The Bravery Award

This morning we got a call from Isabella's Dance Team instructor (who was running a Dance Camp this week) letting us know that they created a special award for Bravery called the Ferber Award. It was in Isabella's honor since she came to Dance Camp last year in her brace only a few weeks after having surgery to remove her spinal tumor. It was such an honor and even cooler was that Isabella was able to give it to this year's recipient, who had been bitten two weeks ago by a rattlesnake and told that she'd probably be on crutches all summer. We were really touched by the award especially since they'll be giving it out for years to come...though hopefully not too often!

Evan's 5th Grade Graduation

Evan graduated from the Imagine School on Wednesday...hard to believe that the kid who used to cry when I dropped him off at preschool is looking forward to middle school!

Evan FINALLY got a phone that he's been begging for this whole year!

Hollywood and LA

On our last day in CA, we travelled around LA and Hollywood. The boys were really excited to find the home of one of their favorite shows, Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory!

Bruce lived in Hollywood for two years while he worked at Capital Records and we found his old apartment!
We walked down Hollywood Blvd and looked at all the stars!

The tatoo shop from LA Ink!

Stopped for lunch at the famous Pink's!

Rodeo Drive!

Sunset Cliffs

After a day of surfing and a pizza lunch, we headed to Sunset Cliffs. The boys had a great time (and mom was a nervous wreck!) climbing the cliffs and exploring the caves!

Surfing!

We drove to San Diego to visit cousin Andrew and his wife, Bekah who we had never met...what an awesome couple! We went to church first (Andrew is on the worship team) then we went for dinner at Wahoo Fish Tacos...best ever! The next day, Andrew taught the kids to surf since he's the king of surfing! They all did really well and Jonah especially is HOOKED!
