Deep sea fishing

2009-09-08T15:54:00.000-07:00

I went deep sea fishing for the first time. It was so much fun that we are going to do it every year. We left on a Thurs. night at about 10pm slept on the boat and then started fishing on Fri. at 6 am and fished all day long. Everyone was so tired by the time we got back Fri. night at 9:30pm. There where 28 people on the boat with us. If anyone wants to go next year let us know. We want to try and fill the boat with people everyone knows.

Us with some of Jason's co-workers that went.

Me and my fish. I was so tired by the time I finally reeled in my fish. I am going to have to work on my arm muscles for next year.

Jason and his fish

The boat would follow the dolphins all around because most of the time that was were the fish where. It was such a pretty site watching them.

Dana and me. Dana is the one that got us all together for the trip. Thank you Dana.
THANK YOU Jaleen for watching the boys so we could go. Love Ya!

This was our first Easter back in San Diego and it was so nice being able to spend it with family.

Library Easter

2008-04-10T09:37:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday's the boys and I go to story time at the library and a couple of us got together and we had an Easter egg hunt for kids. The boys had a lot of fun playing at the park and getting their faces painted.

Snow for Valentine's

2008-04-10T09:09:00.001-07:00

On Valentins's we woke up to snow. The boys loved it. The only bad part was that Jason got stuck down in Lakeside that night because they closed the roads.
But he made it home the next day and him and Jon built a Snowman. A dirty and funny looking one but a snowman.

Jared's 1st Birthday

2008-02-19T15:49:00.001-08:00

It is hard to believe that Jared is already one. My babies are growing up to fast.

Thank you to everyone who came to help us celebrate. We are so grateful for everyone's love and support.

Jared started out enjoying his cake.

Then ended up not enjoying it. When we went to get a cake just for him they only had an ice cream cake. Jared didn't like bitting in to the ice cream. OOPS!!

From the yawn on his face I guess he had some fun.

Disneyland

2008-01-10T16:47:00.000-08:00

In November we went to Disneyland. We had a great time with Charlie, Jen, Savannah and Emily. It was great to see you. We've missed you guys.
Jard on the Dumbo ride. He was laughing the whole time.

The boys on It's a small world.
Jon was so excited to see Savannah. As soon as they saw each other they started walking around holding hands.Jared loved riding the carasel. Any ride that went up and down he would start busting up.

This was on our way home after our second day their. It took both of them 5 seconds to fall asleep once we got in the truck.

Utah Trip

2007-08-19T22:56:00.000-07:00

The boys and I were able to make it up to Utah this summer for a little visit. It was nice being able to see my parents and Jaren and Jonas. During our trip we went to the Hill Air Force Museam and The Lake. For me personally the Lake was the best part. I have been dieing to go skiing. I think it has been almost ten years since I water skied last. It was so much fun. It did take my body a couple of times to remember how to do it again though. But after that all I had to worry about was my sore muscles. Jon really enjoyed it as well. He loved riding on the boat and watching mommy fall down and of course he tells everyone how I fell down. Thank you mom and dad for taking us out. We love you.

This is me skiing.

This is Jaren. The wakeboards bindings needed to be fixed so Jaren and Jonas had to use the skis.

Jonas did get up for the first time single skiing though. But of course I had to put one of his wipping out as well. Sorry Jonas.

Jon and I tubbing. For the most part Jon liked it.

The Fire

2007-08-19T22:05:00.001-07:00

During our trip to Utah a fire broke out on the mountain right outside my parents back door. Of course I called Jason right away to talk about it and I had to take pictures to add to our fire photo albums. I think this will be the only set in there though that I was the one taking the pictures. It was an exciting night. Buy the time they got it put out it ended being about 574 feet away. Luckily we did not have to evacuate. The firefighters on the job did a wonderful job protecting the homes. It was actually kind of fun to watch the whole process though. I usually just get the hear all of Jason's stories.

When it first broke out they had plains dropping fire retardant. I will tell you one thing it is amazing where some of those pilots can fly to drop the retardant. There were so many power lines around I didn't think they would be able to pull up in time. It definitely takes guts and talent.

This was at night. It lit up the whole sky. It was actually really pretty. The next morning a helicopter was there dropping water.

