Jon takes Eden surfing just about every chance he gets

Eden and Easton have enjoyed spending more time together and getting to know each other better...

We celebrated my Dad's 70th birthday. We all had so much fun!

Eden is often practicing her surf stance and whipeout techniques.

Baby Zion just grows and grows. Here we are at 38 weeks.

Gyotaku Video Updated

The finished product of the Gyotaku print is up in Zion's room! We placed pics of it at the end of the Gyotaku video, check it out!

"Shami's"

Since my parents gave us passes to Seaworld for Christmas, we have been able to spend a lot of time there with Eden this year. Because of our time there, Eden has become somewhat obsessed with Shamu. She loves to see Shamu jump and fly and loves to mimic that as often as possible. Whenever we are at the pool with Jon, she wants to do nothing but "Shami's" the entire time. It works out pretty well for Jon, because he can get her to do all sorts of swimming to the step on her own, etc for just one more Shami.

Jet Ski Safari's

The last few weeks we have made a very pointed effort to enjoy our last few days as a family of 3 before the new baby boy's arrival. We are very much looking forward to his arrival, in fact if he came today I don't think any of us could be happier about his timing, but we know that when he comes we will be more immobilized for a time. Which is why lately, we have been getting out on the jet ski as a family as often as we can, and it is so much fun to race with the dolphins, check out the seals, look for whales and snorkle in laguna. The time that we have spent on the ocean like that this summer has been pure magic, especially since we are sharing it with Eden, and baby to come.
