Happy Father's Day!





I can finally do the blog thing all by myself without Jake's help! So, I wanted to tell him Happy Father's Day! He is such a good dad and does so much for our family. He had to be both parents when I broke my wrist and he was so good to us. We love you so much. Thank you for everything you do for us and being such a good dad and husband!

Graduation!!



Well, Teanna had her first pre-school graduation! Even though we will have two more, it was pretty exciting. Mom cried through the whole thing!! Her class had a program to show us what they learned throughout the year and it was so cute!! We are so proud of Teanna and everything she has learned this school year. She has grown so much and we love her lots!!

San Diego Day #3

I think day 3 was, by consensus, the best day we had. We drove up to the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido. For those of you ever considering a trip to San Diego, I highly recommend the Wild Animal Park - before the Zoo or Sea World. It was fun. You can take a safari ride, you get to see more animals, and I didn't feel like it was as crowded. And the drive through beautiful Escondido valley is amazing. I loved every part of it.

Here's some memories from that day:

Cole in a giant fake nest. It took us a while to convince him to come out.

Cheetah in repose. We got to get pretty close to these guys. They were awesome.

This lioness was kind enough to pose right next to the exhibit glass. You don't fully appreciate how large and how scary these animals are until you see one up close.

After we spent a couple more hours on the beach.

Cole's got all the poses and coy looks of a supermodel. I wonder if there's ever been a red-headed one.

Yup. Those guns are real. So's the farmer's tan. This was while we waited to grab a quick bite to eat at Jack-in-the-Box. Not recommended. Ever. Even if it's the last fast food joint on the planet. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Really. I didn't look near this dashing after we ate.
