Summer!

As I write this, Lincoln will be starting school in two weeks. I cannot believe summer is almost over! Its been a few weeks since I've blogged and we've actually done a lot of fun stuff. Unfortunately, I didn't even take pictures of everything. But here's a sample of what we've done in July...

We went to a cabin in Truckee from July 9-11. It was fun! What a blessing to get to go to the moutains and admire God's beautiful creation. (An even bigger blessing...we got to stay in a gorgeous cabin instead of a tent.) :)

On July 14th I took the kids to meet their sweet new baby cousin, Joshua Phelps. What a cutie! They all three loved holding him and loving him. They also enjoyed playing with their cousins. They get along so well!

The week of July 19th the kids, my mom (Manamana) and I went to Irvine to visit my Aunt Linda and cousin Miles. We spent the week there enjoying the ocean and the awesome cool weather! Jackets in July are awesome.

At the end of the trip we stopped at my Aunt Brenda's for a short visit. Here's a pic of all of us, Meghan, Jackie, Brenda, me, Lola, Mom, Jackson and Lincoln.

We've also had gymnastics for the kids, tons of swimming, a visit from friends who live in Simi Valley, and lots of lazy days at home enjoying not having to go anywhere. Summer is awesome and its almost over! Thank you Lord for a beautiful (not too hot) summer where we got to enjoy eachother everyday.
