Happy 42nd Birthday Jason!

Jason had two birthday parties this year.  The Home Instead Senior Care staff from Hemet and San Diego put on quite a celebration for him.  They all made delicious food and surprised him with a ticket to the Dallas Cowboy vs. Green Bay Packers game.  The game is in Dallas, and Jason is thrilled as he has been dreaming about going to the Dallas stadium.  His second party was with our family.  There he received a couple of Dallas Cowboy t-shirts for his big trip.  Jason deserved to be honored for his birthday.  He has such a generous spirit and is an amazing husband, father, son, friend and employer. 




Farmer's Fair

The kids had the opportunity to sing at the Farmer's Fair with Shine.  They performed several patriotic songs.  Both sets of grandparents came to support them.  We all had a great time enjoying the different festivities and rides.  One of the highlights was watching the Derby Races.





Shaver Lake Camping Trip!

On Labor Day, the Hixson and Baker families took a break from school and went camping up in beautiful Shaver Lake.  This is one of our favorite camping spots but we have not been there in a couple of years.  We enjoyed jeep riding, hiking, bike rides, a day on the lake in cousin Dillon's boat, campfires, movies under the stars and lots of delicious food.  One of the many benefits of homeschooling is that we can go on vacation when everyone else is busy with work and school and we don't have to fight the crowds.
