Weekend trip to the coast

We had a great family trip to the Northern Coast, Eureka to be exact. Ty and Zachy absolutely loved the beach. They wrestled, threw sand at each other, tried to go in the water (it was absolutley freezing) and had sand everywhere. We were not prepared for the cold weather since it is August but the boys didn't care. Nathan had been to the coast before but this was mine and the boys first time. It's definitely not the last time we'll visit.

Gold Hills Junior Golf Camp

Tyler loved junior golf camp this year at Gold Hills. He was even more excited to play with his new set of Tiger Woods Nike irons and driver. He did so awesome. The program is from 4-8 yrs old but they let Tyler play anyway, especially since he's been playing since he was 16 mths old. He absolutely LOVES golf. He was such a trooper and loved being with all the kiddos. This is just the beginning!

Brotherly Love

Tyler and Zachary are not only brothers but best friends. They love to golf together, wrestle, throw water ballons, and dance! Tyler is such a great big brother and is always protecting Zachy (when he's not secretly trying to trip him). Zachy looks up to big brother and does whatever Ty does. Zachy is the only one year old that I know of that loves star wars, legos, and "hot wheels." Things that big brothers teach their little brothers.

It's Summer... oops I mean Spring.

It was 100 degrees yesterday in Redding so after running errans all day, we decided to make the most of it and play in the water outside in the backyard. The boys had so much FUN! Zachy loved the hose and would not put it down and Tyler was was trying to kill all the "bugs" with his Bubble Gun!

Pilot Bound

Tyler was so excited to get to sit in the cockpit of a Air Force C-5. He told Lt. Dan (the pilot of the plane) that he "didn't want to work at the hospital like daddy but I want to be a pilot. But not this plane. This plane is boring and not a rocket ship or a spaceship. I want to fly fast planes." Lt. Dan was such a trooper and told Tyler, "That's great plane to fly Tyler." Tyler just responded, "I know!" The things that a 3 year old says. They are so innocent yet they say what is exactly what is on their minds. If us adults could be so truthful sometimes. Lt. Dan was so good at giving Ty the tour of the plane and explaining how to fly and what buttons were what. He even let Ty pull on the throttle!

Tyler finding Easter Eggs

Daddy and Tyler

The boys loved the Easter Service at church but really loved the Easter Egg hunt. Tyler enjoyed the music while Zachy enjoyed eating cheerios. This year Tyler was really into finding Eggs. Zachy didn't get to partake in the Easter Egg hunt because he took his daily nap and slept for several hours. One of the most important day was celebrated today when we get to thank Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. We are so blessed!

The Birthday Girls

It's not everyday that you hear of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have the same birthdays so it's a tradition in our household to go out to dinner April 1st and celebrate our birthdays together. This year we went to Rivers Restaurant and had a lovely tradition. The tradition was started 4 years ago when we moved to Redding. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
