Summer 2015 San Diego Trip!

 We finally made it to sea world!  We all had such a great time seeing the amazing animals up close.

 

 Oh the Ocean... I don't know what it is about the ocean, but we just love it there. We had so much fun boogie boarding, playing in the sand, and jumping the waves.  Watching my boys have a blast together in the waves is a memory I will never forget!

 Brennon spent hours digging this hole, it is as big as him!

 This is how you eat on the sand...

 We also went to the zoo!  Keaton is fascinated by animals, and he especially loves wolves!

 Keaton ended the day with this amazing chocolate Belgian waffle, if my memory serves me correct, I believe he finished the entire thing by himself.  He is so excited!!

2015 Scouting Activities

 The boys combine something they each loved to create their scout cake for the blue & gold banquet this year.  We have dinosaurs playing soccer! Devin is always to happy and willing to help the boys with these kinds of projects.  These are very lucky boys!

Brennon's 1st overnight campout.

 Pine wood derby...

 Brennon received his arrow of light this year, he worked very hard to receive this award!

My Boys Birthdays 2015!

Devin is the big 35 this year, I can't remember what we did to celebrate, but I'm sure we had a great time!

 Brennon is 11 this year and gets to go to scout camp for the 1st time, hence the cot & sleeping bag as birthday presents.

 Brennon's birthday dinner, he chose my homemade Manicotti instead of going out, this boy loves pasta!

 Keaton turned 9 this year, and he also got a cot.  The boys are hoping Mom can handle more than one night of camping at a time this year.

 The boys had a combine birthday party at the Washington Rec Center and we went swimming.  I unfortunately forgot my camera while trying to remember everything else.  They each got to invite 6 friends though and they had a fun time!

Christmas 2014!

 We started a tradition this year of going to the Live Nativity at Tuacahn.  It is a great way to remember what the Christmas season is truly about, and the boys had a great time!

 These boys really do love each other, even if they are being boys and wrestling most of the time.

 Our Christmas Eve dinner, this is one of our favorite dinners of the entire year.  Ham and as I like to call them party potatoes. And I can't forget to mention my amazing ham glaze!

 We kept Christmas pretty simple this year.  The boys were so appreciative for the gifts they got and we really enjoyed the simpleness that we experienced this holiday season.

 Oh yay, we got a dog this summer, Allure!  This is the 1st picture I have of her apparently.  She has been a great addition to the family, and is very loved.  She's not a fan of sitting still for pictures though.

Halloween 2014!

 The boys love carving pumpkins! They are finally old enough to do most of the work themselves, I love this stage.  I think they did a great job!

This year we had a darth vador and a soccer boy!

Jen's 33rd Birthday

 I had a great birthday this year celebrating with my boys!  We had a fabulous dinner at the Olive Garden and finished it off with the Arnold's traditional Dairy Queen cake. Yum!

Boys 1st Day of School 2014

Brennon is in 5th grade, this is his last year of elementary school.  So sad, where has all the time gone.  Brennon has Mrs. Mcmurray for 5th grade.  Keaton is in 3rd grade and has Mrs. Seese.  At least I still have Keaton in elementary school for a few more years!!
