Ava's Birthday

Jessie had the best time with one of her bestie's Mia celebrating Ava's 8th Birthday.  It was a Spa/Movie Night theme.  The girls made scrubs and lotions, played games, then ate ice cream on big cozy mattresses watching the movie under the stars.


Jessie's Butterfly

She had to capture this moment before freeing the beautiful creature that was stuck in a web.

Vacation Bible Study

Josette, Gigi and Jessie spent all week at VBS at the United Methodist Church.  They learned songs and danced, performed skits and made beautiful art.  They ended the week with a family potluck dinner.  They really enjoyed making new friends and learning different Bible stories. 






Knotts Berry Farm

100% Fun and Excitement!  Thanks to Michelle, Brooke and Morgan for spending a fun filled day at the park.  Let's go every year!





Loved the swirly cup slushies!



 Jessie HATED the log ride!

We kept going long after dinner until we closed the park at 10pm.

Meeting Bethany Hamilton

We drove to Encinitas and waited 5 hours in line to meet Bethany Hamilton.  The kids love her!  They fell in love with 'Soul Surfer' and admire her strength and determination.  I have to say I was impressed by how many people showed up... upwards toward 1000.  She was sweet and gracious and met each and every one.  She is such a beautiful girl and wonderful role model!
