My those are big eyes you have.

Gwen had fun with Grandma's mirror. She kept saying My eyes are so big, my face is so big!

Strawberry Pie...MMMMM!

Grandma Duffy came to visit this summer and she got Damon to make a strawberry pie with her. It was delicious and Gwen agrees!

Brandon was invited by his Uncle and Aunt to go to Peru with them. Aunt Sarah had been down in Ecuador and Peru all summer writing her Master's Thesis and Uncle Jess and Brandon met her down in Peru for the last of the trip. This is Brandon and Jessie via Skype. We have been able to video call and text pretty often. We have been amazed with technology lately. I think they are touring Machu Picchu today. This is one lucky 15 year old. What a great experience to go to a foreign country. Thanks Jess and Sarah!

Damon is going to kill me!

I'm sorry Damon, but I just had to post these of you coming out of your oral surgery. He had his Wisdom teeth pulled. They gave him a pill to relax before the procedure and then IV sedation and to top it all off they gassed him. He didn't like the feeling the gas mask gave him. He said instantly he felt his body go numb and it felt like someone one was hitting his head over and over with a hammer. Ouch! Recovery was okay but not great. But he did well enough to go to Magic Mountain for a friends b-day 3 days later.

Happy 4th of July

Gwen and her cousin Elizabeth were having so much fun together at the annual Jarman Family 4th of July picnic.

My Mom and Dad always bring a couple pinata's for all the kids.

Gwen's loot!

Look at the concentration on her face.

The Girls!

This year the 4th was on a Sunday. I had to work at the hospital that day but when I got home, Stuart, Damon, Gwen and I went over to Founders Park and set up our chairs to watch the fireworks. Gwen would cover her ears and put her hands over her face occasionally. She liked them one minute then was afraid the next. Then on Monday we went to our family picnic. Family, fun, baseball, good food, and of course homemade ice cream.

My nephew's 9th birthday.

What a fun party. Renting a BMX track,...yes I even got in on it and had a great time. Stuart was laughing at me the whole time because I was screaming. I thought I was going super fast but to the spectators, I wasn't. At least I tried and so did my sis Amy. He did say that I had good form:)

and my 67 year old dad!

Uh-oh watch out for the brothers competition.

I love this place!!!

This is the life...

Irvine Regional Park. We started our day with a picnic at the park...

A little bocce...

A little relaxing, exploring, and bonding...

A little juggling...

A little adventure...

And of course the zoo,...which is only $2 per person. Very small but fun for little ones. Now which goat should I torture next...

To end the day a train ride with mommy while I was tooting my train whistle that my big brother Nathan bought for me.

The Freshman with a Letter.

Well after making the frosh soph team his Freshman year and after no previous volleyball experience, Damon moved on up to JV for a couple of games then on up to Varsity where he joined them half way through the season. He is so excited to have lettered his Freshman year,...a jacket to put your letter on...got money!!!
