LAST BIT OF SUMMER BREAK....

These are some of the last of Summer fun photos. The kids at swimming lessons and just having fun. I know that my sister Anna says that you're not supposed to do 3 blogs in the same day, but, I find it easier to do it all at once I guess. So, Anna will just have to put up with her little sister Liza once again :)

Aaron and Eliza's California Trip

For work, Aaron has to go to California every once in a while to do a parent support group. So, Eliza decided to go with him. It works out great because his flight, car, hotel and food are all payed for. All we had to pay was for Eliza's flight and food. Not a bad deal. We had so much fun. We invited our good friends Amy and Jordan with us. It was so fun to hang out with them because they both grew up in Idaho and Amy had never even been to the beach!!!! We played in the ocean forever, went to the Orange county fair, went to a Medieval dinner and show and just chilled. The kids got to play with Grama Annie and Pagah and had the time of their lives. Grama and Pagah were tired, applesauce on walls and all, but it was sure nice to have a break. It helps keep life in perspective. Thank you !!!!!
We went the end of July.

Ammon's Documented and Fun Birthday...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMMON TOA!!! We love you so much! We can't believe you are 4 years old today!!!(Tuesday, July 15) Ammon was born at 2:37 pm on July 15, 2004 and has been a joy to our family ever since! My favorite things about Ammon are: his smile, amazing sense of humor, his eyes and eyelashes, his hugs and the way he gives everyone hugs when he is really excited, his amazing imagination and deep understanding for everything, his awes (R's), his love of sweets, his happy countenance, his inherent testimony of Jesus, his love for his family, his wrestling matches with baby Marrick, and so much more to love about this amazing, fabulous, wonderful Ammon Toa Boy! Alana stuffed Ammon with stuffed animals! Bex and em, remember doing this? :)
Always up for an adventure and a smile!
The sweetest boy ever!
Love you Ammon Toa!
Loves to play with "boy toys"

Just turn your head to the left...

Marrick is only 16 months and has mastered the slide! Ammon sure loves to pick on his brother! I am really enjoying the boy thing! (For real) Sorry, I don't know how to flip the movie!

The Johnson and Larsen's come to UTAH!

At the end of June we got to see Ray, Stephanie, Johnnie, Katie and Lizzie Johnson! Then Anna, John and baby mystery Larsen came a day later! Anna was 17 weeks pregnant and we tried to talk her into a mall ultrasound, but no…..

Ray called this the ultimate babysitter! Lexi and Clairie Gomez are also over watching a movie. We love having cousins come!!!!

Uncle John loves baby Marrick and gave him an awesome Mohawk!

Marrick looks completely entertained. Love you Uncle John!

We did fireworks for the Arizona folk who can’t do any legally there. The kids loved it, but Ammon wouldn’t go near them.

We all went to the Bean Museum at BYU in Provo. If anyone has ever visited Grama Annie and Pagah and is under the age of 10, you have bean there :} Aaron refuses to go after about 200 visits with local youth jobs and church callings. But the kids LOVE it! There are all sorts of animals from all over the world! This is the awesome butterfly wall made up of hundreds of little butterflies!They especially loved the big Rhino. Alana kept putting her fingers up it’s nose.We watched the magic school bus bat movie. Stephanie and I kept nodding off.The kids all came over for a sleep over on Friday night. Aaron was on a camp trip with boys in the ward, so I decided to have some fun with the kiddos. We played, watched a movie in the playroom and ate popcorn. Our kinda fun! This is when they all finally fell asleep after 11pm!
There are too many kids in this tub! There are too many elbows to scrub! I just washed a behind that I'm sure wasn't mine! There are too many kids in this tub!!!
