Since we've been back

This was our first week back in Cali. This is my mom, brother and younger sister.

Cody, being silly and wearing a cowboy hat he took from one of his friends. I had to snap a picture.

Oliver got a new cage. He actually likes it...most of the time.

My little sister Ariana spent our first weekend back with us because my mom drove to Utah for her 30th high school reunion. She and Oliver fell asleep on the couch after a long day of playing. Oliver is hard to see because he is so small but he is there.

Chad playing video games. Our brother-in-law Bobby has a a huge TV with a couple of video games systems (not sure which ones) so Chad has enjoyed having them in the house. We have never had any video games in our house since we've been married and I like it that way. But I don't mind him playing them once and a while.

That same weekend we also went to a Modesto Nuts games. Ariana's friend had a birthday party and invited the three of us to come. They had these huge bouncy slides there for the girls to play on.

Walk in the Park

We live right across the street from a nice park so we often take Oliver there on walks. He loves the park.

I swear we are not choking him! He wouldn't let go of the rope and we thought it was funny.

Swimming at Aunt Debbie's

My Aunt Debbie had a wonderful pool in her backyard and has been so nice as to let us use it whenever we want. We took Oliver and Ariana there the first weekend we were back. We had only been there about 5 minutes when we heard a splash and saw brown fur in the pool. Oliver had jumped in all by himself and was swimming back to the steps. He wasn't big enough to get over the steps so we had to get him out. He wouldn't get back in again because he was afraid.

We all took turns with Oliver in the chair.

The Lake- New Melones

It was Oliver's first boat ride and he loved it..ok he slept most of the time but he didn't seem to mind it.

We got out to the lake and were putting the plug in when we noticed that the belt on the alternator was loose. It took us a while to fix but we did. Thanks to all the engine-minded guys we had with us.

Chad wakeboarding:

So did Cody...in his speedo. Yeah.


Chad's cousing Sam kneeboarding:


Oliver sleeping:

Chad's friend Jordan Haueter doing something with the flag....He was bored...or tired.

Who was there:

Jordan and Cody's friend Cole.

Sam.

This is random...but I thought I would include what my day or lunchtime looks like at work...Lunchtime is the best time of the day. Ceasar salad and cheescake...what could be better??

Our temporary backyard is a Jungle!
