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:)

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.

Easter 2010

15!!! Are you kidding me!

Yep, they are 15 years old now, taller than me and where the same size shoe as dad if not bigger.

If you ever want a loud fun place to celebrate your birthday then Farrels is the place for you. Fun games, like pie eating contest, fireworks coming out of dessert, and ice cream galore.

Happy 15th Damon and Brandon!

Brandon

Does this look safe to you???

Brandon has been competing for the first time with the pole vault in track at Mission. It's a crazy sport when you really stop and think about what they are doing. I just hope he doesn't get hurt.

Stallions Volleyball

Damon loves volleyball. He never played on a team, just played for fun sometimes with friends but they convinced him to go out for the team. He made it and is having so much fun! Volleyball sure is fun to watch also. Lots of excitement and no down time. He is doing very well. He sure can jump for being one of the shorter ones.
