We Have a Hero Among Us!

Our Family ARMY Party!
This game was planned and carried out by Aubrey.
It was, pin the nose on the ARMY Guy!

This was our, Landmine Game. (the balloons were landmines and you had to retrieve a grenade: (pop-rocks attached a a round balloon, without touching a landmine)

Our last family picture with
all of us together for a while...
Saying goodbyes at the hotel , the night before dad shipped out. We had spent a nice day together as a family!





We thought the pictures above would be our last time to see our army guy but we had a pleasant surprise when he woke me the next morning telling us we could meet him at the M.E.P.S office and see him be sworn in.



After seeing him be sworn in, we followed him over to the airport to spend a few more minutes together.
We Love You Daddy!
We are so proud of him for choosing to serve our country! We know this was the right thing for our family to do at this time, and though there will be challenges ahead, we know we will continue to be led and blessed as we follow where the Lord wants us to go!

San Diego Sunny Fun!

Gotta love Balboa park!

The kids loved this dancing car.




There were so many beautiful flowers! The orange one is pretty too!:)
These street performers were so cool. they were painted to look like metal and acted like robots.
That has got to be one of my favorite park! Free fun to last a whole day + some!! We love to explore and there was lots to be had that day!

The Beach!
We had a family photo session one night on the beach with Jason's cousin but the pictures got erased!:( the kids had so much fun running away from the waves that night that we had to go back to the same spot and try it again. We did not leave as dry as we had the first time.
Last stop: Sea World!!

checking out the maps, ready to plan the day!Dad and K waiting for one of the shows to start. We were really impressed with all the shows and even saw a few of them twice. Kinda sad that one of the kid's favorites was the dog and cat show at Sea World!:)

Just waiting! I could just eat her up!:)

The kid's favorite thing about Sea world was the new Atlantis ride. It was the first and the last thing we did there. They rode it ten times or more and were happy it wasn't like waiting in a ride line at Disneyland.
Shamu Shpamu...what's all the hype about?
and waiting...


Yikes! Bad hair day!:/
