Pool party

This was one of our last get togethers of the summer (very sad), so we figured we better soak up some sun before our move. It was Ethan's first time in a pool. He just sucked on his floaty toy the whole time. Collin had a great time being thrown in the air by Dad.

Roaring Camp Railroad

Grandpa Paul and Grandma Barb came to visit again at the end of the summer. We all went on a train ride in the Redwoods. Collin was so excited when the train came. He was yelling "Here comes the train!". Everyone was laughing.

Rachel's 29th Birthday

The whole family went to The Cheesecake factory for my birthday. It was fun having everyone there. Johnny and I also got to go see the Harry Potter movie while Nana and Tina watched our kids. Johnny bought me an I -pod and a really nice card that made me cry. It was really nice. I felt very spoiled.Scary!! I really love my cheesecake

Collin had a great time, but he got a little scared when the waiters came out and sang to me.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

We took Collin to the Aquarium when he was 9 months old and he laughed and laughed at this room where the water comes crashing down on the windows. As you can see he loved it just as much this time.

Collin and Auntie "Na"

This is the toddler room at the Aquarium. Jack and Collin had so much fun here. They loved crawling on this waterbed.

Collin and Jack. They loved the fishpond also.

Collin

Collin is such a fun kid. He is talking so well. He has me laughing all day long. His standing and walking is really improving. He has had a great summer, but he is such a fun loving kid I know he will do great in Holland also.

Disneyland

Disneyland was so much fun! Collin loved every minute of it. Ethan was really good too. (he slept through most of it.) We got to go on lots of rides and never waited in any long lines. Collin loved all the rides he went on. Lots of pointing and laughing and talking . He is still talking about it. Every time we bought him a toy he would say "I love it, I love it" So, needless to say it was hard not to spoil him.

Fireworks

Collin and Johnny at the Santa Clara fireworks- Collin had such a great time. It was his first time seeing fireworks, he was very amazed. The whole next day he kept saying "fireworks so cool, so big in the sky".
