Playing with Grandma

uncle mike buell drives FAST!!!

Uncle Mike Buell shares a race car with his best friend Bill. When they race in Stockton they invite everyone out. It is fun to watch him drive wicked fast through the cones. This year the mom's got the "stupid sillies" and decided to make a sign for him even though we didn't have any paper. Mike is a really good sport and smiled and waved to us.

Go Mike!

It turns out purple sharpie doesn't come out of belly buttons... as CJ found out...

6 flags discovery kingdom

During the summer break we went to 6 Flags Discovery Kingdom with the aunts, uncles, and cousins. It was worth every dollar! We were there for 10 hours until they closed and none of the kids wanted to go home, they were having so much fun!

Waiting in line for our 1st ride of the day "Cobra"

Ready to go!

CJ looks just like his dad!

All wet from a ride

CJ liked touching the sting ray. He was really good at being still and patient so the ray would come near him.

The kids loved the "Tony Hawk" ride... the mom, not so much. I got wicked dizzy.

I think Ashley is getting so pretty

CJ loves putting his hands in the air during a ride

Riding Horses at Aunt Louise's

Mike took the kids to his Aunt Louise's house so the kids could ride horses there just like he did when he was a kid. Ash & CJ had a great time.

Making caramel and sprinkle coated pretzel sticks, YUM!

It's a new school year

It's a new school year and holy-moly 6:30am seems so dang early!

Ashley had an orientation day last wednesday to check out her new school. Jefferson Middle School is an 5th-8th grade school in Tracy, Ca. Ash started the morning nervous but by the time it was over she could hardly wait for the school year to begin!

CJ is nervous about starting at a new school all by himself (Ash is at a school for older kids) but he said he would like it when he gets used to it. He is attending Monticello Elementary School in Tracy, Ca.

There is an hour between CJ's end of school and Ashley's so CJ tried to convince me that we should play at this park (right across the street from his school) every day till its time to pick up Ashley at her school...
