Somewhat Quick Catch-up...

I know, I know, it's been over two months since my last post.  But, we've been busy!  So, here's what we've been up to...

Jaden finished 1st grade, and won the "Citizen of the Year" award for his class (among other special awards).  We are extremely proud of our little citizen:)  Here he is being awarded by his principal and Mrs. Wilson (whom his school is named after).

After Jaden was released from his last day of school, we headed out of town for a long weekend in Yuma and San Diego.  We visited Legoland for the first time and had a blast.

We also had a great day attending the Spirit West Coast concert festival where Stellar Kart was playing.  

We visited the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, and ate at our favorite Italian food restaurant downtown.

We finally were able to check out the new park in Yuma.  The kids had fun exploring, and the weather was perfect:) 

 

The new Slip & Slide:

It's all fun and games, until 'someone' won't stop teasing!!

 

 

 

 

Play time with Grandma Noel and Karis.

 

 

 

 

JUNE 28, 2008

We took an action-packed day trip up to the Tonto Natural Bridge near Payson with some friends.  The kids were great hikers!

FOURTH OF JULY 2008!

For the Fourth of July we headed up to Grandma & Papaw's house in Prescott. The boys all went miniature golfing; Karis loved her new red dress, Grandma's hydrangeas, and the cantaloupe; all the cousins adored watering the flowers; and we saw an amazing rainbow.

 

CAMPING -- JULY 2008

Boy, did we have a great camping weekend!  The weather was perfect for spending all our time outside playing, fishing, hiking, and eating!  Everyone wanted a turn holding baby Samuel (and Bradon?).  John was the only one that had any luck catching fish:)  

...see?!  We've been busy!!
