San Diego

A few weeks ago we went to Sunny California. We pretty much did nothing but sit on the beach and hang out. We met up with friends and Aunt Sherry. We caught sand crabs and boogie boarded. It was heaven!! While we were there we decided that we need to buy a beach house in Coronado. Any one want to go in with us on it? We will put up the first $100,000 and you all can do the rest ok?

Happy 4th of July

Let the Rivalry Begin

Jayden cheers for Skyline and Coleman plays for Olympus. Looks like we will be rooting for both teams in this house!!

The Birthday Boy

I adore this kid. He is truly the world's best boy. This year Coleman turned 11. We tried to celebrate by going to Seven Peaks but the weather didn't hold up for us. Just about the time we got there the sky opened up and started to dump rain! Fortunately for us, Transformers came out on this same day so we opted to go see that in the dry movie theater instead. Coleman will be having a party with friends next week but we celebrated with Red Robin, Chik fil a, and the movie.
Some things I never want to forget about my 11 year old Coleman:
1. He is the kindest boy around. Truly, he is always thinking of others (with the exception of his little sisters)
2. He has a bit of a temper on him...he likes to slam doors and has been known to throw out the "I hate you" bit before. But this is only when he doesn't feel like he is being listened or understood. We are trying to get Coleman to understand the difference between understanding what he says and agreeing with it. Hard concept sometimes.
3. He LOVES to read books. I am pretty sure that he has read every book in his school library that interests him. He would like to write books someday!
4. He wants to go to MIT and become a reverse engineer. In his spare time he will write books and invent stuff.
5. He has an amazing testimony and absorbs information like a sponge. So many of his teachers at church tell me he asks questions they don't even know the answers too. Many times during scripture study at home he understands what we are reading far better than I do!!
6. He is a great cook and makes many a meal around here. From ramen to eggs to grilled ham and cheese to hamburgers on the grill he loves to cook and share it with those around him.
I love this kid and I'm glad if I only have one boy it's him!! Love you Coleman!
