Quick update...

So Micah finally bought a new truck! We are so excited this is going to make a huge difference for us financially and we are just too excited about it! Not just because it's going to be basically an increase in pay but the Lord planned this at the perfect time! We are going to need the extra money since we just found out we're PREGNANT! Yes, I said Pregnant! It was quite unexpected but we are very excited to go through this one last time and complete our family! I am sure any other time we would have been a little stressed. But the Lord has a perfect plan and we can certainly see his provision for this great change that will be coming in about 7 1/2 months! So anyways I just thought I would post this update for those of you who haven't heard yet. Here are some pictures of Micah's old truck and his new one...

Update

So our computer was down for almost a week, it got a virus and had to go to get fixed:( However now it is back and I get to post all our pictures from the past 10 days!! So what you are about to take a gander at is our crazy lives so far this month! Here is whats been going on:
We got an exchange student from France. Here name is Laura or as Marcus calls her "Warwa" she is supper nice kind and kind of quiet but we have been having a great time!

We took Laura to San Francisco

Had a fun July of the Fourth with Laura and RoRo

And have been swimming a ton! Check out how tan my boys are getting it the pictures that follow (I know I know they look so Mexican! But hey that's what happens when they are part Mexican:)Right?

So anyways scroll down to look at the pictures and I'll post more soon!

Matthew melts my heart...

So Matthew is doing new things all the time! As you know we have foreign student from France "Laura" staying with us right now. Matthew has taken a liking to her an will sit next to her on the couch and stuff it is pretty cute! So the other night at dinner he looks over at her and starts winking at her! Mind you I nor Micah or anyone else for that matter have ever showed him how to do this! I thought maybe he just had some thing in his eye so I tried to see is he would wink at me too and he did! So I had to get a video because it was just too cute!

Random Marcus stuff...

So among racing(or pretending to race cars), pretending to announce races(Pictures and video of this will soon follow, cause it is pretty darn funny!) and his plain old love for all things fast and dangerous Marcus may have a more artsy side. I should have know since he is awesome at drawing race cars and people, he now very much so enjoys taking my camera and finding things to take pictures of. It's great! So the following pictures were taken by him except for the ones that are of him of course! These are just the most recent ones so enjoy I am sure there will be more following very soon:)

July of the fourth

So for the July of the fourth we swam most of the day,played some Wii, BBQ'd, went to the golf course in Modesto to watch the fireworks show, did some of our own while we were there, came home put the boys to bed, went outside finished off the rest of the fireworks just us grown ups! It was very fun and tiring!!!


Me , Laura and Roro

Marcus and Matthew in awe of the big fireworks in the sky, can you tell?!?


Matthew and his wild hair

Marcus' Crazy lifestyle

So here is a tid bit of video of Marcus doing some "Extreme Bungee" (well it is pretty extreme for him, he's 3!) Micah did the video, that is why it is sideways. Which actually makes sense because it wouldn't fit on the screen other wise. So anyways, enjoy this little taste of the joy, crazy, dare devilness, no fear, down for anything life of my son Marcus!

San Francisco with our student from France

We had a great time in San Francisco with our Student from France. Here are some pictures to prove it...



Marcus Had to have these glasses but then didn't want them once we left the store so we had Laura put them on:) And then here is one of Marcus and Micah at the Golden gate bridge.



Okay so Marcus really wanted to do this bungee thing. He absolutely has no fear! There were a bunch of people cheering him on while he was on there! unfortunately he did have to get off at some point which was not his idea of fun. The other picture is a photo opportunity provided to us by the makers of Kodak of our student Laura.


here again is Marcus after a nap, I think he may still be sleeping!? And another of him on the bungee thing.

Laura and I at the Golden Gate Bridge.
