Thanksgiving Weekend and our New Camera!!!

We got a new camera this last weekend! So now I can post more frequently. We spent Last week in Indio of all places, with Timmy's family, Aunt, Uncle, Cousins, Nieces, Nephews, etc... it was super fun. The Stephens (Timmy's Aunt and Uncle's Family) have a worldmark timeshare thing, and they got us three condo's out in Indio for Thanksgiving week. The place had 3 pools, tons of cool stuff for the kids to do, and a lazy river. That was Penny and Lukes Favorite. Then on Thanksgiving day, we drove from Indio to Oak Hills to have dinner with my sisters family. We had tons of fun there too. I love spending time with Becky and her family. Her kids are 10 and 7 though, and they don't "play" anymore. They are so mature, and it trips me out. Anyway, We didn't have the camera yet when we went to Becky's, so I don't have any pictures of that. How sad.

Here's Luke taking Penny for a ride in their jeep. Luke thinks it's HIS, so he refuses to let Penny drive. She's lucky she even gets to sit in it to take a ride.

Angels Game

Timmy took Penny to the Angels game the other night. Just the 2 of them. How cute is that? I got to stay home and cuddle with Luke.

Doing Chores

It's not too early to start teaching about chores, right?

Our First Family Camping Trip

Penny and Daddy (they hogged that paddle board most of the day!)


That's why Penny is so freaking tan!


They were watching the fire works, so patriotic


This picture is proof that we camped in a tent

Well, we just had our first family camping trip over the 4th of July. We camped at Lake Gregory at a little camp ground called "Camp Switzerland". It was AWESOME! So beautiful, clean, and quiet. We were invited to go with our friends the Orgills. All of our kids had a blast. We spent one entire day at Lake Gregory, playing in the warm lake, and taking the kids out on paddle boards.

Strawberry Fields

The kids and I went on a field trip to Tanaka Farms last week and got to pick our own strawberrys to take home. MMMM! We also got to eat as much as we wanted while we picked. So I ate a LOT, and it was yummy. We also got to sample the yummy onions, lettuce, carrots, and peas. That was the most vegitables i've ever eaten it one day, for sure!

Day at the Beach

Okay, I know it's been a while, so I better try and catch up. Here's some pictures from when we went to the beach about a MONTH ago! It was a really hot day, and we stayed and played for 5 hours. It was really fun.
