Once Jeremy had a job lined up, we went out to California to see family.
We had a chance to see Jeremy's grandparents - and Great Grandpa took them for a ride!
During our visit out to California, we were also able to stop in and see some of our friends. Apparently, Josiah was going through a phase where he wanted to be ready for any circumstance, except where pants are necessary.
Have you ever seen a picture before with 5 children ages 2-7 all looking at the camera & smiling?! I know - it's a miracle! (We didn't even make any bribes or promises)
Thanks for letting us visit - and for a great dinner!
Cousin Lexi
4th of July with California cousins
So, I'm a little concerned about Keiric making the moves on girls already!- he walked over and grabbed Miss Ella's hand and started to dance with her."Who me?... Yeah, I know I'm smooth!"
I love that their cousins are just the right ages to be great friends!
Keiric and Lexi are only a week apart!
On our way home from Cali, we stopped in Parker along the Colorado river where Papa was working
Arizona cousins and a couple 2nd cousins thrown in too.
Later in the summer, we also took a quick trip up to Flagstaff to see some of our college friends and their families! Unfortunately, we missed the twins which arrived a few weeks later - guess we need to schedule another trip!
Apparently, Grandma needed a pinata at her birthday party in July - the kids had a great time attacking it - though it did get a little intense. Even Ava with this fierceness couldn't get it to open.
Before school started, Kaylie and I were able to go to a lunch matinee of High School Musical. She really REALLY wanted to go and even offered to pay herself! (Though we didn't make her)
We even lucked out with 1st row tickets - she was talking about it for weeks.
This is our very fun Bible Study group right before our photo scavenger hunt - this was the nice friendly smiles before the shoving to get into our cars to start the race! So fun!
We had 1.5 hours to run around town and take required pictures. Things like: *In a hummer. *In a firetruck. *Hugging a Walmart greeter. or *everyone in a fountain. This is *Picture of your team with blue tongues
Kaylie's first day of 2nd grade! I cannot be this old- I mean - we still hang out with the college group (see above pictures)
This is the, "Mom, would you stop taking pictures and leave already?" look.
Just hanging out at home with Papa and the cousins watching Land Before Time
Looks like you had a great summer! :)
