Lake Mohave

Tracey and Chris invited us out to their place in Lake Mohave to boat for a few days.  We skipped out of school a little early and headed for the desert.

Heading back to the Marina.  The swell was large and the kids just loved sitting in front and catching air

 Tracey and Chris are a mellow, fun, and generous couple.

I spend a lot of time with Tracey, she is the real deal

Thank you Freeburys for inviting us.  We had a great time

Last Tourney for the Crushers

Last tournement for Hailey with the Crushers in San Diego.  It was a fun weekend of celebrating the past 2 years together and hanging out with some really cool families

 We kids swap all the time with this group and here is Jesse taking care of Max who just ate some really Hot Sauce

 Girls in the hotel, bonding one last time

 Coincidentally, Shane's basketball team was in a tournament a few miles away and he was able to watch them play a game.   Shane in black

 Hailey holding up the trophy, Winners Again!

 So happy that Hailey had such a great time on this team.  An excellent coach, fun parents and a winning team- it's hard to find all 3 of those!

 Shane was a trooper all weekend watching a lot of soccer and wishing he could play

 The 3 families that are leaving the Crushers meet up at Han's restaurant and he treated us to his Sushi restaurant.  A perfect ending to the Crushers story. 
Here we are waiting for Han, at his own restaurant 

Shane-O

I can't tell you how proud I have been of Shane the past 5 1/2 weeks.  He hasn't complained once about his injury and has handled it better than I ever would have.  Always in a good mood and the crazy thing is, he only eats 1 meal a day!

  The one thing that has changed in the past month, he is now in a group text and actually responds!  That is huge, he never would have done that before the injury.  Most parents try to keep their child from texting, we promote it with Shane.  Here he is at the Tofu House filling up for the day

5 1/2 weeks of healing, Shane has made huge progress.  Still hurts to dribble a basketball but no more sling!

Camps/Jennings visit

Cathy, Duane, Katie, Eli and Lyla came down for a visit and brought a few really hot days with them

 The girls thought their fort was awesome

 The tide was bringing in some weird scalloped shorelines that the kids enjoyed running along

 Poor Shane can't do a whole lot at the beach 

 Can you do this with a broken collarbone?  He has 7 more weeks of healing

 Video game time

Hailey wanted in on the colored hair look so Katie dyed her tips blue and a streak in the front

Cabrillo Aquarium

We went to visit Grandma Hobb in San Diego and meet up with everyone who was already down there

Dinner back at the Hobb's house and chickens

Shane is a chicken whisperer

 We got to see Adam who flew into San Diego

It was great to see and catch up with everyone again
