Summa, Summa, Summa Time...

So we've had a busy summer so far!!  And I realized today that I really need to update the blog before I get even more behind...  And next week we'll be in Disneyland so I need to be up to date before then!! Ü  So let's get started... I have lots of pictures to post!!

I walked by Kernan's room a couple weeks ago and saw this.. I had to go grab my camera and get a picture of it!  These two are so cute!

So the week after Maci's baptism, Jaxin and Maci attended a week long dance camp... They had so much fun!!  Here they are just before we left to go watch them dance!

This is what a boy does while his Sister and Aunt are dancing for all of us! Ü  Playing Mom's phone!
Photobucket

The whole group... it was amazing what they learned in just a week!
Photobucket

The next day, we had some ODD weather!  A major hail storm blew through and it totally looked like it had snowed!
Photobucket

Brian and the neighborhood kids jumping on the trampoline!  It was cold... crazy weather!!!

Alright, fast forward a couple of nights later, Eric (one of Brian's priests) was over watching the Boston vs Lakers game with us and the kids asked if they could toilet paper his car, I said yes! hehe!!
Photobucket

Even Kernan was in on the action!
Photobucket

But before they could finish Eric spotted them out the window and went out to get them!  Notice the golf club in his hand?! Ü
Photobucket

I loved this! So creative!! haha!  Oh and sorry girls, I blocked his license plate number so you couldn't all track him down and try to propose! lol!
Photobucket

All the kids had a sleep over out in our backyard in the tent that night!  It was a lot of fun!!  They were up WAY to late, but I wouldn't know how late because I fell asleep!  Brian was in charge!
Photobucket

Kernan is the only one that didn't last all night!  He came in shortly after we said good night to them and fell right to sleep on our floor!

Brian goes to Cali!
Brian is over the priests in our ward (the 16-18 year old boys) and they have a once a year super activity.  This year they decided to go to Cali and hit up Disneyland!  Can you believe he went with out the kids and I?!  Me either... I just kept saying to myself, "3 weeks for 3 days!"  He could enjoy his ONE day because the kids and I are going for 3!
The first stop they hit was the beach... They had fun burying each other!

Geoff and Joe on my FAVORITE ride!!
Photobucket

This is Eric.. I know you can't tell but it is! (i do not take the credit for these pictures, but I do take credit that he even took some!  I told him, he could not go to Disneyland with NO camera!)  Eric is currently taking video with  his phone of Splash Mountain (my favorite ride) which he sends me on my phone to rub it in!!

So while all the boys were at Disneyland the kids and I went and saw Toy Story 3!
Photobucket

We all loved it!!  I totally cried at the end!  We've already gone and seen it again! Ü
Photobucket

We have spent MANY afternoons on the lake this summer already!!  And it's still early in the boating season here!!  It's been a blast!  Last Monday we went out and took the kids and the Hall's girls with us!  Brian showing us how to surf...
Photobucket

Wyatt's turn... Doesn't he look mean in this picture?!  He's not! Ü
Photobucket

I have a bunch of sweet shots of the wipe outs!  These crack me up!
Photobucket


Photobucket

This is what Kernan does EVERY time we get on the boat!  So far every trip out he's slept through parts of it!!

Oh, look who woke up! Ü
Photobucket

Time to fill up the tube... Can you tell the kids had been waiting for this the entire trip?!
Photobucket

Mmm.. He is SO good lookin'!!  Sorry girls, he's taken!!
Photobucket

Maci and Halee on the tube.  Halee rocked the tube!  She didn't get off the entire time(except for when her and Jaxin got flipped out)!!  Their faces in all of these pictures make me laugh!
Photobucket


Photobucket

Jaxin and Halee's turn...
Photobucket

Check out Jaxin's face! To funny!
Photobucket

The driver... Wyatt.

Last Tuesday we were off to Arizona!  Jaxin's birthday was on Saturday and I had the birthday girl so I had to get her home! Ü  Grandma and Kernan decided to run through the sprinklers one day...  Whatever ya gotta do to stay cool down there, ya gotta do!!

Drying off...
Photobucket

Grandpa noticed Kernan had grass all over his legs so he had to spray them off before he went in the house, Kernan started yelling at him telling him to STOP then all the sudden he'd say (calmly) "Oh, it's warm!"  So he was fine with getting sprayed all over!  It was to funny!
Photobucket

So Jaxin thought her birthday party was on Saturday, her actual birthday.  But we decided to change it to Thursday so that her best friend would be able to make it.  I guess she had a family reunion over the weekend so she wouldn't have been able to be there...  So it was my job to get the birthday girl out of the house for the afternoon and then get her back!  So we headed out to run some errands, it was pretty easy to get Jaxin out of the house.  She likes to hang with me, so when I asked her if she wanted to come, of course she did! Ü   When we got home this was what the front yard looked liked...  She still didn't put it together!
Photobucket

The two girls... Halee got to come to AZ with us!  It was so fun to have her along!  Jaxin and her had a blast!  So here they are showing me their purchases from our afternoon of shopping...
Photobucket

SURPRISE!! 
And surprised she was!!  She had NO clue!  It was great!
Photobucket

The decor... I took a bunch of pictures, but this post is way to picture loaded so you'll have to be my friend on facebook to see them all!

Mom had a bunch of fun games for them to play!  Put the M on the M&M was a fun one!
Photobucket

Kernan wanted to take some pictures of me... This one was not to bad!
Photobucket

Do you think he was enjoying his cupcake?!
Photobucket

This picture is so funny!  Kernan eating his cupcake in the background, the slice of cake that's already missing... so funny!!  Happy Birthday Jaxin!!  I can't believe you're 12 and at Girls Camp as I type this!!  CrAzY!!  I feel old...
Photobucket

So we got home on Sunday night... and went out to the lake last night again!
Photobucket


Photobucket

Maci swimming with the boys...
Photobucket


Brian wanted to make sure I got a picture of him surfing without the rope!  That's the point of surfing behind the boat is to do it without the rope!  Look at that face... Yes, I'm married to a goof!!
Photobucket

Eric had to get his picture without the rope too...  He crashed right after!
Photobucket

So that's what we've been up to the last 3 weeks...  We're headed out for more fun Monday!!  Disneyland here we come!!  I can't wait!  I haven't even told Kernan yet, we all know I'd be getting asked every minute of the day if we're leaving yet!  So I'll wait until Monday morning! lol!
Hope you're all having as much fun so far with your summer break as we are!!

ps- I put the word verification on my blog comments... I've gotten like 50 spam comments on just ONE particular post of mine from last summer and I'm tired of them, so word verification is needed!  Sorry!
