Cub Scout campfire

Today I was driving home from work when I heard a popping sound in the back seat and I couldn't believe it was Jessica blowing bubbles with her gum! It was so cute! Se finally figured out how to blow a bubble. I remember her asking me how a couple weeks a go and I showed her the best I could. Here is picture of her bubble! I think she is trying really hard because her eyes are closed. LOL!

After 4 long years of waiting Justin is finally old enough to join the cub scouts. He has been waiting ever since Jacob was a tiger cub! June was his first month of den meetings and Tuesday he had his first pack meeting! We had a fun campfire at Garin Park.

Here is Justin and a few boys from his den doing the "wee" skit.

Today the boys were able to come to work with me! Jessica was really excited to show off her big brothers to all her friends. They were great helpers and the children in my class loved playing with "big kids." Jacob and Justin each took a turn reading to the class during circle time.

Surprise

My wonderful husband surprised me with a night out on the town! We went to San Francisco and drove around town then went to pier 39 and fisherman wharf and had some yummy clam chowder in a bread bowl and shrimp and crab cocktail. What a nice surprise! The weather was amazing too! Some nice even at night!

Saturday

Family Day!

Today went to the County Fair! We even got there before it opened!

Jessica's favorite part was all the great animals! She's willing to try anything even pet a big pig! Jordan's favorite part was the cute new cowboy hat she got! Justin's favorite part was riding the bull!

They were able to see a few things that they have never seen before a real horse race, and a roller derby what ever they call it?

Jessie had the best seat in the house! Daddy's shoulder's!

In the Garden

I went out to water the garden today and found a wonderful zuchini! I decided we should make zuchini bread with it Jessica and Jacob where excited to help! Jacob shredded the entire zuchini and we haad enough to make two loaves, so we doubled the recipe! Jacob didn't think the bread would taste very good made out of zuchini but I told him lets just make it and see if you like. I remember thinking the same exact thing when I was his age. We to had a garden and my mom made zuchini bread from the zuchinis from our garden and it was our favorite bread we just loved it! So funny how history repeats it's self. Well it ends up Jacob also loved the bread!

Panda Day

Friday while Jordan was at the concert we had a Panda Bear Day! We decided to beat the heat by going to the movies to see the new movie Kung Fu Panda! It was a cute movie for the kids with a good message in it. Then we met Judy and the girls at Panda Express for dinner. Then we went home and did a panda bear craft project and the boys researched pandas on the internet and each wrote a essay on interesting facts about panda bears. We decided it would be a good idea to go to the zoo the next day and see the panda bears for real! Then we could stop by Build a Bear and they could each build a panda bear to remember our great day. LOL yeah right you think we live in a perfect world of unlimited time and money! We stop at the dinner part I had you going there for a minute though! :)

ok but really I would do all those things if I could! Here are some more things to do:

make panda cupcakes!

go to the library and check out panda bear books! This book Panda Cake is one of my favorite books that my Dad used to read to me when I was little!

What a day!

It is amazing how much you can do in one day! We started at 7am getting Jacob ready for his Boy Scout Hike at Point Reyes Made bows to match Jessie's cute new Gymboree shirt from her BFF Trinity! And more bows for Trinity and Julia.
Went to lunch with friends! We love sushi!

Beat the heat by hanging out at our favorite mall Valley Fair! Yes we took 5 kids and Jordan to the mall all day. Are we crazy? We are now! LOL Found some monsters for sale! oh I mean monster sales! LOL This sign was too funny. I had to take a few pictures of our monsters in front of it!Gotta wear shades!

$1.99 shades at The Children's PlaceJessica making brownies!
Of course we did all the boring stuff too 2 loads of laundry, dishes etc.

Lucky girl!

Jordan and a group of friends got to go to the Brad Paisley, Chuck Wicks, Jewel, and Julianne Hough Concert last night! Her Auntie Kelly was there too and bought her this cute Chuck Wicks shirt!
