Vacation Bible School

Someday, all my pictures will be in focus. For now, not so much. And I grabbed a couple from Irene! Thank you!

This week the boys are in Vacation Bible School with a few friends. I am so thrilled they are excited to have Jesus be a part of their lives. Each day they come home and tell me about their activities, their crafts, the dancing they did, etc. I truly believe this is just the beginning for them and their faith!

Disneyland

Last Friday night we headed over to Disneyland to meet up with the Metzgers. It was a great night and not so much a great night. It was fun to have no agenda and to just roam around and watch the parade. It was also fun to ride the new Ariel ride and let the kids run around in the wilderness slide area at California Adventure. What wasn't so fun was Kai. He was not a happy camper. He was very clingy and wanted to be carried everywhere; including in the lines. That kiddo weighs 44 pounds and after my wrist surgery this past year it cannot support his weight. We made it back to the tram by 9:28 only to begin our RUN to the car as we had to beat the fireworks that go off at 9:30. Luke does not like fireworks. We made it......with his door closed even! Saturday morning Kai woke up saying both his ears hurt so off to Kaiser we went. I was thinking swimmer's ear for obvious reasons, but it actually was an ear infection. Antibiotics have cured all!

Playing at Kayden's

Last week I was thankful that Ali kept the boys while I ran and got my hair done. She even grabbed a slip and slide for them to play on. My boys had a wonderful time over there. They loved it so much that no one even took a nap for her! Poor Ali! Thank you again.

Bakersfield with our cousins!

Today we took off with my parents to head out to Bakersfield to play with our cousins and to celebrate the first baby of the family. I can't believe Austin is 12! He is a wonderful little boy (okay he is still little to me!) and a great role model for the rest of the gang! Luke was pretty much glued to Lauren's side the whole day while Kai was on his older cousin Ethan's tails. We visited for a bit, had a great meal, and headed over to the water park to cool off. All in all a wonderful day!

Our visit to Scottsdale, AZ.

Getting ready to leave to Flagstaff

We went to a pizza place there called Organ Pizza. It kind of felt like a lodge inside. It had a large organ that played our requests. It was amazing what he could do.

Thing 1 & Thing 2 in the NAU bookstore causing havok!

 See what I mean........

 We stopped by Eryn's 1st apartment and helped her just a little bit on painting her room.

 Kai asking Papa for some help with his DS.

 As you see the photos below you can tell who has mastered saying, "Cheese!"

 This was what Kai was doing while we were waiting for our food, which was fine with me considering he had a minimal nap and melt downs were imminent!
