Tiny Tykes Sports Camp

Kayden attended her first week long sports camp this summer and loved it! They played a variety of sports, from soccer to baseball, as well as track and field. The last day was a "water play" day with a camp wide BBQ. I was limited getting pictures of each days activities b/c while I would have loved to stay and watch, JRob found it difficult to understand why HE couldnt join in the fun. As you will see in one of the pictures posted, JRob joined his big sis during the awards ceremony as if he too spent 2 hours each morning, in the blazing hot sun, working on his various sports skills! I am more than enjoying see my kids grow up and enjoy a variety of activities.

Kayden and her buddy Grant from CCYL

One of the only times she actually stood up while waiting in line...Most of the time she sat down.Hmmmm, sounds a little like something her mama used to do when playing sports as a kid!

Pleased with her performance

Sweet Love

One of the greatest rewards as a parent is to see the loving relationship between your kids. Just a simple reminder that you must be doing something right!!

Discovery Science Center with Friends

A day of fun at the Discovery Science Center with our great friends Lauren, Madison and Logan! Thanks guys for a fun afternoon....

Daddy's Bday

We have had an unbeleiveably BUSY summer but we took time to celebrate our daddy's birthday with a day at the pool. It was SUPER hot here on that beautiful Sunday in July so we headed over early to get a swim in. Brought our lunch and enjoyed it by the pool as well. Then, we all took naps (or at least pretended too...) and then went back to the pool with the whole fam, and my mom brought over a nice spread of ribs and stuff! Hope you had the BEST birthday Daddy!!!!

Vanguards-San Diego Trip

As most of you know, Rick and I have no choice but to immerse our children into our crazy life as coaches. It is something I grew up around, getting dropped off at my dads football practices so my mom could work nights, football games EVERY Friday night or Saturday afternoons, team bbqs at our house with all the players....These are some of my most vivid memories growing up. So much so that I wanted to be the quarterback of the Chicago Bears when I "grew"up. Something my dad wasnt too thrilled about but allowed me to DREAM on...

Anyway, my first team road trip took place and what better time than to bring my little sidekick along with. Kaydes and I headed down a day later than the rest, but in plenty of time nonetheless, to have a fun and laughter filled weekend with the Vanguards. Between playing lots of games, there was time for fun...

The girls opened their rooms to our precious 4 yr old and even made a gigantic fort for her and the girls to play "house" in. So cute!

Water Play with Cousins - July 09

Its been super hot here in the OC so we decided to head to a little water play area in Tustin/Irivne. We met the cousins as well as Non and Gramps there. Thanks to Non and Gramps, they picked up lunch for everyone on the way there. All the kids had fun and the adults, well they stayed cool as well with a few "run throughs"....

Beach Day July 09

The Croy's havent frequented one of our favorite hot spots this summer season due to a busy schedule but the kids and I were happy when a nice Friday opened up and allowed us to venture down. We invited Grampy and Non to come along and it was a PERFECT day...with the exception that daddy couldnt be there with us!
