Pics I found on my camera

Just a few pics I found hanging out on my camera when I uploaded my photos!

 

 

I must have been at work this day when playing in the rain and mud was ok.  Those buns are too cute to not show off though.

This is a somewhat nightly occurrence at dinner. He hadn't even taken a bite but was sure it was something he couldn't eat. After taking a bite Josh actually discovered he kind of liked it....



Josh's Birthday

A month has passed and I have not posted about sweet Joshua's 6th Birthday! Josh is a good kid, he has a sweet smile and even though he is pretty small in size he has a big personality. For his birthday he wanted to go spend the weekend at the resort we usually go to in August. I readily accepted since it meant fun for the whole family and not much planning.

 

His day started with presents in the morning and a half day at school.

Josh is always ready to pose for the camera and loved swimming all night and all day!

Mini golf is another one of our favorite things to do at the resort.

And it can't be a true birthday weekend without some jumping on the bed and running around!

We ended his birthday night with a birthday cookie and a candle to blow out.

Science Center

I have lots of pictures from the summer that never made it on to my blog.  We had a few more fun activities before school started.

We took our cousins Rylee and Taryn to the Arizona Science Center and enjoyed a day of playing.

 

 



Hanging out with Grandma Connie

While Michael was away in Minnesota, we drove up north and hung out with Grandma Connie. We had a good time and the kids were spoiled like usual.

The kids played games and won prizes!

Even in Prescott Valley it was very hot playing mini golf outside.

Grandpa Barnum's Funeral

Last month Grandpa Barnum passed away.  While we are sad to not have him around anymore, we are happy that he is free of his body and able to be with Grandma now.  He lived a good long life and we are sure we will see him again. We made the drive up to St.George for the funeral services and to celebrate Grandpa.  It was fun to squeeze in an extra trip and hang out with family.

Michael keeping the kids entertained during the viewing.

Grandkids and Great-Grandkids sent off balloons in memory of Grandpa.  The kids all liked it except our 2 years olds who were not happy about letting go of their balloons.

Boat Ride and Military Museum

To break up our beach activities we also went on a boat ride and walked through the USS Midway Museum.

Through the museum the boys found answers to questions to become a junior pilot and in the end they received captain wings to wear on their shirt.

This is a random sword swallower we came across while walking around downtown San Diego.  Crazy but it was a real sword that he swallowed.

More beach fun!

The sea lions in the cove were so fun to watch!

She loved shoveling in the sand.

There was also a fun park next to our hotel.
