Wii

Max and the two Joshua's

I thought this was a funny picture of three, four year old eyes addicted to the wii!!

Welcome 2010!!!

Happy New Year!!

A perfect site! We had a cul-da-sac lot and the kids loved riding there bikes

The polar bear plunge happens ever New Year in Caucus! Josephs in the red shorts-lol!!

Most people were in, then out within seconds. The real troopers swam all the way around the pier. We cheered them on!

The kids LOVED just being outside by the fire at night

Writing Max Bakker in the sand

It was really high tide the day before, so the sand was perfect for making sand castles!


This was the best and most relaxing vacation we have ever had! The days weren't all crazy filled with to many things and places to go. It was about the kids and wanting them to have the most fun. That would be going to the beach and simply riding bikes EVERYWHERE! We stayed at Morro Bay Dunes R.V. We called the night before and got in! I was excited! Being there reminded me of Mr. Verkaik. As I would sit in front of the trailer, I would think of how much fun my parents and the Verkaiks had going camping. Making sure that we enjoy every moment of camping and life so we can make great memories with family and with friends!

Santa!!!

Santa was a big hit this year....with Joey. As you can see Max is not to into it. He kept asking if it was the real Santa. Joey on the other hand didn't even notice Santa's beard coming off or that it was cousin, Dana. She kept saying"Santa we made you cookies" and when he asked what she wanted for Christmas it was "I want a Kai-lan doll". It was so cute to see her face light up, it was memories we'll have for a life time!

Like mother, like daughter!!

Christmas Pictures!

My cousin, Leslie Taylor took our Christmas pictures and I love them! She did a really good job! Shes just starting to do it on the side so if anyone wants them done or prices call her 331-1287. She very reasonable and she touches them up and gives you CD, all for one price.

Dirt-Bike

Boy, was it hard to capture Max's tire in the air. My camera has a delay so it had to be timed perfectly!! He wanted to make sure I had a picture of him somewhat in the air! Joseph made some dirt ramps for Max and the kids to jump. Max loves it. This is just one of the reasons why I love living in the country. And yes Joey is wearing her swimming tube!
