Who is This Child?

I'll give you one guess!

Lake Tahoe with the Gouveia's

We had a very relaxing visit to the Gouveia cabin this past weekend. Saturday was scattered showers, so we used that as an excuse to do very little, but hang out, play games and laugh, as evidenced by the pictures below. The pics below are the aftermath of Michael mimicking Katherine and telling the boys what they needed to be doing...but in his version of Katherine's voice (much closer to Mr. Bill). The boys thought this was hysterical as you can see...we thought Eli and Michael might crack a rib!

On Sunday, we decided to leisurely take a short hike to Fallen Leaf lake where the kids could climb about and throw rocks into the water. They had a fun time and even got a ride on Dadda's or Uncle Joe's shoulders. Kath and I had to walk back....whatever!

Homeward Bound

Go Mustang Soccer

GO MAKOS!!

Liam has joined the Mustang soccer league; his team is called the Makos (a powerful mackerel shark). Not sure why we have such a creative name given all the other teams are called Earthquakes, Pirates, Scorpions, etc. You get the picture. Anyway, Liam's a Makos and our colors are red and white. More game vs. practice pics to follow.

Tea with Tinker Bell

Drew had a great time at his friends Tinker Bell tea party for her 3rd birthday.

Hilton Head Vacation (June 2009)

The boys traveled in style on their trip to Hilton Head.
