Visiting Teaching

So my visiting teacher called me up and asked when she could come visit me this month, I said I was open almost everyday this week, so she asked if I would like to go to the beach? We'll that's a no brainer....so we went today. It was so wild! We went to 26th because it's a smaller beach and really easy to walk to and they have bathrooms. So we show up and you can see where all the waves have been washing up, so I tell Liz lets just put our things here and see how things are looking. We'll it's a good thing we did, because about 5 minutes of watching waves, a huge waves washes over the hill and starts flowing down our side of the hill. We run back to our things and everyone is grabbing flip flops, clothes, sand toys, you name it and throwing it out of the way of the water. Other peoples belongings were getting washed away, we saved one guys flip flop and his apples from his cooler. Crazy! So we end up parking ourselves on this cemet slap where people can park their bikes. It was the only safe place.:) So this is a video of some of the AWESOME waves we witnessed today. It wasn't exactly a relaxing day at the beach, but a very exciting day at the beach. It was Fantastic!!! Thanks Liz for the invite!

Hot Summer Night!

I have heard about ice blocking ever since I was in the youth program but I've never actually witnessed it before until.....now! The Hale's called us late yesterday afternoon to see it we wanted to go ice blocking. We had some things we had to get done, but with it being so hot the boys were determined to go because it sounded a lot cooler than being in the house. So we got our things done and met the Hale's in Morgan Hill to try out ice blocking. It was tons of fun, the boys loved it. So here's a short clip so that if you're like me you can see what it's all about.

All Stars!!!

This is Brevin with his buddy JT(our JT loves that there's a JT on Brevin's team). They were also on the Rays together. They had all their All Star games in Santa Cruz and ended up getting 3rd place out of 10 teams. Not to shabby, considering they lost the 1st 2 all-star games last season. So maybe next year they'll be champs? Brevin had a great time...I was amazed at how much he learned in these last few weeks of All-Stars. He played 1st base and pitcher, his favorites. He played very well defensively and batted .417 for the tourney and struck out some of the other teams best players.

Of course Brevin had his faithful fan club show up to every game. Clint was so happy to be feeling well enough to make the trip over almost every day this past week. Clint and I enjoyed the games....JT and Zack enjoy the great concessions. :)

Here's a look at Brevin's whole team. It was a great group of boys! Brevin really enjoyed the players and the coaches. Great Job Brevin!!!!
