Fun at the farm

Hi guys, it's me, Obadiah! Me and my little brother Malachi went over to our buddy Preston's house to visit him the other day. He lives on a farm. Check it out, he's even got his own tractor!!!


That thing is fast! I tried driving it, but I had a hard time with the shifter and the pedals. I think I'll just watch while Preston drives Malachi around the yard. I think Preston has a hard time with the steering too. He goes until he runs into something and then the wheels just start spinning, then he throws it into reverse and starts all over again.


You can only play "Let's run over Obadiah with the tractor" for so long, so we decided to go visit "Porkchop". Porkchop is Preston's pony. Porkchop isn't very big, I'm just as tall as he is!!


We took some baby carrots with us to give to Porkchop. He eats them right out of your hand. Kinda slobbery though! Malachi was not too happy about sharing the carrots so he tried to shove them all in his mouth at the same time!


Not me though! I shared ALL my carrots with Porkchop.
That's why we're such good buddys!!!

4th of July


Hi there, it's me, Obadiah! For the 4th of July we got to go sailing on this boat!!! That's our new friend Monty. He lives on the boat, can you believe that?!?!


I got to sit up front and watch the water go under us. It made me feel kind of wierd. It made Mommy feel weird too. She had to hang off the side of the boat for a little while. She felt better after that.


That's downtown San Diego. See the really old looking boat with lots of sails?


Here we are... the men... hanging out... doing what we do.


We sailed right past this buoy with real live sea lions on it!!!


We also sailed right by this old skool boat. It looked pretty cool, it must be a lot of work to put all those sails up the pole thingys.


I got to steer for a little bit!! It was really cool, you could feel everything moving around when you spin the wheel. They didn't let me steer after I spun it though. I think they were just jealous of my sea-worthiness. AHOY!!


We put Daddy and uncle Ben to work.


While they were working, Mommy, Malachi, and me were working on our tan!!!


After a long hard day of sailing we watched the fireworks over the bay. It was really sparkly.

Vacation!!!


Hi guys!!! Malachi here. This is me, and my Mommy, and my big brother Obadiah, and my auntie Lindsay at Sea World. We are getting ready to see Shamu!!!


Shamu is frickin' HUGE!!! That thing jumps RIGHT OUT OF THE WATER!!! I could not believe my eyes!


Obadiah got to feed the dolphins! I pet one really quick, but it thought that I had food too. It opened it's mouth real big and I was outta there!!! NO WAY am I sticking around something that big, that opens it's mouth that wide, so close to my tiny little head!!!

AAHHH.... Starfish!!! That's a little more my speed. I can handle starfish, they're cool, and a little slimy, which is a plus.


Obadiah got to pet the starfish too. He got a little grabby if you asked me though!


Obadiah thought he was so cool that he touched the stingrays even though I wouldn't. He didn't think it was so cool when they TOTALLY SPLASHED HIM!!! Oh man, I laughed so hard. He smelled like fishy salt water for the rest of the day.


OOH SCARY!!! We loves us some Sharks! We took these pictures in the tube that goes right through the Shark tank. It kind of freaked me out when this one showed us his teeth!


The one that is closest to us is a leopard Shark. You can also see two black tipped sharks right behind him. I don't know what on earth that stupid fish is thinking?!?! I would be outta there in a heart beat if those Sharks were swimming around me!!!

we love it when friends come to visit!!!


Our best friends Zachariah, and his little sister Micah came to visit us for a few days!!!

We were just trying to look cool for the picture but Daddy told us later that we were probably making gang signs and that we have to be careful or we might get in trouble.

I hope the po-po aren't peepin' out our site yo!!!


Micah is helping Daddy tune his guitar up!!!


We went to the mall and climbed all over this huge statue of a hand! Our favorite activity is being as loud as we possibly can while we try to get away from our mom's at the mall. Mommy said something about getting a leash, I'm not sure what she means since we don't have a dog or anything?!!?


Zachariah and I are SPEED DEMONS on the scooters!!!
LOOK OUT!! We'll run you over!!


AAWWW MAN!!! What a drag!! Right when we were having fun Zachariah took a header off of the scooter. That's gonna leave a mark!!!
