My New Favorite Park

We had a fun morning adventure finding a new park to play at. In Santa Clarita there are 100's of parks, which makes it easy and fun to find a new one to discover. This one is beautiful and best of all... has a path around the edge so the boys could ride a complete loop on their scooters!

My attempt a getting a "good one" of all three

Date Night

Great Company (Joel). Free babysitting by Grammy. No traffic on the 405. Kettle Corn. 1 Galaxy Scarf. Kid's T-Shirts 25 % off. Hi-Fives by the guys sitting next to us. Row 7 Seats. Galaxy Goal in the first 9 minutes. And a chance to watch a living legend... David Beckham.

What a perfect date night!

Landon Donovan... of whom we named our Landon after.

Joel approved of this picture... he had given his jersey to a little kid. :)

AWANA

Landon excited to start Sparks!

With his friend Keira from last year... They are waiting for game time!

Parker's 1st time in Cubbies- he already learned his 1st verse... 1 John 4:10

Made a craft of "himself"... Jesus Loves Me!

Soccer Saturday

We had a day full of soccer yesterday! Landon had his 1st AYSO game and Joel played in the mens Alumni game for The Master's College. Landon will be quick to tell you that he scored 2 goals and his daddy only scored 1 !! Parker and Hayley did great just hanging out. We even were visited from long-time friend, Allie Hill (who is now a freshman at Master's). We checked out her dorm room and the boys had fun jumping on her bed! :)

I love this picture... The boys watching their daddys play

Hayley hanging out! She even napped at the field

They had a good group of guys turn out and Joel had a blast!

We went to Hume Lake over Labor Day for their annual Country Fair. It gets more and more fun the older the kiddos get. This year they even helped sell cinnamon rolls! We had a great time with Joels family and the cousins had a blast playing together. Ever since we have been home the boys continue to ask, "when are we going back to Hume?"

Hayley even helped sell!

Parker helped by eating!

YUMMY!

Too much excitement for Hayley.
Don't you wish you could fall asleep where ever you are when you're tired?!

Carnival Games

Whitney, Landon & Carly got their faces painted.

We had so much fun with this 50 motorcycle we borrowed from friends.

Yes, our cabin even has a jacuzzi. This is my kind of "roughing it"!
