Oceanside 2013

 

 

Churchy

 

For once my kids are not the nudies. 

 Lindi enjoyed her naps in the swing all bundled up.

 We only eat fish deep fried and in taco form. Which is still a big step for us.

 Mafia! 

 Sea world

 

Right before we hit Yuma on the drive up I realized I forgot to pack swimsuits for me:/ Not the best situation for a 7 day beach vacation! Luckily Target helped me out!

 

 

 

Phil's! We are really good at photo bombing:)

Goodman summer vacation

 

 

 

We went to Showlow back in July with the Goodman clan! EVERYBODY was there. I think 29 all together. It was a blast! We stayed in a huge cabin and the kids roamed as they pleased and kept themselves entertained playing with cousins. Key to a perfect vacation in my book. I didn't take a single picture while we were up there:/ So I bummed off some pictures from my sis n laws:)

 

We enjoyed a fun family jeopardy game for FHE, celebrated summer birthdays. Played lots of late night games with the grown ups. Mafia was the game of choice. Ate lots of good food, 5 star dining the whole week! Trips to the playground, Grammy camp where all the grand kids wore their tie dye shirts. A trip to the bowling ally, taking over a Mexican restaurant  for dinner one night. Go karts, shooting guns and swimming. It was a great week with family!!!

 

Grammy camp day

This was a really fun night activity. We were split up into groups. Each group picked a Disney movie out of a hat and a Disney song. When it was your groups turn you went into the back room and pulled costumes out of the dress up box to go with the movie and song you drew. You then came out and performed your movie for everybody else to guess.

So, here you have the cast from Pocahontas. From left to right: Indian chief, Capt Smith, Pocahontas, 2 little indian boys and Grandmother Willow:)

FHE Jeopardy

 

Summer birthdays. Poor Bryant. The lone boy.

 

Late night grown up games while kids were snoozing.

 Standard bedtime was 1am!

 Grammy camp games (out of order)

Sometimes I think Lindi looks like we slapped a bow on top of Rusty's head.

1st day of 1st grade and a Shining Star!

 

 

Lane is a big 1st grader!

Whoop whoop.

His teacher's name is Ms. Gonzales and she seems really nice!

 

Rusty gets to go to Shining Star preschool!

Miss Lori and Miss Reagan are also awesome.

He is going to love his first year of preschool and feeling like a big kid!

 



This is his preschool scrapbook page for star of the week.

 



Swim Team/Lessons

 

 

Lane swam on his first swim team.

He was a natural.

It was fun having his buddy Mason from school on his team.

 

Can you tell blue is his favorite color?!

 

 Rusty loved his swimming lessons with Carolyn.

 

 Lindi gets to be in swim lessons next year so she enjoyed observing!

Beginning of Summer

 

We all know that summer is my all time favorite.

It seems like the second school lets out, Summer activities take place instantly!

That is the way I like it.

 

We did some temple work with all 7 of Casey's siblings and spouses.

A first time occasion!

 

Memorial day we went to the Phoenix cemetery with the Udall cousins.

To be honest I can never remember which relatives are buried there but it is tradition.



 

We like to eat corn dogs for lunch, a lot.
They have their cooling method mastered.

 

 

Grammy camp returned.

Probably for the last time!

How she does it I don't know.

 

 Orange you glad it's Summer?!

The theme for this year.

They each came home with a back pack full of orange goodies.

Lindi sported lots of pink onesies.



Goggle obsession.

Wore these for 3 hours.

Which caused major raccoon indentations.



Skinny dipping for those 5 months and younger:)

 AAAAND a dreaded birthday.

30.

 I didn't have to turn old alone though.

It's a twin perk!

Marcie's birthday was the following day:)
