"Princess Protection" Movie

Silas wanted to make a movie, so we made a script and tapped into the local talent. Here's our amateur creation. (It's less than 4 minutes long)

Summer Days

Hot summer days are finally here! Thank goodness for our little pool. Both neighbors have built-in pools and we hear them splashing around. One neighbor invites us over occasionally. But it's nice to have our little pond for those hot days when invitations aren't extended!

Camping Trip

We went on a camping trip to Cache Creek Canyon Regional Park with a group of 7 families from Davis. We made some good friends and had a really nice time.

We roasted marshmellows for s'mores, but someone also brought cinnamon roll dough to cook on sticks (clever!).
Our family had fun casting lines, but no fish were tempted by our hooks.

The kids loved playing in the river, which was nice and chilly to counter the day's heat.

The adults swam across the river and jumped off a ledge. Someone else took even better pictures of that event, so hopefully I'll be able to post better picts once they share them.

Happy 12th Anniversary

It's hard to believe it's been 12 years since we were married! It has been such a wonderful 12 years, full of love and adventure. So to celebrate we went to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and rode as many rides as we could before we got too shaken and sick. Happy Anniversary!

Allergies

Chris has been suffering from severe allergies, so he saw an allergist today. Those big welts on his arm are from grass primarily and trees secondarily. He has some other minor allergies, but those were the worst. Now that they know, he can be properly treated and live happily ever after. I thank God for modern medicine!

Spring Tea

Silas's kindergarten class had their "Spring Tea". The kids greeted their guests, performed several songs, then served their guests cookies and tea (or lemonade). It was all very cute. Here is one of the songs they performed.

Sweetness

She looked so sweet napping with her teddy bear snug tight in her arms, I just had to share.
