Haven and her Cats

Haven is often a Kitty Cat. She pretends she is one and she loves the kitties that are apart of her life.

Meet them: Skittiley, Felix, Tom, Mother Cat and Haven.

Tasty Treat

The other night we went to Rite Aid for ice cream.

A picture is worth a thousand words!

Wild Water Adventures

This year we got season passes to Wild Water. I wasnt really sure how the kids would take to it. Justus can be a little cautious and Haven, tho not nearly as cautions, is not as sure of herself in the water. We usually go straight after swim lessons, so that gives Haven some extra encouragement. I thought it would be good for them also as we are planning a trip to Disneyland in the fall. I wanted to help Justus be more comfortable to go on rides and such. And I am so glad I did get the passes, cause they LOVE going! Justus is doing so good in his swimming and Haven is very comfortable and loves the water slides. We have only gone twice but I plan to keep going at least once a week. Here are some pictures from when we took a break and ate lunch.

Reading

Lately Ive really been enjoying Jane Austin. Ive recently read Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. Currently Im into Mansfield Park.

Anything to get my mind of Twilight ;)

More Legos

Justus is really into his Legos. My mom got him a huge garage set while she was here and Neil and Justus put it together. Justus LOVEs it!!

Summer Fun

Now that things are heating up, weve been doing some traditional summer things, like swimming, eating corn on the cob and bbq ing. Fun times!!

Absent

Oh, how I dislike being absent from my blog. I feel like Ive missed recording so much. Anyways the reason for my absence is as follows:

1) My mom is in town. She is leaving tomorrow after a 2 week visit. I love having her with us. Time is filled with shopping, Starbucks, yummy restaurants, long talks and this time around - reading. Yes, Kaleigh and I have introduced her to Twilight. But thats all Ill say about that ;)

2) this reason is perhaps the most consuming. We have had our house completely turned upside down. We had to move all our furniture out because we got all new flooring and then had the whole inside of our house painted. This meant we stayed with my mom at my sisters for about a week and a half. So having my two kids sleep in the room with me meant we were getting up at 5:30am which is about 2 hours sooner than normal. Nap times were sketchy and with all the extra busyness of life I have barely been able to keep up. Of course Neil and GG and Papa have helped tremendously.

But I am so thankful to have spent lots of time with my Mom and to have my house so fresh and so clean-clean! Pictures to come soon.
