Happy 4th and a fun day today:)

We have just one full day left with Christina and Corban:( We have had a lot of fun! Yesterday we ended up just staying home for the holiday. We busted out boxes and started the fun of packing. The boys thought packing all the books was so exciting! It sure does help to have a third adult around to keep the baby happy. We ended the day with a yummy rib bbq and for dessert had grilled peaches with vanilla bean ice cream and a basalmic reduction. Can we say YUM?? Christina and I both had some glow things so the boys got to bust those out and turned into glow in the dark ninjas for a good hour or so. All in all a good time and we are glad we did not make the drive to see fireworks that were a total bust....

We had planned to go to Sea World today but just were not feeling it. So we spent the morning here hanging out and then went to Sea Port Village and walked around, rode the carousel (Luke had his first ride!!) and got ice cream cones. Those cones were MONSTERS and for THREE CONES it was $23.00! I told the boys they better be thankful!

Cemetaries, New house and Lake Skinner!

Yesterday was quite the day. We decided we wanted to take Christina and Corban to see our (fingers crossed) new house. We decided since we were going up that way we would visit our grandparents' graves and take the kids to a Lake nearby the house. Here the boys are saying hi to their great grandparents and leaving flowers.

After the cemetery we went to the house and measured windows. I can't wait! Things all seem to be falling into place. After the house we drove to Lake Skinner which is only about 6 miles away. This place was awesome!! They have camping and you can fish but best of all they have this HUGE splash pad. The boys were in heaven! Hours of running through water, climbing a rock wall and playing at a park. Definitely a place I think we will be going back to...often.

Beach fun!

My sister and Corban are visiting us this week and we have been busy! (busy having fun that is!) We met up with Valerie and the girls the other day and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at the beach. I am so in love with our tent. It makes for one happy baby out of the sun and wind.

You know when you take a picture and you just capture something exact. This is how I feel about this picture about Nathan. I love it!
