San Diego Fair June 2010

This was our annual trip to the fair. It is always fun to take the kids and see the new exhibits, eat some good food and ride some fun rides. The kids love to see the animals and enjoy a day of fun at the fair. This year we got to see the Fireman's Demolition Derby competition, eat cotton candy, meet Smokey Bear and much more.

Fun with Friends June 2010

These are just some fun photos with friends during June. We were trying to get as much time with friends as we could before we left for Monterey. The first photo is Cali and Kara at Fuddruckers for dinner one night to celebrate Christine's birthday. The next 2 photos is when we took pictures of the Jenkins family at Balboa park. We let the kids run and play for awhile in the photos. The next photo is one of Cali with frosting all over her mouth. We went to dinner with Arnel, Lisa and their kids and some nice lady gave cupcakes to all the kids. You can see how much Cali hated hers. :) Then, the last photo is Kara, Hanna and Cali playing at the Danielson's home. They had put on makeup and were dressing up. Doesn't Kara's eyeshadow look great?

CEC with the boys June 2010

This was our last outing with Ben and Jimmy from the Edisto Boat. They got close to our family and the kids loved them. We took them all to Chuck E Cheese for a night of fun before we headed off to Monterey.

Ventura Beach House June 2010

This was a fun getaway. Jen Platt's family invited us to join their family for a vacation in Ventura. They all (mom, dad, kids, spouses and grandkids) take a big family vacation together each year. This year it happened to be at a HUGE Ventura beach house. They invited us to join them so we could hang-out but also to take family photos. It was an amazing place and fun to be a part of their vacation.

Chase/Knoop Cousins June 2010

We got to spend a short evening with the Chase's while we were headed up to Ventura to see some friends. As you can see the kids all love eachother. Too cute!

The Keelers Visit May 2010

The Keelers were in California to visit Cassle's mission in Anaheim and then stopped to see us on their way home to New Mexico. It was a fun afternoon of shopping and playing. Hanna was not so happy about the pictures but the other kids were happy to see their fun cousins. We love you guys!

Andersons May 2010

Just a fun picture of the kids with their Anderson grandparents. They love going to visit and grandma and papa love them visiting.

About us.....

We are the Knoop Family or better known as the Knoop Troop. We are made up of KC, dad, Carolynn, mom, Seth, Cali, Hanna and Wyatt. KC serves in the US Coast Guard and has for the last 14 years. He brings lots of laughter to our family and showers us with love. Carolynn stays at home with the little stinkers and loves every minute of it...even if she says otherwise. Seth is our oldest child and a joy to raise. He is very smart, funny, loves to do magic tricks and build things. One day he says he will be a scientist. Cali is our second child and the first girl. She has a very big personality and uses it every minute of everyday....she is very active and fun. She loves to dress-up, paint, sing, dance and help mommy. One day she says she will grow-up to be a mermaid. :) Then, there is Hanna. She is child #3 and holding her own. She is funny, loving, helpful, full of energy and talkative. She has learned to do things that will get her attention....good or bad. She is a red-headed fireball. Then, there is Wyatt. He joined our family at age 21 months. So far, he has had his 2 yr birthday, dressed up for Halloween, celebrated Christmas and so much more. He is a happy little boy who loves to eat, play with cars and trains and learning to talk. We hope our memories bring you as much laughter as they have for us.
