Swimming Camp

Taylor was on the city swim team this year. It was her 1st time and she had a lot of fun. They practiced Monday-Wednesday and Fridays for an hour in the morning. They had their swim meets in Thursday evenings. Taylor did really good. She learned the Butterfly, Breast, Freestyle and Back Strokes. She really improved over the course of the season. I was so proud of her. She always got a ribbon. She was even selected to participate in the individual Championships. They only took the 3 fastest times for each age group. She was chosen for the Breast stroke. Although she didn't get a medal she swam her heart out. I was so involved in watching and cheering her on and Volunteering that I wasn't able to get any photos.

Here is a photo of all her ribbons. She seemed to get a lot of 4th place. But we are so proud of all of her ribbons. They are in order Blue is 1st then 2nd and 3rd down to the only purple being 6th.

She particiapted in the relay championships as well. Her team of 4 came in 1st and 3rd. They were amazing!

4th of July Fun

So all the year we have been in San Diego we have spent 4th of July with Shonna and her family. This year was no different. It was a pot luck of sorts and we decided to bring chicken-bobs. I discovered a new Teriyaki sauce and boy were they yummy with Pineapple and peppers.

The girls headed right for the pool.

Maddi and Diesel played in the little pool. I think they were worn out cause they both laid back to relax
After awhile The girls convinced their daddy to join them in the big pool. Diesel was able to join in on the fun too. He loved it!

The girls enjoyed showing off their skills by jumping in.
Taylor was doing a back flip

Rylee was more cautious. Feet First!

Diesel my little dare devil jumped off the top too.

It was good times with good friends.

4th of July isn't 4th of July with out Fireworks. So Jer and I left and headed back to our house to camp out and watch the show. We got their just in time. We parked in a shopping center and watched the show. The kids hung out in the back of the car.

America's Sweetheart, The All American Boy, and Miss Independent!

Red White and Blue all the way!!!

My Love and I

For some reason Diesel isn't a fan of Fireworks. Here he is hiding behind Rylee. At the end he was in my lap head covered with a blanket. He would peak every now and then but for the most part was covering up.

It was a wonderful 4th of July!

The Hazards of being a little Brother of Girls

Every night when I put Diesel to bed we have to lock and close his door. We lock it from the outside so that he wont get out of bed. After about an hour or two we unlock it and check on him. He has a toddler bed in his room as well as a futon. Lately he has been wanting to sleep on the Futon. Well, after peeking in on him this is what I found. He was fast asleep under the futon. I moved him up to the bed but not before I got this shot.

So I have discovered that being the baby bother in a house with 2 girls can very hazardous. If you don't believe me just check this out and you will be well aware of what is in store for my poor Diesel. Now we just gotta get Daddy to understand it's normal behavior and no inclination for what is in store for Diesel.

I think Taylor and Rylee had way too much fun during this!

Run Diesel Run!!!!

Help Me!!!!!! Save Me!!!!

Oh No they got me again!

Laughing the Night Away!

Tonight Jeremy and I headed out to see Dane Cook Live preforming Isolated Incident. My Grams and Gramps said they would keep the girls for us. They picked them up at about 2:30 then headed to the movies, dinner and back to the resort to swim and watch movies. My girlfriend Alison kept Diesel for us.

Jer and I headed down to Westgate at 5:30. We had planned in eating dinner at Margaritaville but there was a 2 hour wait. So we headed over to Moe's Southwest Grill. It was really good! Then we headed over to Hell's Half Acre for a few drinks before the show.

We got into the center and found our FLOOR SEATS!!! ( I bought them for Jeremy for his 28th Birthday ) We were so excited! We LOVE DANE COOK. He is so funny.

The show was supposed to start at 7:30 but we were waiting and waiting and waiting.

The Stage

Still waiting.

Finally they had 2 opening acts. They were funny too.

Then the man came out! Like I said we were on the floor so when he entered he ran right by us. He gave Jeremy a Hi-Five and even looked him in the eye and said What's up!

Here he is running in the 1st time. I was a little early taking the picture.

He was sooo funny!

We laughed all night. Everything he said was new material and that was awesome!

Here he is leaving I took it late and got the back of his head. He again gave Jer a High Five.

He came back out for an encore.

When he ran back in I was able to get a better shot and Jer again got a hi-Five. He says he is never washing his hand! lol...

So we waited for him to start then we had to wait to leave. Being on the floor it took a while.

It was so much fun and a much needed night out.

I was able to get all dressed up and even wore a dress I haven't worn before!

Flying off

This morning my grandparents meet us at my house then we headed over to the kids Swim Lessons and Taylor's Swim Team Practice. When the kids were done the showered and got dressed and we headed over to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. It was so yummy. Of course we had to shop around the country store a little big. Taylor got a new Webkinz and some candy and Rylee picked a candy toy IPod and a Candy binoculars set. Diesel of course picked some cars. My Mom also got Diesel some car decorations for his room.

After breakfast we headed over to the Mall. We didn't have too much time to kill but enough to get out and walk around. My mom was flying home and we had to have we at the airport but 1pm. We looked at the pet store in the mall. The doggies were all so cute!

We got my mom to the airport in time. We all were sad to see her go! But the kids and I are excited for our Annual Camarillo Summer visit.

Once we got back home my grandparents headed back to their resort for some rest. We all needed it. It has been a busy fun filled week. They will be back tomorrow to pick up the girls for the night so Jer and I can go see Dane Cook!

Science Museum

Today we headed to the Phoenix Science Museum. My Gramps bought us a year membership so we can go back anytime for the next year. We are very excited. The Science Museum is so cool. They have so much and for all different ages. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Jer had to work and wasn't bale to join us. So I am looking forward to going back with him.

They have the Lego exhibit going on right now. The kids all liked that

Even my mom had fun... She's a dork!

The nose sneezed in them. Can you see Taylor's hair from when she jumped back!

He built this all by himself.

After the museum we went to Uncle Sam's Pizza for lunch. It was so YUMMY! When we got home we just relaxed. Gramps went back to the resort and Grams hung out with us for a bit. when we dropped Grams off my Mom treated us to Jamba Juice and the kids ate left overs for dinner.
