......................Summer is in full swing.

Even though our summer got off to a rainy start, it is turning out to be beautiful and sunny as always. (I knew I should have never doubted mother nature.) The kids and Janelle pretty much center their days around what body of water they want to play in, Lake Tahoe, Fallen Leaf, Angora Lake, pool etc. Addy has learned how to swim, see video below of her new "underwater front roll", she can float on her back and swim back and forth across the pool until the cows come home. Brycen loves the water and enjoys it even more when we drag along other soccer boys to play with. Tyler is still gracing us with his presence occasionally, he has been hanging out with his buddies alot and riding miles and miles on his new ride. Tyler also started his drivers-ed course, and is counting down the days until he can get his permit. We got in some disc golf the other day and are planning a float down the river and a trip to the waterslides and trampoline warehouse in Sacramento soon. Andy is still enjoying his job even though our summer traffic is a nightmare and is starting to play online fantasy poker, he got out today for his metal detecting and is enjoying having the kids around this summer. Of course now, that he is a safety trainer for the bus drivers, he is constantly on my A$$ to take a safe-driving course.........................Yah...........will NEVER happen. I'm sure I could make a few safer changes to make him happy though.
Our beloved dog of over 12 years is gone , she lived a long a wonderfully love-filled life. We love you KAYA!
I hope you are all enjoying your summer as much as we are.
Love,
Janelle and the Fam.

I figured that it would either be really, really good OR, really, really bad...........it was good!! Congrats on getting your license.

So much for a snails pace.

So, I don't know about you, but life around here seems to be snowballing for us. Faster....faster....faster. It seems the minute I turn around, one of our children is reaching yet another milestone in their lives. I try to relish the moment but so many times, it doesn't seem like we celebrate often enough some of lifes important memories or take note of some of the special messages we should be learning from our children. I am going to try to slow down a bit this month to focus a little more. (yes, it will be hard for me to slow down but I know it needs to be done.)
