A Day at the Beach

We arranged a play date for Hobbes and Phoebe at the beach this week.

We taught Hobbes how to levitate. I mean I don't want to brag or anything, but that's way cooler than "roll over".

The girls

The boys

And the very popular tennis ball. Actually Phoebe was interested in the tennis ball. Hobbes was interested in Tom's shorts. Specifically the right hand pocket containing delicious treats.

No baby yet

No contractions yet. Due date is this Thursday.

Orlene's Boysenberry Pie Recipe

With fresh boysenberrie's from Stancie's yard, I used Grandma's pie recipe and attempted to master baking a pie. Though I don't know what it was supposed to look like, I presume Grandma's pies were better looking and of course better tasting.  But, I will keep trying.

"Your pie's not very photogenic" quote by my husband.

1st Fish

Not near as cool as Uncle Rob's fishing trip but Wyatt (and Gerrit) sure had fun catching their first fish!

Govinator comes to Calabasas

I know this is an everyday event for Tom Foss, but it was a unique day at CHS . (And you can all imagine how I feel about him right now with all the cuts to education....) But what a great teachable moment for students to be a part of a press conference and to meet the Governor of California.
