Sunset Beach - Memorial Day Weekend

Every Memorial Day weekend, we go camping at Sunset Beach with a group of friends from Fremont. It is always super cold, and we always swear that we are going to start going somewhere warmer, but every year, we end up back at Sunset Beach. The kids love it - there are kids the same ages as ours, so everyone has someone to play with. I love visiting with my friends. Even in the cold, everyone loves the beach. (except me...you will find me with my sweats, sweatshirt, and ski coat on bundled up in a chair watching all of the action!)

Cannon loves to boogy board! Notice the wet suit. This is not Hawaii!

Catching a wave!

Looking good!

Cool picture - these guys were all with our camping group!

Ski Day - April 2009

Last weekend Cannon took all of the kids up to the mountains to ski. I had to work at the Preschool's spring boutique in the morning, so I couldn't go, but they had a great time. AND, I had a day at home alone.

Cannon came home and said "It turns out Jackson can really ski on his own!" We had taken him a few times this past winter, and he had taken some lessons, but it all came together for him this last weekend. He could ski several runs all by himself!

They went to Sugarbowl. It was the perfect California ski day - almost 60 degrees!

Because of all of the sun, sunblock was a must!!
What a perfect day!

Easter 2009

On Easter we went to Martinez to Mom and Dad's house for dinner, an Easter egg hunt, and lots of fun!
Holbrooks

Cute cousins! Brittany, Devon, and Taylor. Brittany and Taylor are 12, and Devon is 13. Devon and Taylor have the same birthday, they were just born a year apart. They are such good friends! It is nice that they are so close. They do miss their cousin, Megan, who is also 12, and moved to Pennsylvania!

CJ - Diamondbacks - Opening Day Ceremony

Opening day for San Ramon Little League. CJ is playing A Ball this year, for the Diamondbacks. He loves all sports...especially baseball!
Most of the team - trying to get a good picture! (there are 14 on the team, so there are a few missing)

Waiting for opening ceremonies!

Lining up for opening ceremonies!

Makayla's Birthday

We went to Sacramento for Makayla's 5th birthday party on April 4th! The party was at Bounce Town, and there were tons of bouncy things for all of the kids to play on!

Group shot!

Go Jackson!

Mike and Jaycey

Jaycey, Makayla's little sister, was afraid to go down on her own, so she went down with Taylor, and then with Morgan. She loved it when she went with her cousins!

CJ and Makayla

Even the "big kids" liked it! I went down a few times, and it was fun!!

Snow!

Did I mention that Cannon loves the snow? And to ski??

One Saturday we went up to Sugarbowl to ski. I think it may have been President's Day weekend. Seemed like a good idea, until....
Not only was there lots of snow, but also lots of traffic...

We sat in this traffic for quite a while. Luckily we were just going back to Sacramento to Eldene and Joe's house!

So, even with all of the crazy weather, we had a good time. The kids can all ski. Cannon is proud. He still wishes that I would love it like he does. :)

Did I mention he wants to ski again this weekend????

Basketball!!

Basketball Season

Both Morgan and CJ played Basketball this year with the San Ramon Youth Sports League. Morgan was on the Silver Stars, and CJ was on the Clippers. They both are great players, and had a great season!!!

Next up: Little League for CJ, then swim team for all 4 Holbrook kids!!! :)
