Caden & Mom

Our little guy isn't so little anymore :(
5 years old and 2 years of Preschool done,
this year means off to Kindergarten.
He's having a great time at his new school.
He looks forward to recess ofcourse :)
These days Kindergarten means serious business.
Lots of school work and homework!!
We're all adjusting to waking up when it's still dark outside,
Mom is taking a bit longer to adjust ;)
Looking forward to seeing and hearing about all his knew knowledge that will come!

Fun at Gilroy Gardens





Just before Kindergarten started, we jumped in the car and headed to Gilroy Gardens.
The kids love this place. It's a kids amusement park with a water area too.
By far, the kids were super excited to get cool in the fun water mists and sprays.
We'll be headed back soon for sure!

Swim lessons

 Super tense
 Notice her hand ;)
Starfish float

Caden started swim lessons with Linda Brown
He loves being in the water but also loves to be dramatic!
This week was basically a review of what he learned last summer.
Next week, we up the expectations! 
Linda is fabulous. Hilarious and Caden loves her.
He loves mimicking her by saying "Get your butt on the step!"

Noshing on strawberries

 Handfuls of gravel = delight
 Dinner picnic style
 Our tired baby girl
 Us.
Sparklers!

We joined our friends for dinner and sparklers.
They live out in the country with a great view of fireworks all around Hollister.
Caden took quite awhile to get up the guts to hold a sparkler. Silly guy.
Fun night :)

Horse Parade







Flag Football

 Caden with his team, the Giants

 Charging full steam!
Running out of bounds ;)

Father's Day at the Beach






We went to Santa Cruz for a day at the beach with EVERYONE else in the surrounding area. 
We had a great time :) Both kids loved it. Just wish it was closer so we could go more often!
