Why is he so cute?!

This is the smile I see most often on Caleb's face. This cocky, flirty, mischievous grin... he is his daddy.

Havin' Fun!

What fun the past 10 days have been!! With the exception of some weird, short term sickness that attacked Caleb, we have been staying busy with birthday parties, swim school and playdates. Below are some pics of our summer fun!

Happy Birthday, Kristin! We had a wonderful dinner at Uricchio's for our dear friend's birthday on Monday July 6th. Dinner was great, the conversation was hilarious, and the company was unbeatable! Love you girls!

Also celebrating a birthday on the 6th was our friend Gabe Woodward. For his 30th, his amazing wife, Staci, had Luigi's (a "famous" local Italian restaurant) cater an 'adults only' party at the Romanini's gorgeous house. It was so fun to spend the night out with my husband and celebrate!

Taken at Gabe's party~ me and my handsome husband!

Thanks for the great party, Stac. Everything looked beautiful!

This is our first day of swim school. Matthew did great swimming with Miss Macie, his teacher.



By the end of the first day he was almost swimming the width of the pool. He is so excited!

Kick those legs!! This is Luke working hard ;)

Luke is swimming the whole LENGTH of the pool... 3 times. What a big boy!

Caleb watching his big brothers swim... and looking cute =)

This past Tuesday we had the "C" kids over for a playday. Here they are getting ready to paint.

So much fun!

Matty and Baylee and their masterpiece. Notice the backwords "M" that Matthew painted, and Baylee was making "fire". =)

Luke & Jaden proudly showing off their artistic abilities. The green smiley face above Jaden is (as he said)"a picture of me loving Luke", and Luke was very into painting carrots.

And after they were finished painting, everyone took a dip in the pool. We had so much fun with Jaden & Baylee! Thanks for coming over to play! =)

Love to you all, hope you're week has been great also!

4th of July

This 4th of July we spent with a big group of friends and had a blast! Playing in the water, eating Nate's amazing Tri-tip and dodging random fireworks filled up a great evening. Caleb held his first sparkler, but only for a few seconds ~he was quite displeased with all the smoke in his eyes. All three of the boys loved spending the day with their friends! Hope everyone had a great Independence Day!!

When it's 107° outside...

If there is one part of living in Bakersfield I am not fond of it's the summer heat. To beat it, we have been frequenting the Raquet Club's pools and our friends, the Woodwards, who have a big new water park at their house. The boys have been loving all the "water time" and hanging out with friends. Luke and Matt have been taking swim lessons and Luke is swimming great! Matty is a little more timid in the pool, but is becoming much more comfortable swimming underwater. Here are some recent pics trying to escape the heat.
