Sea World

Just about every year we have gone to Disneyland with Petes family. This year we headed off to Sea World. My kids have never gone and its been so long for Pete and I we couldnt remember much about it. So Friday pete worked a half day and I spent the morning loading to car and getting everything ready (Petes parents were awesome enough to pick up the boys @ 8am, which meant we got our First Road trip ALONE ever!! It was nice!!) Saturday morning we headed off to Sea World. It was a blast. and it wasnt too hott, just humid =( The boys were LOVING IT. Seeing all the animals. When they were looking at the sea lions one actual came and sat up on a rock RIGHT NEXT to the glass! Later at night when it wasnt soo crowded we walked down to the killer wale tank!! It was a momma and two babies, just not soo small. They were totally showing off =D Swimming around and playing and bumping into each other. Then one came RIGHT in front of the kids and hung out for a few minutes like he was talking to them, moving his mouth and all!! AMAZING!! Definately my favortie part and of course my camera was dead =( ugh! Overall a VERY fun day at Sea World but thats a place I wouldnt recomend doing every year. Its like go back once you've forgotten how cool it was. Cause if you went all the time it would kill all the thrill!!

Broken Heart!!

So Jaidens saying Lately is too cute!! For the past month or so he says this every once in a while and I have no idea were he picked it up from but I LOVE it.. If he is getting into trouble or if we tell him no about something, he breaks out with " Your breaking my heart" in his sobby little voice. It makes me wanna laugh but kind of breaks my heart at the same time =D

24th Of July Celebration!!

Every 24th of July as far as I know my Grandparents Stake have a huge Celebration at the Stake Center. My family went this year a had such a good time. The boys had a great time on on the fun jumpers and with the fun games they had! Jaiden, my little daredevil, decided he could jump down one from the top of the slide to the very bottom, no slide was touched in between!! I swear, its a good thing kids are built as tough as the yare otherwise we'd all be in trouble =D They had lots of great food and of course it owuldn't be a celebration without cotton candy.. although Jaiden and I stood in line for about 15-20min for some. I was surpirsed how patient he was waiting, I guess the end result was worth it all =D At 9pm they had a firework show! Lots of pretty fireworks but it was definately loud. Sheree and Adam had little ear plugs for Jade so that worked out perfect so she didnt freak out! The weather was perfect too.

Jai had to do this one, again there was a line but he didnt mind, It was something he was determined to do. I kept telling him " theres lots of kids waiting so if you cant get to the top then you have to just slide down and let the other kids take there turn". As it turned out he did REAL good. The first time around he was to the top before I could turn my camera on. So I decided to record him going so well the second time!

Movies @ The District

Ive heard last year that they have free movies outdoors at The District. I wanted to go but before I knew it summer was over. So my sister Sheree mentioned it again and we decided to try it out. My mom, Gary, Lindsey, and Jade met us there too! So the movie started at 8pm so we decided 7:30 would be ok to arrive. Well, next time we will plan a little earlier.. It was ok but being a little farther back didn't help my boys attention span. So we saw bits and peices but really mostly enjoyed doing something different, with the family, and in great weather. We will definately go back, but next time a little earlier and with a movie we know they like.

Heres a movie of Rylan talking on the phone to his cousin Greyson!! I was getting a kick out of it for a few minutes before I started recording.

Crystals Wedding

Night Before the Wedding

The night before Crystal and Ryans Wedding, Ryans family threw a BBQ/Pool party. We all went over and had a BLAST. We ate lots of great BBQ food and WOW.. What a FUN pool, and the water was so nice that we were swimming after dark and werent getting cold. There was a little cliff that all the kids were taking turns jumping off of. Rylan took his fair share of turns, and even Sheree and Adams baby girl Jade (15 mo.) got dropped off into her daddys arms =D By the end of the night my boys were worn out with fun and Jai was out cold before we could turn out of the community.

Baby Bunny

My dad found a baby bunny in his back yard with no mamma around. Or course he caught it so my boys could check it out. We kept it for about a day and a half and let it go in the same place at the same time =( I hope its ok but I really didnt want to keep it. We had him in a box overnight to (Pretty big to) and the little guys jumped out. Pete heard him hopping aorund in the middle or the night =) Too Cute!




My boys were so sweet and gentle with in.

He was soo teeny and cute, he even looked tiny next to Rylan.

4th of July

Thursday the family all drove up to Warm Springs to camp out and have fun swimming (First of all NOT the same warm Springs I grew up loving.. All the slides and cliffs are no longer there or allowed to jump from, its gated off and needs 3 lifeguards at all times from your group.) Anyways Thursday night was fun, we only swam for about 30 min and then it closed. We hung out and ate. We found a frog and Pete & Leshal decided to put it in my parents tent ( It was funny but not quite the reaction we would have liked.. they werent IN the tent when they found it =D) We overall slept pretty good (For Camping) Friday morning we ate and got back in the pool. I was on stand lifeguarding and Pete had the boys. To make a long story short. Gary, my Dad, Pete and Jaiden all get stung by Wasp in about 10min. I was so upset and mad that my poor baby had to go through that. ** NOte >> the theory that pennies help with bee and wasp sting is TOTALLY true. Pete put one on his and it helped the sting, later took off and the sting came back. Jaiden had a sting on his hand and we put one on it.. I then realized about 5 min later his ear was swelling up like a UFC fighter =D we put on on it and bandaged it on.. it took out the swelling and im sure the sting too. Very interesting I thought but good!! So we decided our time at warm Springs was over and we were ready to get out of the place. Jaiden then got bit by a fire ant.. not cool. The way home me and the boys were exhausted and slept all the way home plus about another 11/2 hrs once home. That night was better>> We went to Petes parents and had lots of yummy barbeque and fun doing Fireworks! Overall it was a good 4th of July but were not sure well be heading back to Warm Springs.. I wish my kids could experience the same Warm Springs as I loved but I dont thinks its gunna go back to that. =(

















here Jaiden after his bites.
