Still Summin' Up Summer

 Summer is coming to an end...

 More pictures from our California trip. Uncle Ed!

 Disneyland had some of this,

 and some of that.

 The long awaited Tower of Terror moment! Honey went on it no hesitation!

 This was one of the cutest moments. Ruby loved the feeling of the warm sand on her belly and scooted all around like this. Maria is her Little Mommy (the name of her favorite book) and is SO good at following Ruby around, taking care of her and playing with her.

 Channy, this one's for you!

 G-ma passing out the school supplies!

 Ah yes, the dreaded fall backwards during Sunday dinner in a flimsy chair. It gets someone different every week!!

 So, this summer we took care of 5 monarch eggs. I only killed 2, and one disappeared but came back to us by pure miracle and prayer, (remember Buggy's shirt and testimony?)  I LOVED it. What a beautiful and amazing process to watch. Here is just a peek:

 

Lydia went through a little transformation herself!

 

 Summer soccer with sprinklers, Ollie and Gigs. Nuttin betta.

 I think that this was one of my favorite days on the lake of all time. No joke.We were the only boat on the lake with perfect water and weather. The kids were happy and we listened to music, swam and took G-ma on her first wild tube ride :)

 Still can't believe this water.

Oldies, But Goodies

  Claire, Jane, Lyd and Bug years ago. Movie night!

 V and Bo-Bunny with matching pull-ups on :)

 The Deer Hunt is this weekend. I love this picture!

 Second place baby!!

 Spring Break at the Gilbert Arizona temple. Beautiful!

 Max was really about to eat this toast he buttered himself.

 We miss you Kolten and Channy!

 Daniel W. Jones!

 Ah, the KAA. Buggy even got General Bunting to sign it!

 This is a video of max I took a picture of.... He climbed up to get Malloy's shoes when we weren't looking.

        Guess who?

Soccer, Swammin and Seal Beach

Timmy Howard and crew. One of the greatest world cup games ever played.

 

Honey in Nemrow's pool, in her clothes, at a reception, following the example of jumping in the pool just like the bride and groom. The best!

 

Scary. Ruby at the same reception receiving her party favor.... a new goldfish.

 

To the pioneer parade we go!

 

Some kids were more excited than others.

 

Bud and Chanelle, Emily wanted me to tell you that she misses you!

 

we miss you! (Maria typed this :)

Rafting down the Provo river with Page and Vance's family on the 24th of July! The kids did awesome. We slept outside and I made Jesse throw a rock into the trees in the middle of the night because I heard something sneaking up on us :)

 

Nice bike Biz!

 

Mutts season has finally ended. Dolly will miss visiting with Johnson there in the background.

 

Pedro Pan

 

 

Amis summer fun

 Ruby is completely addicted to my phone. It drives me crazy. I have about 150 of these selfies on my phone.

The sea witch!

Maria loves painting herself and hair with chalk.

A crazy hike in the heat. Swig after :)

California 2014! Boys went to a Dodger game, we went to California Adventure with Lauren and 3 million other people, ate burritos at Seal Beach (our fav), swam at Turtle Bay with cousins Carson, Chase, Shayne, Nixon and Jordyn, and celebrated Aunt Arleen and Dayna's b-days!

 

Soarin' over California

The Clark, Swan and Arnold kiddies.
