What we have been up to this summer

Visiting with my friend Kirin at my parent's house.


Drew stayed with us for about 6 weeks this summer. It was alot of fun to have him around. He definitely keeps things lively as if that's hard if you know my husband. Drew and Spence together is quite a sight...I was ready to pass out the ritalin somedays, we settled for energy drinks:) Drew was such a big help with Stone babysitting a few times in a pinch, staying in the car for a minute while I did quick errands and just keeping him entertained. Drew even made us a fabulous dinner one night...quite the talented young man. Eleven going on 21...seriously.

A ghetto picture of my first "Perfume Party display" I need to stain my oil carrier but no one but myself seems to mind. I have had three parties two in Utah and one at my mom's and the response has been pretty good. Those that have tried my perfume oils are hooked. I took a little break July and August and am ready to roll again. I have two parties this week that other people are hosting. Wahoo.

Stone took quite a fall on Sunday morning June 28th. We were late to church and he tripped on his own feet I guess and hit the corner of the wall and split his forehead open. I was pretty scared and was so glad Spence and Drew were there to help calm him while we took him to the E.R. We had to wait about two hours which is ridiculous. He was so hungry and cranky by the time they stitched him up. It took Drew, Spence and I to hold him down to even have the nurse put numbing medication on him. I was sent out of the room when they stitched him up. I walked down the hall and held back the tears as my baby screamed...he was so mad that he was wrapped tightly to the bed to keep him still. We literally ran home for two seconds and grabbed our luggage and Drew, Stone and I headed on a plane to San Jose. Great timing, huh? Stone was really good on the flight...but no swimming for him until the end of the week. He had to watch me in the pool teaching the younger cousins how to swim...poor guy. I know this won't be the last time for stitches with this kid either.

Family night-bonfire at Millcreek Canyon

Taking a break from the hot springs in Honeyville, Ut. They had 4 different hot tubs including a large pool of varying temperatures...they were all too hot but the pool. It was so relaxing.


Hanging in his diaper and trying to control the remote already

We were invited by my sis -n-law to a privately owned lake. The jetskis were not working but we swam, jumped on the water tramp into the water, pushed Stone on the swing, and the boys 4-wheeled. It was such a great day. I love summer time.

The only con was trying to keep this kid from jumping off the deck. The pro was this swing my only relief from watching him like a hawk, except for when Spence had him too of course:)

Stone loves cheetos, dorotitos...his body craves the salty stuff.

Hanging with Amber and her boys

Amber and Micah


This ones a little fuzzy but I think it's cute anyways.



I hate this one of me but Amber looks good. My head looks gigantic.

Stone and Micah playing. I couldn't get a good picture of Saxon he was always on the go. Stone had fun playing with the boys and swimming.

Here is cute little Dane ready to swim. He has the cutest dimples ever.

It was so fun to catch up with Amber while we were down in Southern California. She makes it look easy having 3 boys under 2 1/2. Thanks for the fun day.

Continued

My favorite taco place ever except the local one in Puerto Vallarta

I can't post more than five pics for some reason, arrgh. Computers infuriate me.

Our old stomping grounds San Clemente and Pedro's Tacos

San Clemente State Beach. Spence and I spent alot of time here when we were dating/engaged.


I think Spence is having as much fun with the toys as Stone

It was not the best beach day, it was way overcast and windy so we only stayed an hour.

Stone loved squishing the seaweed

and eating the sand.

Disneyland continued

We love Disneyland and miss living close to it, especially now that we have a kiddo. Spence actually worked here one summer when he was 20.


Amber met us at Disneyland until it was nearing naptime. It was so fun to see her and to finally meet her new addition Dane. Thanks Amber for taking our picture on It's a small world. Why didn't we get any of us with our boys?...whoops.

Chillin with the juice box

Disneyland April 29th? 2009

Me and my little Mickey. Everyone has to have a set of"ears" at some point, right?

He loved the Finding Nemo ride

I love this one of Stone peeking above his dad's hat.
