Yuba Lake




We took a little family vacation to Yuba Lake. We had originally planned to go to Lake Powell, but because of my work and we thought it best to stay closer incase the children lost control of themselves as they tend to do on an occasion. I have to say with Yuba Lake only an hour half away it was a lot of fun. They have sandy beaches so the kids can play and a pretty nice blue lake for all our activies in the boat. Jacob tried the wakeboard, got up for a minute... Wahooo! The kids loved loved loved the cliff jumping. They couldn't get enough of it. I was so proud of them, because the cliff was kindof high they were jumping off of. I finally can wakeboard.. what a task that has been. But now I can't get enough of it and I want to learn how to jump the wake. By the end of next summer I want to be pro!! I seriously can't get enough of it. I love having something I love to do. Oh but the muscles you use.. ouchy I get so sore. Kevin kept us fed and entertained the whole time. The only downside to Yuba Lake is it's Windy 9 days a week! But the times it's not it is a beautiful time. The kids loved it and had a blast. I think that next year we are heading down to Lake Powell with them all.

Jacob Soccer

Jacob was in a soccer tournament recently which determines who's the best of the best in the state. After 3 very long days, consisting of a tie, a win which was from a shoot out which Jake stopped everyone and on to the final day where they were playing for 1st place. It was an intense game with the other team scoring on a ball that bounced in a silly way so Jake missed it. Oh how Jake was frustrated. We came back to score a goal and then to have the other team come back and score another in the last 5 minutes of the game. So we are still proud to annouce that we took 2nd over all. Great Games Jake!
