Last month we took our first field trip and went up to Fairfield and went on a tour of the Jelly Belly Factory. It is a free tour and you learn the history of the Jelly Belly and some other facts. Plus, at each stop you get free Jelly Belly's. We had a great time, here are a few pictures from our outting.

We are alive

I have dropped off the blog scene for awhile. I spend way too much time on Facebook and upload everything there. But for those of you that don't have Facebook I will try and do better.

Here is a video and some pictures of the kids swimming and a video of the kids singing Jesus Loves Me

May

May was a busy month for us, Evan was sick the first part of the month with the flu followed by pneumonia. The weekend of May 15th my younger brother Kevin came down from Washington and took all of us into San Francisco and to the Giants game. The kids did amazingly well, it was very hot and we were sitting in the direct son. Then after the game we walked and walked in the city and the kids didn't complain at all. At the end of the game the lady in front of us commented to Jason how well behaved the kids were, better than most adults. We also celebrated Evan's 9th birthday that weekend. Evan had a jog a thon at school and many more things but I will do another post with those later. (I can't get my pictures to post in the order I want and every time I try to move them around it messes up even more) Evan in San Francisco

Evan was sick on his birthday

He ran 21 laps in 25 minutes that is just a little over 2 miles

Movie Night

On Fridays we try to watch a movie or play a game with the kids. This past friday night we watched Spiderman 3. This was us halfway through the movie.

Kids

I had a great Mother's Day. We started out by the kids letting us sleep in until 9. Hannah woke up around 7:45 but played in her room until almost 9:00. Evan is sick and has been running a fever so he woke up at 5:50, I gave him Tylenol and he wanted to lay on the couch and watch TV but was glad to let me go back to bed. Caden woke up around 8:45 and played in his crib until 9:00 when Hannah went in to wake him up. I guess she got bored. Jason and the younger 2 kids and I went to church, Evan stayed home with my sister who is also sick. Then after church we went and got Panera and brought it home to eat. Ed & Arielle came over to have lunch with us. Evan was feeling better this evening so we went to the park to feed the ducks. Jason has done all the dishes, made the dinner, cleaned up the kids and played Scrabble with me.

Jog A Thon

Evan had a jog a thon at school last Thursday. I tried to put the pictures of Evan up first but Blogger changed them all around and I can't get them right. The kids and I went out to watch and had a good time, we were very please with the 17 laps that Evan ran ( 2 miles and 1 extra lap). He was exhausted that night but really enjoyed it. Maybe next year I will have a babysitter and I can run it with him.
