Trying to catch up this blog in 1 post!

I decided it would be better to just sum up our summer and get on with life so I can feel caught up with blogging life. So here is our summer in a shortened condensed version...at least some of the highlights...

Lexi and Luke thought they were pretty big stuff driving Lexi's bug around the yard.

Shelby LOVES slides!
Some fun at the park waiting to pick Sheldon up from baseball practice!Summer Bike Rides
All the kids love going on bike rides...

CAMP OUTS

L & L just crack me up. This is what they did when I asked them to look at me,
HID BEHIND A TREE!

Parades

During one of the parade's we went to Lexi had no desire to watch floats so she just found herself a little spot to call her own. She sat back here and ate chips and candy and drank pop and was completely content to just be.

4th of JULY

Panters
On 1 of our trips to the Panters, ok probably our only trip, I got these cute pictures of Lexi and Luke.

Heidi and I...what a couple of wierdos! She just smiled so funny every time I took a picture!
The girls did a little dress up thing for us. How cute are they?!!


I was lucky enough to have Clint around to help me so Lexi and Luke could both go down the water slide!
Luke became Clint's little buddy and anytime he could, he took off for the water slide!



Fair Time

Always wonder where where they get the KKK sheep!

The kids were totally mesmerized by the baby goats!

Okay I think that's enough for 1 post...maybe I'll get the rest wrapped up in the next one!

DISNEYLAND!!!

Man I am sure slow at this blogging stuff...guess I'll let the pictures do most of the talking on this one!

A little background for the Disneyland fun we had. Sheldon LOVED every ride they had, especially California Screaming and was lucky enough to go on each ride back to back most of the time.

Shelby was completely distraught about riding any of the rides and made a deal with me that she would only go on 5 rides but they had to be rides I picked. So the 1st day we were at Disneyland she screamed every time I led her on a ride. What a pain, really not any fun for anyone. So trying to be a good mom I backed completely off and let her decide for herself what she wanted to go on. We had a break between day 1 and day 2 at Disneyland and when we went back Shelby went on EVERY SINGLE ride, except California Screaming due to it "being shut down".

Lexi and Luke loved being there for all the adventure and were such good sports to sit out so many rides...they actually rode the Winnie the Pooh ride for a record 12 times in a row and loved it every time!

We had such a blast!!

Shelby Not enjoying that her mom keeps dragging her on rides

Shelby finally thinking the rides are AWESOME!

San Diego Temple

This is what Eternal Families Are Made Of!!

Although we weren't able to fit in a session at the temple we did get the chance to go walk around the beautiful grounds and enjoy all the serenity there. What a beautiful and peaceful place to be! The kids even got their own personal walk through by an incredible couple that works there.
