Bryce's playdate

While Tyler was at his Cub Scout event. Bryce had a couple of friends over to play. Justy and Chase came over to make pizzas, play at the park, play in the backyard, play a couple of boardgames, play on the Wii. It was a fun time! The boys were so good and all got along well without their siblings around ;) All 3 boys are the youngest. Well Chase was the youngest until a month ago :) Now he is the middle child. They are GREAT kids and have wonderful families.

Justy's family is a family we met when we moved out to Elk Grove. Blake knew Glen, Justy's daddy, back in San Jose when they were both young ;) Renee, Justy's mommy, is just one of those people you instantly can connect with. She makes everyone feel so welcome and a part of her family. We are sooooo lucky to have met them, because they have contributed A LOT to our happiness and making Elk Grove home for us!! We love you KUMAS!!!

Eddie - Our Pet Crawdad

Here he is!! EDDIE (Yes the boys named him after Papi)!!! The newest member to Tyler and Bryce's fish tank. When Tyler asked if he could keep him, we thought this guy would definitely not survive. It has been 2 weeks now and he is still keeping the boys (including daddy) entertained. He is actually more fun to watch than the fish.

Tyler the Tiger Cub Scout

Today was one of Tyler's 1st main Cub Scout events for Pack 50. Daddy took the pictures at the event, since mommy stayed home with Bryce and his friends. At Camp Pollock each Den did a little something. Nice video daddy!!! Chopped off your own son ;)

Good thing Uncle Glen stopped by our home before Tyler left. He helped us amateurs with dressing our son. Tyler's neckerchief looks GREAT! THANKS UNCLE GLEN!!! Mom and dad were clueless.

Tyler's group was awarded the "quality" award. And they received their Bobcat badge. And some other thing, but I don't know what it is ;) All it means is that mommy has to sew them on.

Camping at Donner Lake

Last minute plans are the BEST. We had lots of fun camping with Nana and Papi. Next year we are going to try to get Uncle Kev, Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Kristeen, Uncle Max, Matthew and Missy out there too ;)
