Disneyland and Fun with the Family in June

In the beginning of June, Jileen, Cameron, Ashlin, Addison, and Grammy came to CA for a vacation. Jileen and Cameron wanted to take the girls to Disneyland for their first time and we were lucky to go and share the excitement with them at the happiest place on earth. We had a wonderful time. All the girls got to start the morning out with breakfast with the princesses. The girls dressed up in their tinker bell outfits and were eager to meet all of their favorite princesses. Jileen, Grammy and I joined the fun. The girls loved it and the expressions on their faces made it all worth it. The rest of the day was filled with never ending rides and laughter. All ready for Toy Story Mania. With only half the day down, the little ones were pooped. "Are they twins?" was the question of the day for us.

Ashlin was ecstatic to meet Minnie Mouse. She met many of the Disney characters, along with the princesses, and had them sign her autograph book.




Disneyland 2010!

The day after Disneyland was a relaxing day and these two took advantage of it.

Still our clown of the house.
Jaxson eager to be just like his big brothers.
Cute!
Never too big to teach and never too little to learn. Priceless for mommy to see.


We all enjoyed a nice day visiting with Grandma and Grandpa up in the mountains.

All pooped out from all of the fun.

Havasu Fun!

A couple of weeks ago, we had the pleasure of going to Havasu with some of our great friends. With two boats and a lake side home, 4 families played and laughed for a few days. We had a blast and memories were created that will last forever.

OK everyone, ready to see how much fun we had???

The boys ready to hit it on the ski boat.

Not a party boat, but Daddy Daycare, as we called it.

Brooke got up right away and showed us she still has it in her like when she was 16.

Wendy showing her skills on the board.

Cameron and Landon loved riding in the boat.


So fun!


The little guys loved playing in the water, even if it was just coming out of a hole in a slip n slide.


Just chillin!

Devon and Landon were busting up laughing. The boys had a blast tubing.

Cameron's first time tubing and he loved it.


Landon, Scott, Landon and Devon tubing.

Hi Cameron!


Awesome!

Just chillin again!


Devon getting ready to try wake boarding.


Devon did great and got pretty close to getting up.

What the life! Cameron and Landon taking advantage of the fun boat ride.

Brayden's turn to attempt wake boarding.

Brayden got up! He looked so cute out there. What a stud!

Landon ready to give it a try.

Almost Landon! Proud of you for trying.

I did it! I may not have looked graceful, but I withstood the choppy conditions and wake boarded. So fun!

Josh attempting to wake board, but not having much luck.


Not quite, but almost! Maybe next time. Josh said it was the perfect reason to have to come back here again.

Scott and Bryan had to show him up and make him feel worse. Next time guys, watch out!
Jaxson sure loved the boat rides, especially if he had Scott's water.
Luke, Benjamin, and Brayden -Buds Forever!

They loved tubing!
Madison, Wendy and Kelly getting swung around the boat.
Wade, Cameron, and Caleb are getting a little daring out there. Fun!
Landon, Wade, Caleb, and Devon having a blast.
Alright girls, here we go! We get the award for flying the highest.
Wendy, me, and Brooke went flying and fast over some waves just before we flew off.
Me, Chrissy and Wendy
Guess we got a little too much air and waves on that turn! Whoohoo... then ouch! Headaches as a result but it was worth it, especially just for this picture.
Now its the guys turn to see what its like!

Hold on Josh, Scott and Bryan... Wendy is driving!
Oh no!
Wipeout!


All packed up and ready to go back home. We (all 8 adults and 19 kids) had a blast. It was definitely a trip to remember and one we hope to repeat again. Thanks to the Silver's and Williams' for sharing their toys and home with us.
