Summer Fun

We have been enjoying the summer heat for the last month. The girls love the water. Well Ruth does as long ad it doesn't touch her face or head. But Leah just dives on in and does come out until dragged. We have been going for walks almost every day. Leah rides her bike and becoming much more comfortable on it. Ruth sits in the jogging stroller and talks the entire time, pointing out every thing she sees. She has a blast. The girls are also having fun with the new kitten, prince. Ruth is learing to be nice a gentle to the kitten and Leah is learning the responsibility of having a kitten, like changing the litter box and feeding him. I thinks Ruth loves having her big sister home during the summer to. She is gonna have a hard time when Leah goes back to school in the 'third grade'! There is plenty of summer left and we are looking foreword to camping, more swimming and maybe a trip to Idaho.

Prince

The new addition to the family. Little Prince. So now we have two adults, two kids, and two pets....(and four stick bugs).

An empty nest

Well the girls are down in California with Jessicas parents. We met them in Roseburg last thursday and handed them over for eleven days. The church down in sacramento has a vacation bible school that Leah has been going to for the last few years. This is the first time we have had Ruth this far away for this long. It will be nice to relax and get things done around the house.

Anyway, dats da news.

Some photos of Ruth

Went out last night as the sun was going down and took some pics of Ruth and Rosie.

Leahs New Do

Leah was so excited this weekend. We finally went and got her summer haircut. Her and Ruth are going to california for a few weeks and she wanted a haircut that would keep her cool. She looks pretty cute.

Back from Paradise

Well we returned last weekend from California. We stayed with Jessica's parents out side sacramento where it was 102 degrees. Jessica's sister's wedding was at the house and it was beautiful. Then we left the kids and headed to our paradise on the central coast. We lived in los osos a few times and we love to return. We had also wished we could have afforded to stay, but it is not a place that is easy to be freelance.

Anyway we had fun and here are some pics.


Here are some photos at and nears Jessicas Dads house, the photos above are of Los Osos.

629 miles

Well, we are heading down to California tomorrow. Jessica's sister Kristin is getting married. The girls are very excited. Well Leah is, Ruth just knows she is getting ignored as we get everything ready. We are going to be down there for a week. The wedding is at Jessica's Dad's house in Plymouth, about 40 miles outside Sacramento. He built a big house, but it is on 50 acres that has no public power or water, so I am excited to see his setup. We have seen pictures but only Leah has been to the house. It is gloomy here in the NW and should be 90 degrees down there, so that will be exciting. Bring on the shorts, white legs!

Leah Fishing

Leah is on spring break this week and is having fun. I came home for lunch and took her and Ruth out to lunch. It was fun. Monday my Dad and Mom took the girls fishing. They all caught fish! Leah was so proud that she caught the biggest fish. You can also see her sporting her new glasses. She also has to wear an eye patch a few hours everyday at night to help her from getting a lazy eye. It irritates her, but Jessica and I making pirate references irritates her even more. So we are going to stop that. Anyway, she is going to stay at Grandma and Grandpa Copas's tonight and she is excited. Oh and the fish wasnt really THAT big. But I wanted to tell a good fishing story on this april fools day. But the fish was big, so they say.
