Some fun at the lake...





































This afternoon we decided to go hang out at the lake. We didn't take the boat, just went to cool down and let the boys catch crawdads, lizards and to swim. We had a fun afternoon together!

The Fireworks show at the Ranch!

Jacob having fun throwing rocks rather than fishing...

Ryan is such a good caster!
Tyler in the barn for the 4th of July party
Ryan shooting the targets, he did really well!


Yep! that's me!! I shot 4 targets out of 6 that time! Jacob getting ready to shoot grandpa's 22
I think Jacob liked wearing the ear plugs rather than shooting!

Tyler was a very good shot!
Jacob's b-day party

This past week was very busy! Jacob had a birthday and turned 7! I can't believe my baby is 7! He had a fun birthday party with lots of friends at a new park in town. They played with water balloons, played on the splash pad, in the park, had ice cream cone cakes and otter pops! He had alot of fun with all his friends. Jeff's oldest son came out to visit for a few days and we had a lot of fun swimming and hanging out with him. Then, Friday we headed up to the ranch. We had a lot of fun hanging out with family, shooting on the range there and of course fishing!! On the 4th there was a HUGE bar-b-que and then a fireworks show! (The kind the city puts on!!) Jeff's brother and nephew hooked it all up in the cow fields and we sat in the barn and had a front row seat to an awesome show! We always have so much fun at the Warner Ranch!

Belize, Central America

Jeff and I went on a cruise for 7 days to the Western Caribbean. By ourselves, no kids! The boys got to spend 13 days at "camp grandma" and had lots of fun!
We flew to Tampa, Florida and had about half a day to hang out there before we headed for the ship. Then, after the cruise, we had 2 days in Florida before heading back to California where we stayed another 4 days before coming home! We were gone for 2 1/2 weeks, a long time to be away from home, but had fun every second!!
Our stops on the ship were Grand Cayman Islands, Belize, Central America and Isla Roatan, Honduras. It was beautiful everywhere we went!! But, our favorite was Honduras! It was so beautiful and the people were so nice! We snorkeled in all three stops, we also kayaked, ate and shopped!!! We had so much fun on our much needed vacation!!
It is so hard to choose pictures to put on here! We took over 700 pictures over the 2 1/2 weeks we were gone! But, here are a few with some spectacular sites we saw as well as a few of us! We also took just under 100 underwater pictures so I will post those when I get them put on the computer! You can also see more pics on my facebook page!
I also want to shout out a big "thank you" to Amy Pratt at ytb travel for all her help planning this trip! Thanks Amy for being a great travel agent and friend!!

We had a fun Memorial Day! Some good friends of our had a Bar-b-que. We hung out at their house, had yummy food, the kids jumped on the tramp, caught horny toads and lizards behind their house and played on the Rhino! Erin even drove the Rhino - A new wish list toy!!! We had a fun time with the Sandberg's, Fuchs and Richins. Thanks to Ang and Kyle for hosting!!

Renaissance Fair






On Saturday we went out to the fair grounds for the Renaissance Fair. Ryan spent the day boating with a friend but Tyler, Jake, Jeff and I went to the fair. We hung around a bit and the boys had fun with the archery, rope making and the jousting show. They even got some souvenirs!

Kindergarten Program












Jacob had his Kindergarten Program today! It was very cute. They each could dress up as what they want to be when they grow up, if they wanted to. Jacob decided he wanted to be an athlete. So, he borrowed Tyler's football jersey and had to get the black under his eyes cause he said that's the way the Charger's do it! Can you tell my favorite NFL team?? haha So, now that was my last child to go through Kindergarten. It's a bittersweet feeling! But, I am so proud of Jacob!
