Here are Jenessa and Parker with their Karate trophies. Jenessa took first in sparring and Parker took second in forms. We are so proud!
Here are Parker, Jenessa, and Gavin on Easter Sunday, Gary was in Utah for Easter.
Strawberry festival day in Arroyo Grande. The kids loved the face painting and were very disappointed when it washed off in the shower.

Here is Gary with Momo. He has her soooooooooooooo wrapped around his finger.
So, our first summer here on the coast has gone very well. We love the beach and the weather here. Mike likes the coastal division much better. He hasn't missed standing on the freeway in 110 degree heat at all. I am working two day's a week and subbing here and there, but my main job is taking the kids to the beach every Wednesday for the mommy play group. Gary spent most of the summer with Glen, but did come back in time for the all important hike with Pop and the Uncles. He LOVED it. Parker and Jenessa are doing well in Karate. Parker is now a green belt and Jenessa is a blue belt, and no neighbor kids have been hurt in the process. Gavin is potty trained, but still calls from the bathroom, "Mommy, will you wipe my butt?" And of course he is still my little snuggle buddy. Lastly, I was just called to my the first counselor in young women's, this is over the girls that are Gary's age and half of them have a crush on him, it should be interesting.
Love to all,
Lori

I'm so glad that you are finally blogging. I've been bugging her about this for months now. I love the pics. The coast seems to suit you guys well. Amy-Ty has a man crush on Phelps too. We didn't miss a race. I personally thought I would have enjoyed them more if he didn't have such a funny looking mug.
