Birthday Boy

Jesse's 41st Birthday!  Celebrating with his favorite Handel's milkshake and J Trani's earlier in the week.

Jesse's texting buddies.  These guys text each other more than teenage girls.  I wish I was a guy because they are hilarious.

Happy Birthday Bud!

Strikers

Some shots of Shane on the Strikers.

 Most of the boys go to school with Shane with is pretty unusual at this age

UCLA soccer

Took a little trip with Hailey's team to watch UCLA women's soccer.  Hung out in Westwood before the game.

school pics

I no longer purchase the school pictures, I just post them to the blog.  The kids just wear their everyday clothes, I'm not going to have them dress up and pretend to look like someone whom they aren't

 Jesse was in heaven listening to Christian talk about the operations with all the farm gear, trees and outdoor stuff
