Jeff

Jeremy's youngest brother, Jeff is going on a mission in October. We just found out he will be serving in the Honduras! So exciting! So we had Jeremy's family over a few weekends ago. I'm trying to get as many pictures of the brothers together before he leaves. So on Saturday they went to play basketball. My intent was to get a before and after picture to show how sweaty they get, but when they got back Jared jumped in the shower before I could take the picture. Jeremy's parents and Jeff stayed to watch the kids while Jared, Melissa, Jeremy and I went to the temple. Once the kids were asleep, Jeremy's parents left and Jeff stayed with our kids. Thanks for babysitting!

BJ's Girls Night

Last year, our good friend Tisha moved! For her birthday before she left a group of us went out to BJ's. So here we are a year later, and she came back for a visit. So to keep tradition, we of course had to go to BJ's again. The food is great especially dessert! The black and white pizookie is so good! We were glad to see her again!

Summer Lovin'

We have been having a great summer! Through a few organized activities we have been to the Observatory and a children's art museum. Of course you have to go to the beaches here in California. Gotta love that! We also went to a Dodger game. I wasn't really sure if I'd like it, but it was fun. Pretty relaxing, and a good time. The view is great once you are walking out to the parking lot seeing downtown all lit up. Apparently while we were all having a good time at the game, poor Grandma had a run for her money with 4 kids. She had a few poopy diapers and lots of crying from the kids. Then when we got home Kamryn was still awake. I guess she was a little excited to have her cousins sleeping in the same room as her. So far the summer has been great. Maybe we'll get in a few more Dodger games and beach trips!

Right before we left all four of the kids decided to dress up in Kamryn's princess dresses. Aren't they cute?
Woo hoo! Go Dodgers!

4th of July weekend

We had a great 4th of July weekend. We always love going home to visit family. We went swimming and had a good time. My mom barbecued for us and came with us to watch the fireworks. Before we made it over to see the fireworks we used the hot charcoal to roast marshmallows and make s'mores. They were so yummy, it made me want to go camping. I think Kamryn is old enough now to go. Kamryn sat with her uncle Jeff during the whole firework show. She did the same thing last year! I always love seeing all of the hot air balloons early in the morning out by my parents house. Kamryn helped me wash my car for the first time too, I'm waiting on my mom to email me those pictures though. We sure are blessed to live in this country and I am so thankful for all of the freedoms that we have. We hope everyone else had a fun weekend!

She loves CiCi!

Recent events

Melissa and I missed cheering for Jeff when they called his name! We had good intentions for screaming real loud though!


Congratulations Jeff! (Can you tell they are brothers?)


We went out to dinner to celebrate Jeff and Celina's graduation.

For Father's day this year, Kamryn hand painted a card for her dad. I helped her with the letters of course, but she did the flowers all by herself. Jeremy is such a great dad to Kamryn. He is so patient with her and knows how to have fun with her too. She sure loves her daddy! We love you!

Stake Fair

Every year our stake puts on a great fair! They have bounce houses, huge slides, water slides, slip n' slides, pony rides, a petting zoo, and a mini train ride. Also they have hot dogs, chips, popcorn, cotton candy, churros and snow cones. What is even better is that it is all FREE! It is so much fun! I was tempted to go down the slides, the kids made it look so fun. We may stick around here long enough next year to go again one last time.
