The boys get another year older

This last weekend we had the boys first real birthday party.  We have had our  family get-together to celebrate the boys birthdays, but no parties with friends.  This last friday we made up for lost time.  We had an Indiana Jones themed birthday party with about 50 kids.  Crazy or what?  It was so fun though.  The boys had a blast, and I think the other kids did too.  My Mom and her husband Phil took over 560 photos.  Here are some of my favorite shots...
   
Here are Dustin and Dane as Indie.  

The party would not have been a success with out the help of these wonderful ladies.  

Friends from Dustin and Danes' class.  


The reptile show.


The start of the Indiana Jones obstacle course.








Pizza time.
Cupcakes and presents.



The boys got more presents then they knew what to do with.  Thanks everyone who helped and attended the  party.  Dustin and Dane really did have the time of their life!!!!

The Cobras

Dustin has decided to play soccer again this year.  His team name is "The Cobras."  Awesome name, I know.  The first game was today and Dustin did amazing.  He seriously made  the last goal, the winning goal of the game.  We were so proud of him, and he was quite proud of himself.  



Dane wore Dustin's cleats  and shin guards from last year and kicked a ball around the entire game.  Dane is going to be an amazing soccer player next year when he is old enough to play.

The first week of school

We had an exciting first week of school.  Dane is back at Mrs. Shirley's going three days a week, and Dustin started kindergarden.  Both of the boys love their teachers and are so happy to be back in school.  I am also glad school is back in session.     

Here is Dane on his first day of school with the amazing Mrs. Shirley.  





Here is Dustin at his first day of kindergarden.  He has grown up a lot this summer, in height and personality.  He gets super shy when girls talk to him.  He looks down at his shoes and tries to ignore them.  It is so cute.  He is also the tallest boy in his class.  What a catch he will be in 12 years.     

The last week of summer

We had a blast the last week of summer.  The kids and I did something fun everyday.  We went to Disneyland twice, the beach twice, the pool twice and Big Bear once.  I didn't capture all the trips like I should have, but I did get some cute shots.    

                                   


Justin and his Dad took Dustin out surfing.  If you look closely at the third shot you can see Justin's Dad and Dustin (on the yellow board) sharing a wave.




Here is our family at Disneyland enjoying a Dole whip.  If you have never had one, you are missing out.  Also if you notice my tummy is sticking out a little past my pants (hot).  For those not in the know,  Justin and I are expecting our fourth and finale child in April.
