Catching Up

Wow it has been a long time since I posted anything the day after my last post we went to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk! My favorite place to go! Mike bought the kids 2 boogie boards and there we out there for hours! My cousin Ally came to stay with us for a week her and Jordan are great friends the call and e-mail each other everyday and look forward to spending a week or 2 with each other every summer. We met up with Grandpa Brian, Shawn, Misty, Auntie Kelly and her 4 kids the day also for some fun on the boardwalk. We had 10 kids and 5 adults it was kinda crazy!

Jessica and Ally

The kids were so excited to see their friends Cody and Tyler that moved away a few years ago it's great to see the kids play like they never moved away.

Jessica and Tyler The boys building there usual fort out of lawn chairs!The big boys just hanging out!

Where is Jordan? she was there too I was just busy running her back and forth to cheer practice on the other side of town.

I have really slowed down with the picture taking lately. The boys went and stayed with their grandparents in Twain Harte for a week then Jessica went for a week also. We went to Santa Cruz a few more times actually we spent a lot of time in Santa Cruz this year one Saturday we took our kids and Jordan brought 2 friends her bff Amanda and a friend from church, Devin also we met Jacob's best friend Paul and his family there that day. It is so fun just to sit on the beach and watch the kids play in the waves. We went the next Monday with just our family and played on the beach and then went on some rides on boardwalk then went for a nice dinner on the wharf. Then the next weekend we went with the youth group from church and helped to drive some of the kids there. Yeah so we are all beached out now, till next summer!

Birthday dinner we went to dinner with my Dad and Shawn for my birthday (early) We went to a great restaurant in Half Moon Bay that I had been wanting to try! It was so good we all loved it! I can't wait to go back there! I can't remember what is called but it is right on the main highway and it has a green sign. We've been trying different restaurant's in half moon bay the last year. We went the Miramar very nice very fancy food and we went to the Distillery they give you very little food for a whole lot of money, yeah not so good.

Happy Anniversary to us! We had an awesome dinner at the Melting Pot a fondue restaurant, we had never been to one before except for dessert so we decided to try something new! Wow it is so much food, four courses. First cheese fondue with bread veggies and chips to dip. The cheese is sooo good. Then a great salad you get to pick from several different types. Then the meat yes they bring you plates of raw meat and you cook each pieces before you eat it! My favorite is the shrimp and lobster! They also bring you tons of dipping sauces and more veggies. and finally dessert! You get to choose from several different chocolate mixtures! It is a 2 1/2 to 3 hour meal and it is worth it everyone should try it! So the next weekend we went back with some friends from Michaels work and had tons of fun.
