I Wanna Be Just Like My Dad

These are Tom's motorcycle boots and as soon as he takes them off at night one of the boys is in them. This particular night Gavin beat his big brother to it.

CHEEEEESE!

He learned the word cheese and how to pose for a photo shoot all in one week!

So there is another pair of shoes these guys like to put on. Tom has recently taken an interest in eating healthy and working out. He has lost 20 pounds. Congrats to him!!! Logan has noticed his dad's big muscles and is constantly flexing to show me how big HIS muscles are getting. So one night he put on Tom's shoes and grabbed the weight bar to show me his stuff.

We spent a great deal of our summer swimming at the pool. I thought I would snap a few photos to remember the moments. Lisa's place has a huge pool overlooking the whole valley and since there are few stay at home moms, we usually have the whole pool to ourselves.

I am having one of those gratitude days where you just sit back and realize how blessed you are. I was flipping through the CD changer today and heard Brazilian music, Hawaiian music, and realized all the CDs in the CD player were given to me by friends. My birthday was a day that reminded me that I have so many wonderful people in my life. I received calls, packages, and presents, from childhood friends, college friends, mission friends, California friends, and tons of family. My La Jolla friends took me out to dinner at a fabulous little Italian place on the 101. Thank you to everyone for being a part of my life and for thinking of me. God has placed amazing people in my life at the moments I have needed them. Love you guys!!!
