makes it fun.  I don't feel as nervous sending him off to Jr High as I did with Jeffrey.  But will see when the fist day comes. Jacob had a teacher this year who helped him do well like always he tested very high and got straight As.  But we have come to expect that from mister smarty pants.  Good job Jacob we love you.  We know you will go on to do amazing things with that brain of yours! 

The pool is now open

There is one thing Nate will be doing this summer for sure. This is a little hint. 

What do we do while waiting to get Jeffrey's hair cut?

We take lots of silly pictures.

Growing up

This is my baby who came into this world sick and only weighing 5 pounds.  He is now 6ft and going off to High School - happy and healthy and ready for this new adventure in life. I remember his first day of Jr High I dropped him off and came home crying. I told Tom we would give it one week and then we were going to home school him.  Jeffrey came home that day and said it was great!  Last week he was awarded the  Award for Educational Excellence.  We are proud of you Jeffrey!  We love you! I am glad you knew you could do it.  I still might come home crying on the first day of High School.

Our train trip to the Mission

Last year Jacob Did a report for school on the San Deigo Mission.  So this year we rode the train up to see the Misson and Old Town.  It made for a nice day.

Bob Hope Memorial

Next to the USS Midway is the Fish Market.  We have been going here to eat for years.  It is a family favorite.  Outside is a Memorial to Bob Hope. These are a few of the crazy pictures that they all took.

USS Midway

We took a tour of the USS Midway. It was a lot of fun and I really recommend everyone taking the time to do it. You get to go at your own pace. You have head phones that tell you all about what you are seeing and it makes you leave feeling so proud of the sailors who work aboard these ships. The boys had a great time.After spending time on the island and seeing how young most of the sailors look Jacob and Jeffrey could fit right in.  Although this is a Marine who would of guarded the Captains  quarters.Nate Had the direct line to the President.  He had so much fun running around and seeing everything.

Grandpa and Grandma were right there along side us being just as silly as the boys.
