Thunderstorms

Our weather has been funny this summer!  We started out in June, cold and wet, with some February-like temperatures. Now July has been hot and humid with many thunder and lightning storms.  Friday night James and I went for a walk shortly after one of the storms.  Here is what we saw!

Happy 20th Birthday Austin!

I haven't posted in a while but my camera battery won't charge so I don't have many pictures.  I thought I would post a  picture Austin since he will turn 20 on Wednesday!  Twenty!

Spring Break 2011

Robbie, Kenzie, Kati and I went with my friend Ilauna and her kids, Spencer and Mekinzey to Oceanside, CA.  We stayed near the beach and enjoyed the ocean.  Robbie went nonstop and was exhausted each night.  We went to the San Luis Rey Mission, Old Town San Diego, The Farmer's Market, Belmont Park, and La Jolla Cove to see the tide pools.  We saw seals, pelicans, dolphins and surfers.  We walked a half marathon a day at least back and forth to the beach, the pier and other places.  The  weather was on the cool side but still perfect.  We had a great time!  Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip.

April Fools on April 3rd

So as many of you know, Sunday morning we woke up to eight inches of snow!  For two days before it was sevenity degrees and then Mother Nature played a cruel trick.  We decided that instead of complaining we would embrace it and took a ride up Skyline Drive in Fairview Canyon.  Here are some pictures of that!

A Litte Update

It has been a little while since I have posted.  So here are some things that have been happening here at the Ewell house.  Robbie earned his Arrow of Light  and moved from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.  He also began playing accelerated basketball but I don't have any pictures of that because I never remember my camera, James is entering the land of the employed, Kenzie with some help from awesome people passed Chemistry in the third term, Kenzie entered the first chapter of one of her stories to a contest, and Robbie, Kenzie, and Faith went to the Color Festival.
