"Steve" and I took a little trip to Oceanside for him to compete in a triathlon with his brothers. We had a fun trip! This picture is taken from the porch of our bungalow we rented on the beach. It was pretty amazing! :)

JF had her 4 year old visit to the doctor today...which meant 4 shots!! I had her restrained on my lap while the nurse gave her the shots but JF is strong and got her arm away from me and tried to pull the shot out of her leg!! Oops!! Other than that, just a second of crying and she was over it!

Today was the first day of VBS at our church. All 3 kids are participating and I am a Crew Leader for one of the 4/5/6th grade crews. This is the logo on my shirt!

193/365

We found a black widow spider in our grapes today!!! It came home in the package from the store and lived in our refrigerator for a few days before being discovered...we even ate some of the grapes a day or so before discovering it!! GROSS!!

192/365

I completed my first triathlon as a team this morning with 2 good friends!! I did the bike leg. We came in 2nd place for the female team division! :) "Steve" competed solo and came in 3rd place in his age division...missing 2nd place by only 20 seconds and 1st place by 2 minutes!

191/365

The first fish caught during our camping trip!

190/365

We went on a short camping trip as a "test run" to see how the kiddos would handle it. The last time we went camping JF wasn't even walking. It went great...besides being SUPER HOT and getting hit by a monsoon storm. We will go again for longer once the weather cools off a bit!

The kids really enjoyed fishing and they were so anxious to do it. JF and GA don't even have hooks on their lines at this point, but they don't know it! :)

189/365

I took the kids today (along with some friends) to one of the local parks that has a water feature. It was a super hot day so the cool water felt good!

188/365

The Michael Jackson memorial service was televised today. I didn't sit down to watch it but did have it on while I did things around the house.

187/365

The "boys" and the massive amount of sushi they made.

186/365

I often go to Target on Sunday afternoon's all by myself with no children! It is a nice time to indulge in one of my addictions!! LOL!! :)

185/365

Happy Independence Day!!

184/365

Good thing I saw her before shutting the door to the dryer! Our cat, Beast.

183/365

GA had a rough morning with his developmental specialist and was super cranky. A little while after she left this is what I found. He crawled in his bed and went to sleep all by himself. Guess he was tired!!

182/365

This is the only picture I took today, so I guess it is my picture of the day!! LOL!! :) Playing at the mall playplace.

181/365

While Grandma was on vacation we took care of her dog, Lexi. Here is Lexi and our dog, Rella getting acquainted.

180/365

With monsoon season around here comes lots and lots of frogs. We caught this one out in the road.

179/365

My friend Stacey made these hats for my girls and they insisted on wearing them to church.

178/365

The world (or at least our bedroom) as seen through GA's eyes...when he steals the camera and hides on the side of our bed, and surprisingly knows how to work the camera!! He took 12 pictures!

177/365

Sister sleepover in JF's room! :) I am always happy when they get along! :)
