What we've been up too lately

Wow, time flies. It's been a while since I last posted. It seems like there isn't enough time in the day to take care of things. But here I am posting on what we have done lately.

Since my last post, my husband ended up going to an oral surgeon to have his wisdom tooth extracted. He was in so much pain before and after the surgery. About 4 weeks later, he's finally able to eat without any problems and pain free!

Since my brother in law Henry recieved the news that he is on chemo break (hopefully forever!) my sister Emma had a little family celebration for him at their house. It was a nice evening and we ended up even dancing at the end of the evening. My sister Jolene was the main entertainment with her famous song (which I won't embarrass you Jolene), but she had us cracking up.

We also participated in the relay for life in honor of Henry and other cancer warriors. It was a really hot day, but I am glad that we were able to make it. We walked a few laps and even my boys enjoyed it, especially Adam since he could run around everywhere! Erik ended up camping with with them, he said he enjoyed it.



here are a few pictures of other things we have enjoyed this summer.
We took the boys to the Aquariam of the Pacific.




We went to Santa Barbara for a day trip.
We decided to take the train. It was about 1 hr 45 minute trip each way. It was fun and different.













We also enjoyed Six Flags Majic Mountain.





A picnic at the park, but not without another train ride first!





Tomorrow evening we may be heading to Knott's Berry Farm.


Last but not least, we leave for a late summer vacation Monday!!!
Last year we went to Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City, and this year it's a road trip to San Felipe, Mexico.
We have rented a 5 bedroom beachfront house. My sister Emma, Henry, and their kids are coming with us. My parents will also be joining us. As least my mom is. My dad is a happy camper at home, however, he may change his mind at last minute!

Unfortunately, my brother and his daughter couldn't join us, and nither could Jolene and Geric.. Hopefully we will all be able to take a vacation sometime in the near future to some awesome resort and just make memories, memories, memories.

Then we need to start getting ready for Erik to go back to school, which I believe starts on the 8th of September. boo...

until next time!
