30.....again. ;o)

Today was my birthday. Anymore, I don't really get too excited about birthdays but the boys are so cute about it. Micah had requested what my birthday cake read and Noah really wanted me to get cars on it. I went with Micah's saying but no cars.

We've been spending some time each afternoon at the pool that was closed for most of the summer. They finally opened it this week and we literally had the whole kiddie pool to ourselves Monday, not the case for the last two days. The boys have a great time and completely wear themselves out, not to mention the mommy wears herself out as well.

Tim picked up the trailer and now it's packing time! Can't wait to get to WY and see friends and family. It will be great to have a break from Vandenberg and we're all looking forward to warmer weather, which we don't get much of during the summer months here.

Annual trip to San Diego for 4th of July

Where shall we go next?!

Micah with a panda in background, he looks a little nervous.

Swimming with floaties only.

I hope Tim and I can live in paradise when both boys are grown and on their own.

At Seaport Village, cool place!

Tim acted like he was going to throw me in the water.

For the past three years we've gone to San Diego for the 4th of July, this year was really cool though because Tim's parents moved right smack in the middle of downtown San Diego. Talk about anything and everything to see, it was a great time! Lots of that time was spent in the pool, Micah did great with just arm floaties and Noah was jumping off the side of the pool like it was nothing new to him by the last day. I think our trips to San Diego will be what we all miss the most when we finally leave California.

We've also gone each year to a special church service held for the 4th of July at Tim's parents church. They do a great job in honoring all that have served and continue to serve in the military. This year Tim's stepdad scolded me for crying too much, what can I say, I am proud of my military family and others as well. It is the ulitmate sacrific! :) At the end of the service they call for all veterans to come on stage and recieve a metal, Tim is so humble and never wants to go up, each year he does and now he has three metals.
