Cars 2

The boys were a little bummed about coming home from camping a day early. We told them not to worry that we had something fun planned for when we got home.

We couldn't be home on Saturday afternoon anyways because we were having an Open House (our buyers walked...long story...our house is still for sale...another post). So we took the boys to do "something fun" and it was to see Cars 2.

This was Jason's first time at the movie theater. Josh has been before to see Toy Story 3 and Tangled. They were pretty excited. Can you tell?


Josh watched with a huge smile on his face and eyes glued on the screen. Jason fell asleep halfway through. It was a 1:40pm movie, which is totally nap time.

The movie was a fun one. I wasn't to thrilled about one of the first lines being, "What a jerk!" Other than that and idiot said a few times it was pretty good and loaded with action, which my boys love.



Camping

We went camping this week at the Pinnacles and as always we had a lot of fun!
We love camping and were looking forward to getting away from everything. There is a pool at the campground, which was supposed to be our saving grace. That is why we still decided to still go even though we knew it was going to be a hot couple of days. It was so hot the electricity that runs to the filter in the pool went out which meant no pool. Last summer the pool was closed when we went too. Some of you may remember this pitiful pic of the boys from that camping trip...
 We were able to swim for a bit on our first day this trip, but it didn't last long. I didn't even take any pictures by the pool because I thought we would be there a lot. We actually ended up coming home a day earlier than planned. Along with being so hot during the day there was also no campfires allowed. Who camps with no campfires? So this was how we had to roast our smores...
...on the camping stove.

Despite the heat, no campfires, the caves on the hiking trails being closed because of bats and the mosquitoes that ate us alive we really did have a great time! You can't beat the awesome family time on a camping trip.
Our boys are really great bike riders, so we went on lots of bike rides and did a whole lot of exploring.





This is Josh telling us how big the mouse was that he just saw
 It was also nice just to relax whenever is cooled down a bit by our campfire camping stove and listen to boys try to tell jokes and hear all the sounds of the wildlife around us.






Until the next camping trip.... which will be somewhere with a lake so we don't have to worry about a closed pool!

Chillaxin'

After a busy month of May, we are really enjoying a more relaxed month of June. July and August will get real busy with two more weddings, getting ready for school and moving.



Yep.... moving.







We sold our house and are getting ready to start escrow. More to come on that later.... it is very bittersweet.




It is nice to have some down time and just chill. We haven't really had too much going on Mike's days off, which has made for lots of bike riding, bbqing, water gun wars and just doing whatever.




Blogging has kinda been slow. Really because I have nothing exciting to post and all my nap/after bedtime computer time is taken over by searching for houses online.




Speaking of computer time.... nap time is officially over.... I hear chatting coming from two cute little boys' room.




Until next time...
