Sun = fun
The neighbors met us there, Jaime and Kain are 3 months apart. (Jaime is older)
Kain clapped at every play!
Austin loved being at the game. He was asking all sorts of questions. He ate 2 hotdogs too. He was loving it! (Something about a ball game hotdog!)
Austin walked home and Kain and Jaime took a wagon ride. It's 5 minutes from our house. Games going on all week. I'm sure we will be back!
Austin and Kain playing before going to the next event.....
Me and Ryann. Saturday we went to Mark's 40th Birthday party celebration across the street. It was a lot of fun and nice to be right across the street!
The kids had a blast! Miko, Kain and Lily
Miko and Austin.

I don't want to miss a single thing you do....
Don't worry, we unplugged the battery
Pool Party
yes, that's Austin and yes.. he's swimming in the deep end. (with a life vest of coarse) looks like swim lessons are finally paying off.
Even Kain can't believe his brother is SWIMMING!!!!!
What an amazing experience.. Sunday night we went to see the band, "TRAIN" with our friends, Ryann and Mark. Ryann's uncle is the lead singer, Pat Monohan. It was fantastic. We had the best seats in the house and back stage passes. Here's a little bit of our experience.
Eric, Me, Ryann and Mark
Ryann and Jaimee (Ryann is Lily's mom) they live across the street from us.
Dinner beforehand @

We had such a fun night.. what an awesome experience!!!!!Sunday, July 11, 2010
Summer Break
We also went to the Greek Festival in town for lunch this afternoon. Great food, good Greek music, dancing, games and jump castles. Kain loved all the Greek food. He ate almost all of the Loukoumathes (deep fried puffs of dough covered in honey) Yum, he couldn't get enough!
KOOK-A-ROO
Although Kain did not go in the jump castles, Austin of coarse LOVED It!
On Saturday, Eric and I went to the CUBS-DODGERS GAME! CUBS WIN:7-3. We must be lucky because the CUBS have not been doing well this year.
Dodger's Stadium, LA
Best seats in the house---Bleacher's-front row. A home run-(made by the CUBS) was hit 4 rows above our head. It was HOT--87 degree day.
Friday--Funday
We had a playdate Friday afternoon with our neighbors across the street. Daniel and his sister Sophia have a sweet keyboard the boys LOVED...Hey, the Wood boys have talent!!!
Never a dull moment over here...... I'm pretty sure it's going to be a great Summer!

Just Arrived!
The car did not arrive until after Austin's school day, so yes, I did pick him up in the "old car". On the way home from school Austin kept asking me if I was sad to not drive this car anymore (the white one). I told him that I was excited to drive a new car. After thinking about it a while, he said he wasn't sad either. He wants to be in a new car too. He would say things like, This is the last time I will open the window and kick the seat. The best of all, " Mom, this car is so dirty, dad would be mad if he saw it" (Funny, Right) But the question kept coming up the entire drive home from school. "Are you going to miss this car, mom"?

Long weekend Fun!!!
Mindy and Mick grilled hot dogs for the kids and carne asada for the adults. It was soo good!
Kain and Kaitlin were so cute, they were drying off together!
Austin and Gavin loved the kiddie pool.
Gavin just celebrated his birthday and he got a jeep, just like Austin's car.
When we got home we did a few fireworks in the back. All the neighbors came out to join us. Even our neighbors across the street. Fireworks are illegal in Ca. because it is so dry here. No, the cops did not get called on us! We just had "popper" and noise makers. Oh wait, the back neighbors pulled out some shooting sparklers. The kids loved it! It was SO LOUD!
Sunday, July 4th we headed to our party on the beach. There were 16 couples and kids. I met most of them through play group with Kain. We all were to bring a dish that was pre-planned by the hostess. I want to share this menu, because it's like no other....Talk about a P A R T Y!!!!!!!
