Random Stuff!!

Pictures from Hot August Nights. The first is me in the van following Jason in the new 1966 CHEVELLE we bought!! Love it!! Bought it at auction, live on ESPN2!! Crazy! The second is a good shot of it in front of our house...

School is in!

Poolside, right at the end of summer

Soccer has started! Go Dark Wolves!!!

Coach Jason whipping them into shape!

Travis' team is the "Late Thunder" Why? We don't know why!

Samantha is trying out my new air brush!~ She didn't actually paint that!

Samantha and Travis went back to school on August 20. It has been going very well at their new school. Samantha is enjoying having PE everyday, and learning Spanish. She is also looking forward to choosing an instrument to play in the band.

Travis is going to Apple Blossom and already knows several boys from his soccer team. This is a very exciting year. We have always hoped to have them going to school in the Twin Hills district, and just making the move to "make it happen" is an great step. We hope to someday be living in the area closer to Jason's work and the new schools.

Samantha's 10. At the beach in the spring, playing in the sand with the boys.

Travis lost his two front teeth. One's coming in, and he looks so different without his baby teeth!
Gee, do you think I need to worry about those gorgeous green eyes? And she starts Jr. High this year...
Looking more and more like Daddy everyday!! 
I surprised Jason with an indoor skydiving "jump" for our anniversary. This place is in Union City, and he really had fun! Next time, I'll do it too! They say it's ages 3 and up!

So long summer!

This was the last day of school, Samantha with her friends. She'll miss them when she moves on to Twin Hills!
Family camp, Travis on the climbing wall.
Samantha made it to the top! This is one of her favorite thing.
Getting ready for archery! They went through a lot of instruction, and they all did great!

All right, I know that it has been awhile since I posted. Things have been crazy and this is the last thing on my mind. (Ok, literally this is never on my mind.) Today is the last Friday of summer and my associates and I have a delivery to make to Trader Joes in Fairfield. 

The kids have been patient while I worked on my murals! Which is wonderful because the deadline loomed and my stress elevated! Yesterday, we did manage to go shoe shopping for the munchkins after I finished working. What a weight of my shoulders!

Samantha and Travis started soccer practice last Monday. Sam is U-12's this year, and Travis is U-10's. The competition increases! Jason is of course coaching both teams, in addition to being Travis' den leader for Cub Scouts. (More on that later.) Plus, he's working so hard at the shop, taking on more responsibilities every day. 

Travis had two camps this summer for Cub Scouts. He also became a "Bear" at the end of the school year. We all attended Family Camp where there were a lot of activities to do! Twilight Camp was 5 evenings (5 hours each) at a local park. Full of activites and acheivements. We also got to see him do a skit with his den. So cute!
