We're on our way to Grandpa's house, and we're bringing...



...anaphylactics, bananas, cuddly little kittens...(nod to our last road trip with Auntie Pam and cous Hallie, see past post ;). Anyway we're moving to Grandpa's house soon, so mommy and daddy decided to burn some calories and trim the, slightly, overgrown front yard. Here are some 'before' and, well 'during,' shots (the 'after' shots are a long ways away...)


UPDATED: Check out the paint job! wahoo!



From the neighbors' house across the street. This is a first-time shot!!

Before: from the driveway looking into the front yard

During: almost the same shot...wow! you can see the house!!

After week two: yep, same house!


Before: view from the front porch

During: hey! we have neighbors! what the?! howdy!
(Jake was hangin' in our pack n' play at the bottom of the pic)

Wahoo! that's all I can say! Wahoo!
Same shot looking down the street the other way. No pre-shot as there was nothing but bush before! I mean nothing but bush!!

Can you visualize the tire swing?

Mom kicked the sidewalk's butt!
Before: Camellia gone wild!
Pretty much after: ahhh! hey there's a window!

We had a blast hangin' out with Gramma Peg! Thanks and we'll keep you updated on the progress! Love, Drew

The hike from, well, you know..and The Lost Pictures!

UPDATED: As of a week or so ago, I, Andrew, have taken up saying "mum" when I want my mommy. I thank Super Nanny for the inspiration of speaking my first work with an English accent. Jacob, on the other hand, seems content with rubbing his fist back and forth over his mouth to make funny 'Indian' Tribal noises (sic)...

Mommy and daddy were bored this weekend and had this crazy idea: let's go on a hike! ..but not just any hike, a 2.7 mile hike (each way) to a (disappointing) "waterfall" in 80 degree heat..oh, and they thought it would be a good idea to bring the stroller!?!

So this was before they busted out the stroller...they were smart for a minute..


Then they thought.."oh, this trail is easy"..let's just take the stroller..yeah..hiking is not meant for double strollers..see the hill we just went down? not as much fun going back up..


upon arrival at the "waterfall" ..yeah, not so much.



Here's what else we've been up to:

We watched the fireworks on the 4th with daddy, 'Uncle Matt,' 'Auntie Darby,' 'Grandma and Grandpa Arlene and George,' Matt's daughter Alexis, and Darby's family. (Mommy had a bad case of the flu and spent the whole day and night in bed :( )




The beach: with daddy, 'Uncle Matt,' 'Auntie Darby'..and some of their cousins from Oklahoma.

Not daddy persay.. but what he would look like if it was him...

Just chillin'

Daddy busted out the guitar for us to practice on...We ARE the future of Switchfoot..

Testin' out our piano skills Grandpa's old piano with 'Gramma Peg'

We took a trip to beautiful Balboa Park with 'Auntie Chrissie' and our future lead singer Matthew

Grandpa Bill made funny noises with his bottle... You're crazy Grandpa!

Just some other cute pics of us!

See ya later alligator!! Jakers and Drewski.