This is also a picture the next morning when it had made it all the way down the mountain.

My dad and Jon looking at the fire with there (as Jon would say) "knockers".

The Circus

2007-08-19T21:45:00.000-07:00

My friend Emily was able to get us some really good tickets to the circus this year. We were right down in the front. Thank you Emily.

From the time that we walked into the arena Jon was just amazed. He loved seeing the elephants and tigers performe the most though. It is all he talks about still. Here are just a few pictures of the night. Oh and Thanks Katie for coming with us. That is all Jon talks about as well.

I think Jared is practicing to be a clown.

Jon clapping and in Ahh.

The high wire act. It is amazing what these performers can do.

Jon vacuming

2007-08-19T21:38:00.000-07:00

Jon used to be so scared of the vacuum. But then one day he decided to help Grandma Kraling vacuum and now he is not scared anymore. So of course I had to take a picture. Thank you Grandma.

Fourth of July

2007-08-19T20:58:00.000-07:00

This year for the Fourth of July and my 30th birthday we had a few friends over to Mike and Martha's house to help us celebrate. Thank you to all that helped us celebrate. You made it a wonderful day. And thank you to those who called and sent cards as well. I really appreciated it.

Jon's friend Sean and a few neighbor boys (Logan and Jacob) came over as well. The boys had alot of fun squirting everyone with the water guns and then had a water balloon fight. It was so cute to watch.

My two handsome firecrackers.

Sean and Jon with there squirt guns. I think they thought the PVC pipe would block them from getting shot.

The water balloon fight. The boys were so excited to do this they could hardly contain themselves.

Jason and I after he got home from work. Anytime he is able to be home for my birthday I am very thankful. Thank you Jason for being so wonderful and for helping to make the day so great.

Jon's first swim lesson

2007-08-19T20:46:00.000-07:00

I decided to enroll Jon in a two week swim class this year.He had alot of fun and did really good. I think he was probably the oldest one in the class. As you can see I was able to do the lesson with him. It was a great time for the both of us. Jared didn't really like it though because he had to go to the YMCA day care. Jared did really good the first week, but was a pill the second week. I am so glad that I enrolled Jon though because now he is not scared of the water at all and has become quite the little fish.

I promise Jon is not picking his nose.

Del-Mar Fair

2007-08-19T20:23:00.000-07:00

We got some free tickets to the Del-mar Fair (from a wonderful woman named Nada) and Katie the boys and I were able to enjoy them. (Jason and Tim were both working) I am so thankful that Katie went with us to. She took Jon on the rides I couldn't because I was watching Jared. Thank you for going with us Katie. Jon had alot of fun with you.

Jon and Katie on the bumper cars.

Jon throwing the ping pon balls into the bowls. He actually did really good. Better than I have ever done.

Jon and Katie on the water ride. You can barely see Jon right in front of Katie. I was a little worried on how Jon would do, but Katie said he loved it.

The boys at Daddy's work

2007-04-02T10:38:00.000-07:00

The boys had alot of fun visiting Daddy at work. Jon really enjoyed having so much room to run around. Jon even got to see a family of deer. (there was a really nice buck you would of liked dad) Jon really liked the big fire trucks as well. He tryed climbing all over them. Jared of course slept most of the time. Just the way I like it. Jon has enough energy for the two of them.

Jon driving daddy's truck.He had the biggest smile. Which quickly changed once we tryed getting him out.

2007-04-02T09:55:00.000-07:00

On Friday Jason's work threw him a going away party. The boys and I did get to drive up and enjoy the fun. Jason worked with a great group of guys and he will miss them all.

The yummy cake.

This is the wonderful parting gift that they gave Jason.
Jon of course thinks it belongs to him.

Turtle Bay

2007-03-08T19:28:00.000-08:00

I took Jon and Jared to Turtle Bay and we met up with our friends Jen, Savannah and Emily. Savannah and Jon had a lot of fun going down the slides and playing on the swings.

Jared Michael Kraling

2007-03-08T13:33:00.000-08:00

As everyone knows Jared was born on December 29, 2006. He is doing great and growing like a weed. He just had his two month check up and is now 13 lbs. and 24 inch. Jared beat Jon by two pounds at this point but is the exact same height.

This is the day he came home from the hospital.

He smiles all the time now.
