Just a cute kid. Falling asleep on the couch.
Abuelita (My Mexican Grandma) had a birthday on July 12. For her birthday, her daughters told her they would take her on a trip anywhere she wanted to go. She chose my house. Well, I couldn't have Abuelita here, and not make her cook for me!! Chile colorado. Gracias abuelita, y mis tias tambien!!
Samson just being cute.
Zeke moved this chair to the counter, and proceeded to help himself to knifefulls of peanut butter. I wonder who he learned that from. (daddy...)
They are already being naughty together. Warms my heart.
8 month picture. I think I may have forgotten his 9 month shot.
First time with a banana. HE LOVED IT!!
OH NO!! My binky is stuck on mater's tow hook!!
Is there anything cuter than a baby in a sink-bath?
Um, I hope that sham-wow was clean!!
A couple of weeks ago, Jacqui and Dan and fam were in Tahoe for a few weeks. It was so fun to go up and visit them. Josiah even took a few days off of work (which is pretty much unheard of!)and we went up for the weekend.
We went to Reno for one of my brother in law's friend's birthdays. We went to a fun buffet at the Grand Sierra Casino. And then right outside were some bumper cars. Fun times... Zeke rode with daddy, and screamed the whole time.

Chillin at tahoe. He fell asleep in the car on the way to the lake, transferred to the stroller, and slept for 2 hours while we played in the sand! THAT NEVER HAPPENS!! (I actually have a picture of him a couple of summers ago in this same position!)
Sweet Samson soakin up the sun! (And eating some sand.)
Finally he woke up for some glamour shots!
Then we walked around all the sidewalk vendors. I LOVE my boys!
Then we went to a local farm. It's called Farm fresh to you. They package up their fresh produce in a random variety, and then you can order by the box. They also give farm tours, so we went up for a picnic.
This is Josiah and Zeke on the tractor tour.
I was in charge of Samson. Not fun. He was super squirmy!
Zeke picking free cherry tomatoes.
Susanne, Easton, and Zeke picking tomatoes. Zeke would pick one, put it in his basket, and then chuck it at someone. Jo was proud.
Mike and Clay soaking up the sun.
Waiting for the tractor ride back. Samson was pretty hot and sweaty!
Nothing like a Mexican coke to cool you off afterwards. Josiah gave him that. What are dads for?
"What Mom? Nothing to see here..."
Last night 5 months of training culminated in a race of epic proportions!! Just dramatizing it a bit. Me and 3 other girls from our ward did the Modesto Midnight 1/2 marathon. It was ok, but I was looking forward to more swag. We got tiny bags of chips at the end, and 1/2 bananas. I really needed that free massage like after the tri 4 fun.
Pre race... Me, Liz, Kim, and Tara.
MINE!!! Liz started us out quick, and I couldn't let her beat me, so I had to keep up. And then about halfway through, I abandoned them at a water stop. I rocked it out at 2 hours, 4 minutes, and 59 seconds. About 15 minutes faster than I had anticipated!! Kim came in 2 minutes behind me, and then Liz, and then Tara rocked it out just behind her! We totally represented for our morning jogging group.
