Game 2 PVHS Vs Chapparal HS

Brian got to be one of the Captains for this weeks game. That was so cool. Todays game didn't go so well for us though. We lost 38-0. It was a sad game. All of us parents couldn't believe the size of their players. They were all very big and fast! Brian did get to make a great catch though. Hopefully next weeks game will be better for them.

PVHS vs Mission Bay

Today was Brian's first JV game. It is so exciting to watch. Reminds me of high school and routing for my school team. This year he is a starting receiver. He keeps telling us this is his last year playing but we are crossing our fingers he will change his mind. He is such a great athlete. Paloma won 27-6.

From a Caterpillar to a Beautiful Butterfly

A couple weeks ago Alexys came home from Christina's with a green caterpillar in a jar. It ate and ate leaves for two weeks. She was so afraid it was going to turn into a butterfly while we were at the beach. I assured her it wouldn't. She had at least another week to go. One night before bed we checked the jar and there was a beautiful butterfly in the jar. So we took it outside and let it go. What an incredible experience for Alexys.

One Last Hurrah!

This past weekend we joined the Johnson's for one last trip to the beach. We rented two of these cottages on base for 3 days of "Fun in the Sun". What a great time we had. We bbq'd every night. Sat by the campfire, roasted marshmellows and made smores! Played cards. Relaxed on the beach. I even got to go boogie boarding. The girls had fun playing on the playground right by our cottage, building sand castles and boogie boarding themselves and just having some daddy daughter time. We had some amazing sun sets too. I love Summer! Fun, Fun, Fun! Can't wait to go back next year. Beach + Good Friends = Priceless Memories

She is into EVERYTHING!

The other day I was talking to my mom on the phone and I could hear Samantha in my room. When I went into check on her she had gotten up on my nightstand and had diaper rash powder everywhere!

My 38th Birthday

It was a fabulous day! I pretty much relaxed all day at home and then the 6 of us went to Wahoo's for dinner. I had been wanting to try their fish taco's for a while now. They were quite good. After dinner my husband and friend Christina surprised me with cake and ice cream and a few of our close friends. It was so nice.

New Flooring

This summer we decided to get rid of all our carpet and tile the rest of our house. A couple summers ago we did laminate flooring in the kids rooms and in our kitchen. Our good friend John was so nice to come and help us out since he has done some tile work in his house already. We have tiled the laundry room, kids bathroom, hallway, front room and family room so far. We only have our bedroom and bathroom left to do. I must say it has been quite the experience. This is a tough job but it looks so nice. All the boys have done an amazing job. I am the official grouter and baseboard girl. I get to paint and caulk the baseboards. It is a messy job but someones got to do it. Grouting is not so much fun! The dogs are not so sure about this whole process they have been freaking out. We have been working on it for about 4 weeks now. Hopefully it will all be done by the 2nd week of September. Hopefully!

Jeff and Brian started the center of the hallway this weekend. We wanted to make it stand out a bit from the rest of the house.
