Sailing and Knott's Berry Farm

The kids loved the race cars, Abigail's little hair flung up! Jake got to go on the Ice Road Truckers Ride and he liked the horn and the steering wheel. Abigail and Josh went on the Huff and Puff. Abby was trying so hard to figure it out. There were many more rides at Knott's that the kids got to go on. Jeremy and I even took turns on the Boomerang and Montezuma's Revenge--My favorite!

Saying goodbye to my best friend Beth whose leaving for Boston. Abigail and Josh weren't too happy about that.

This month we all went on a sailing trip in the San Diego Bay, we sailed under the Coronado Bay Bridge, past the Hotel Del and we say the Midway carrier and other exciting sites. We also took a family trip to Knott's Berry Farm. The kids all had so much fun. Abigail was able to go on a lot of rides which was new for her. Josh, a maverick to the roller coaster, didn't want to stop riding. Jeremy was trying to get Josh on some very fast roller coasters but he wasn't tall enough. Maybe next year!

Well here are some random pictures that we took during the month of September. Abigail really likes to dress up and look like a princess. My nephew Jake hangs out a lot with the kids and one day he and Joshua got to wear the same outfit. So cute!

Take Me Out To The Ballgame!

To celebrate my dad's birthday we all went to see the Padres play against the Giants. Josh and Abby had so much fun. Abigail loved to clap and cheer win the Padres hit the ball and she loved to boo when they missed! Joshua didn't like the noise so much but he loves watching the game. After the game they had an Elvis concert and Josh got to run the bases on the little ball field behind the main one. Here's a video we took of the ball game!

Jeremy and I celebrate our 5 Year Anniversary!

Jeremy and I have been married now for 5 years since June 28, 2003! To celebrate we went out on a date to see Indiana Jones the movie and had chineese food at Jeremy's favorite restaurant, Panda Country! We also went to Paradise Yogurt were I indulged in some yummy low carb frozen yogurt.

Fun at the Beach!

Our Homefellowship had a beach party last Thursday and the kids had so much fun! It was Abigail's second time at the beach but first time being a toddler. She was a little scared of the water, she wanted to be held while being in the water but then she wanted down to play in it. Joshua loved splashing Jeremy and I. He was running into the water and chasing waves.

Firestation Open House

We went to an open house at a Firestation today and the kids had so much fun, especially Joshua! He loved watching the helicopter fly in and land near by. There were many demonstations and lots of fire engines. They also had this big slide that Joshua and Jeremy went on.

It's a Boy!!!

My brother and his lovely wife had a baby on March 8th, 2008. His name is Jacob Tyler Smith. Healthy little guy. He's so adorable. Ryan was able to leave Iraq for the birth of his child for 18 days before returning.
