Happy Fourth of July!

We had a wonderful Fourth of July!  We were so happy Nathan and his family came down to celebrate with us.  Genevieve was a little sick, so we missed out on fireworks, but all in all it was pretty great!  The boys rode in the ward bike parade, we flew bikes at the park, and my parent's took the boys to watch fireworks at the lake.

Nathan's Family got a new dog, Spook.  He's adorable... so many animals.

Plus I got to catch a few shots of Baby Emmy and she's gorgeous.

Boy's Birthday Party (9&6)

I promised the boys we would have a birthday party for them before we moved.  Which seemed like an okay idea 3 months before the move, but on the week before the party it was a little stressful.  But, we had it, and it was wonderful, and I'm glad we did.  :)

Happy birthday boys!!!!

Preschool Graduation II

This Past week Sterling had his second preschool graduation!  (Sterling's first preschool graduation)  He was so lucky to be with Miss Kris for two years.  He's made so much progress over the last 2 years and has really blossomed in the last 5 months.  We feel confident that he'll do awesome in Kindergarten!

Here's Sterling on his first day of preschool in the fall of 2014...

And here he is at his preschool graduations....

Miss Kris is the first Vegas friend that we've really had to say goodbye to.  It's hard to believe that Monday after lunch, we won't pack up and head out to preschool.  It's hard to believe that anything is going to change at all when, really everything is about to change a lot.  It was very sad.  We love you Miss Kris, thank you for being such a special part of our family's life here in Vegas.

Waching at California

Check out "Waching at Sea Side" from 2010 when the Wachs took us to the beach!

We took a weekend trip with our friends, the Wachs, without our kids to California last month and I finally downloaded some of the pictures off my phone so I can blog about it!  :)

We spent Friday at Six Flags, which is always a great time!  The new virtual reality ride is pretty unreal, but it made Brandon motion sick. :(

Friday and Saturday night we stayed the night at my parent's condo in Oceanside.  We spent Saturday in La Jolla.  Could La Jolla be any more beautiful?

The boys *had* to go boogoie boarding, even if it was freezing!  (look close at Dave's face here)

 We also ate a lot of great food, went to Nathan's comedy show, sat in the hot tub, and enjoyed good company.  Thanks to my parents, our babysitter, and Wachs for making a spectacular vacation!
