Kylee and Brian’s wedding

The happy, newly married couple Mr and Mrs Scholar

 

Adam, Katie and Lyla waiting for the service to begin

All the little Camp-side cousins

There was an awesome kids table at the reception that kept the kids entertained.  Hailey has no idea that i was taking her photo as she drew a picture.  Very intense little girl

 

The day couldn’t have been more perfect, on the cliffs in La Jolla on a warm summer evening

Cathy, Grandma Hobb, Twylla and Andrew

The older set of cousins

Congrates to Kylee and Brian, we had so much fun!

Summer Fun

We headed over to San Pedro to visit the newly opened USS Iowa with the Jennings and Cathy and Duane

The Jennings ready to set sail

It was a hot day and the kids needed to cool down afterwards

Hailey loving life

 

We had a nice beach day and took advantage of it.  I love this picture of Lyla, she looks like she is going on 16.  While Eli battles the waves

 

How old is she?

Hailey has learned to use earbuds to listen to music on the IPhone

Slip n Slidin’

We had perfect weather to roll out the slip n slide while the Jennings and Cathy and Duane were visiting

Adam took some awesome video of everyone going down the hill.  The lyla look

 

Hey Mom, look at me!  Cathy had her hair done but it didn’t stop her from joining the fun

     

Somebody always wants to do the zipline over the slip n slide,  Hailey going over Duane

Katie, Jesse and all the kiddos

Fun for all ages!  The kids didn’t want to stop

Camp Camp

I told the Wadas that I wanted to take their kids for 2 different weeks over the summer to help them but more importantly for my sanity. By doing this their kids wouldn't have to do camps all summer long, but better yet, they can entertain my kids. I think the boys were a little shocked when Hailey beat them all at bowling and then won the 500 ticket jackpot in the arcade. Maybe the Wada boys would rather go to camp after all! It's been so great having 2 extra kids around all day long, doing something different each day. Everyone is loving it.

Pony Camp

For Hailey’s birthday she got a coupon for a week at Pony Camp.  I wasn’t sure how she would like it since she knew no one.  I had to wake her up the first morning just to get her there.  When i picked her up she said, “I loved it, can i do it again?”  I told her she gets to go all week, she was so excited.   Not sure where we are going with this new found love! 

Here is what Hailey looks like when i show up to pick her up- pretends not to see me and doesn’t want to leave

Hailey was in such a good mood all week, nice to Shane, using good manners, ect.  I’m liking this.

50 cents!

A huge success! Nobody could drive by these kids without stopping!

Moms gone

for 8 hours and the whole neighborhood stopped by Saturday night! Jesse knows how to cater to the masses.

"I need to charge my iPhone"

One of my favorite Hailey sayings: "I need to charge my iPhone". She is dead serious about it, and says it with a little sass.

Grunion Hunting

What do you do when the kids have no school and can stay out as late as they want? Go grunion hunting of course. Here are a few shots of out sojourn to the wilds of South Hermosa Beach with the Belofsky's. Hailey was amped to go, but wanted to bring her pajamas so she could sleep on the way home. A special thanks to the Chart House who illuminated the entire beach until midnight.

4th of July

We attended the Annual Family Golf Tournament and won second place!  Shane was the MVP of the day.  He doesn’t look pretty hitting the ball but somehow it goes straight and far.  Watch out for cart #54!

 

Hailey looked good hitting the ball but the end results weren’t as pretty

Hailey was all about filling in the divots after we hit, she was on it!

   

Here is Shane driving over a canyon which he cleared, again!  Hailey and Shane kept trying to figure out crazy ways to ride on the golf cart

 

After our 9 holes of golf we hung out at the BBQ while the kids did their activities.  Shane was all about entering the egg toss, water balloon toss, minature golf course and 3 legged race which he and Jesse got 2nd place. 

 

Hailey wanted nothing to do with the competition stuff, she did the face painting and the slip n slide at least 75 times.

 

We headed to our friends house who have a few from Huntington Beach all the way to Torrance Beach.  Just a few pictures from their house, wasn’t in the picture mood

Hailey said that they were trying to look like Vampires?!
