WINE TOUR TO WHISKEYTOWN!!!

Isn't this too funny! As a parent said we are sending our 5th graders on a "California Wine Tour" bus to "Whiskeytown" Funny! If that were the case I'd be on that bus and Joe would be home holding the fort down! heehee... Actually, they are off to 5th Grade Camp at Whiskeytown Environmental School for the week! And cruisin' in style I must say! I'm sure it looks funny 2 bus loads of kids cruisin' down I5 in a Wine Tour Bus! The kids have all been looking so forward to this week! Justin is so excited to spend the week with all his buddies and as an added bonus his Dad is with him! Well, kind of. He's one of the chaperones but not Justin's! Justin's 5th grade class is such a great group of kids and the parents that are going all know each other and will have a blast as well!
And they're off....

Rob (aka Wolfie's dad & Steph's husband) & Joe...first on the bus & ready to go! I think the guys were just as excited as the kids!

Together at last! Justin and his buddies in his cabin! They are going to have so much fun...hopefully they go easy on their cabin counselor!!! Rob, Joe & Vic..three of the boys cabin "chaperones". It's a good thing they had to have a background checks and fingerprints taken!! heehee.....
Being silly...all the kids were so excited this morning (at 6:30 am dropoff!!) for camp!!

Aaawww..... My big boys!

MOM'S NIGHT OUT WITHOUT THREE BOYS!!!

It's not always about the "three boys"! I'm so lucky to have the greatest group of girlfriends!! All of us moms would be lost without the support of each other and the friendship! Last night we went out to Joe's Crab Shack in Sac to celebrate some birthdays! Five to be exact! It is always soooo much fun when we all get together (aside from our monthly BUNCO!!!) Never a dull moment and always lots of good laughs!!

JAKE STARTED SOCCER!!

GO U6 ROADRUNNERS!!!!!!! Soccer started last week for Jake! This will be his last year in U6...next year he will begin traveling to Sac for games..ughh..He loves soccer and he has such a great team this year!! It's going to be a fun season!!! These aren't the best shots...I will post more when I get some better ones!
Going for a goal!!!!!!!


JAKE & BROWN BEAR!

Today was FINALLY the day Jake got to bring home Brown Bear!! Brown Bear is his Kindergarten Classroom mascot. A different child takes him home each night then writes about his time in Brown Bear's Journal! It was so cute to see Jake so "fatherly" with Brown Bear....changing his clothes, feeding him, reading to him, tucking him in, buckling him up in the car.... Jake even dug up his old Roadrunner shirt from last year for BB to wear to soccer so he could be part of the team!
Jake & Brown Bear just woke up from their nap...

PRACTICING CLARINET...

JACK OF ALL TRADES...
5th grade is when you can start Band! I must say a was a bit surprised Justin was so gung ho about doing it! He decided to play the clarinet since Joe happened to have one laying around here! He is actually doing a great job with it so far and absolutley loves it! I don't think the neighbors are that crazy about it though...heehee! Thank goodness Joe is a music man to help him out...I am completely tone deaf!!!!!!!!!!
