Ethan Turns Three!

We celebrated the third birthday of our oldest grandson last Sunday. He even tested some party favors on his brother.

Charlie is Wildcat of the Year

Our own Charlie Bollard won the Wildcat of the Year Award from Westwood Basics Plus Elementary School. The award recognized scholastic achievement and student leadership. We are very proud of our "Charchie."

These are the grandboys!!!

The Summer of 2007

We are fast approaching the end of the Summer of 2007. Sam will be leaving for school in Utah while the rest of will keep the home fires buring in California. We have spent many warm afternoons in the pool. Christy and Bill have really enjoyed having the entire family around for the first time in many years. We are especially taken with our grandboys - Ethan, Luke, Max and Teddy. We never knew life could be so good.

Bill spent most of his summer in trial up in San Jose. Christy made a surprise visit last week to watch the fireworks in court. Thankfully, the case ended well and Bill is now back in Orange County.

Most of the family went to Lake Powell with our good friends the Terrys and the Swartwoods and then with Audra's extended family. It is always a favorite spot. We're going to try to take a family portrait soon and will post the results on our blog.
