Isaiah’s 6th Birthday Party

James — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 17:51:03 +0000

It was a party, it was a sleepover – it was all fun !

Isaiah had a handful of buddies spend the night for his Harry Potter themed birthday party.

The kids really had a great time eating, playing here at the house and at the park (when I kicked everyone out of the house so I could clean up…)

Check out these few pictures – more to come soon.

Good Day Sacramento

James — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:48:29 +0000

This week we have the kids in Art Camp at Re|Create here in Roseville. Most of you know that Jen is on the board for that organization, she even wrote a blog post for me on INFOtainment News (see that story here).

Well this morning Good Day Sacramento, the local CBS morning show did a special segment on the center and the camp.

Of course, Jordan and Isaiah got some good TV air time.

There are two segments in the video below. Watch the one titled “Recycle, Reduce, Reuse” and the one titled “Human Maze”.

The kids had a lot of fun

Joanie and JJ showed everyone their dance moves this past 4th of July weekend at the lake.

I was able to capture the fun on my iPhone 4

Thank you Uncle JJ for taking Jordan & Isaiah to Chico and also for capturing this great moment on video.

Where We’ll Be Camping This Weekend

James — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 07:25:02 +0000

We’ll be at Meeks Bay on the tip of Lake Tahoe. Here is a link showing all of the facilities.

You may notice that it says “no showers” – now I’m definitely not going to like that, even if it is just for the weekend.

And Yes, I’ll be taking my iPad.

Update: here is the slideshow of pictures we took while camping:

Memorial Day 2010

James — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 06:14:03 +0000

Memorial Day/Work Weekend for 2010 has passed for the year and thankfully no one got run over with a truck or had a tree fall on them…or ended up bleeding this year after working around the lake – yes, all of those unfortunate things have happened to us in years past.

Probably the big deal this year, however, was the 1st Annual Fishing Derby for the kids. Of course the Hicks and Gholson kids were the majority participants, so obviously we won most of the prizes.

Check out these pictures from the Fishing Derby (sorry my Dad couldn’t be there, he would have loved this…next year for sure):

Isaiah Sings For Mother’s Day

James — Fri, 07 May 2010 18:16:51 +0000

Isaiah’s class had a Mother’s Day Tea today – judging from this little video I’d say the day was pretty special for the moms.
