A Whirl Of An Update!;)

 Once again I find myself having to catch-up with another post! A few weeks ago Mommy took us children to the L.A. County fair for their homeschooling day. The Pau family was taking their three younger ones and told us about it!
 Walking to the place where we were able to store our lunch during the morning.....
 Three, little, guys, ready for some exercise.....
 A fun cut-out the boys posed in.:P
 We also got to ride the tram-which was fun!
 One of the exhibits-it was a good place to escape the heat!
 The exhibit was all about sharks and here was a place to take a picture in a cage with sharks surrounding it! Why anyone would want to do that is beyond me!!
 We also got to see some stingray inside that exhibit!
 After that we visited another exhibit called Pencils To Pixels! It was all about the history of cartoons, movies and media and that was quite interesting!
 Here we met up with the Paus and posed by Po, the Dragon Warrior.;)
 I love the little guys expressions here!
 Joshua, Josiah Pau and Timmy really enjoyed seeing eachother again!
 Momma and Mrs. Pau reading....
 Isaiah and his buddy Jeffrey, who actually allowed me to take this decent picture of them!;)
 And of course Caytlin and Lizzie enjoyed talking!!
 High society here......
 Stopping for lunch......
 Making sandwhiches.......
 Caytlin and I enjoyed matching.....:)
 Have some Gatorade!
 Friends....
 Waiting for the tram-it was pretty hot. With that said, we enjoyed watching an acrobatic show and then we left for home. The heat was too much, but we did enjoy the morning excursion.
 Another fun trip we made was an evening to the beach! This was yet another example of how sporadic our family can be!;)
 A quick picture before we went swimming.....
 Enjoying the freezing water-Timothy wearing his pjs!;)
 Yep, we're pretty wild!;)
 Even little Evie is pretty crazy!;)
 Wrestling in the water...:P
 More water fun!:P
 Sopping wet and ready to go home for a warm bath!
 The boys went to the pier and handed out tracks there with Uncle Paul a few weeks ago.
 It's been neat to see the boys hearts' in this opportunity.....
 Then, recently we had some much appreciated, and looked-forward-to rain!!
 Josh attempting to fly a kite...;)
 Looking outside.....
 Jumping on the trampoline!
 Sisters in the rain!!:)
 Then, last Friday night, we went to the beach again, but this time it was planned! We loaded up our chairs, some dinner, and wood for a fire!
 Waiting for Daddy and Ryan to get off of work to join us!
 The weather is getting a lot cooler now, with more wind-time for jackets!!
 Playing newcomb-a new game we learned at camp in Alaska this past summer.
 A lovely sunset.....
 Eating dinner....
 Happy to be done with work for the day, with his family at the beach!:)
Us Sebo ladies waiting while some extra, crazy, Sebos going swimming!!;)
 We enjoyed a warm fire, Uncle Paul (who happened to be at the beach) joined us for dinner, and sang some hymns! It was a good opportunity to get away from the busyness of school, work and life, to spend time together as a family and praise the Lord!:)

"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,   having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,   and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.  And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.  For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father."

A Special Lunch/Visit!

A few weeks ago, our family had the opportunity to have lunch with Daddy's biological grandfather for the first time! (The Lord opened the door for Dad to find and meet his biological mom and her side of the family, while we were in Alaska this past summer.) Dad and Mom had already met him, and now we children were getting to meet him!
He invited us to a very yummy seafood buffet and encouraged us to try everything for the experience!
Sushi, crawfish, and clams, just a few of the many different foods there.
The Grandfather with the three little boys! He was very excited to meet us!
Do you see any resemblance??;)
Surrounded by his great-grandsons!:)
The Grandfather was very  pleased with his great-grandsons and really loved spending time with them!
Us ladies with the Grandfather.:) It was so neat to see similarities between him and Daddy....:)
After a yummy, adventureous lunch, the Grandfather invited us to visit with him at his home. Here Joshua is his walking buddy!
We really enjoyed looking at albums and pictures, and often found pictures with expressions and faces that reminded us of Daddy!:) That was really neat to see!!
Lots of territory to cover in these albums....;)
Caytlin looking at a framed collage. This picture also shows just where Dad get's his lovely olive skin coloring!
The grandfather as a young man! See how much Daddy takes after him!!!:)
 Timmy really enjoyed meeting his great-grandpa!
Grandfather gave Evie a pink frog and this hat, both of which she is now very attached to!
Enjoying her yellow hat!
A family picture....
Saying goodbye...:)

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate."
