Fire Truck

On our way home from California, we stopped to eat
and in the parking lot were 2 huge fire trucks.
The kids were in heaven and the drivers
let the boys get up close. They loved it!

Jake & Layt love dancing on Fire Trucks every chance they get!

Scott loved the fire truck just as much as the boys.
When you look at Jake's hair, just remember we had been traveling
for many many hours in the car....he's got car seat bed head.

Poppa and Jake were noticing how much bigger the
fire truck tires are than Jake.

Train

Jake & Layton love trains!
Scott went with Nanette and the boys
for a ride on the train while we were

in California.

Rose Bowl

For the 4th of July, Scott and I went to the Rose Bowl with
Dana, Ryan, Darren, &
Maggie (teammate from Hawaii).
We had a great time...the fireworks were awesome!

There was great food before the show!

Darren & Maggie enjoying the night!

Scott & I with the Rose Bowl in the background.

This shows the atmosphere..lots of people and palm trees
with the hills of Cali in the background.

We Love the Beach!!!!!!!

This is where we spend almost everyday
when we visit Grandma Mary. We love going to
the Santa Monica beach. The boys had a blast in the
water and playing in the sand. Jake is 2, almost 3, and
Layton is 1, almost 2.

Here's a shot of the fam....kids don't really pose with a
smile for you at this age, but we do what we can.

Here is the big sand put that the kids loved!

Even though the water was cold, Jake just loved
being in the ocean with his dad "surfin' the waves."

Jake had a blast, while Scott did too, but Scott
got more of a work out than Jake!

Layton was the master at shoveling sand!

Here's Jake in his little wet suit....it was a little big.
As you can see Scott was having a great time!

Layton had to go hang out with Poppa and eat
his donut....right in Poppa's face...it was so cute!

Here is Jordan and Jake enjoying the beach!

Tami & Layton having a blast!

We always need to work in a little Bear
snuggle time...even if we are at the beach.

The snuggle time usually leads to nap time...even at the beach!

Jake loves playin' in the sand!
