For our reunion for my side of the family this summer we met up at Disneyland! One of my favorite places in the world!!  Although not everyone was able to make it (including my husband, who we missed dearly!), we had a pretty good showing.  It was SO FUN to meet up with my brother and his family who we hadn't seen a couple of years.  Their newest little girl was a year old and we hadn't met her yet!  Colton and Kyle LOVED hang in' out with their two oldest boy, McKay and Logan...

Bryan absolutely HATES rollercoasters, so he did not join us on my favorite - the Tower of Terror!

We are sitting on the left, middle row - Colton, Morgan, Kyle, and me!

Love these cute kids of mine!




Me and my dad!


Kyle with McKay and Logan...LOVIN' Cars Land!


This was our family's first time on the Radiator Springs Racers ride, and it is a standout new favorite!




I love how different and funny each of our faces are in this picture.  Bryan (in the back) cracks me up the most.  He's just trying to hold it together!  For a kids who isn't afraid of much, he REALLY hates drops like this!



Autopia is one of Kyle's favorite rides.  What kids doesn't like driving his own car!  I rode with him since he couldn't reach the pedals...




Thank goodness by brother-in-law, Matt, is such a good sport. I HATE the teacups.  They've always made me so sick.  But Matt just jumped right in and volunteered to take Kyle.  They sure love their Uncle Matt.  He is SO MUCH FUN!



Me, my mom, and sister-in-law, Maria.  I LOVE riding in the first row on this ride.  Totally different experience!






After a day at Disneyland, and a day at California Adventures, we hit the beach to relax!  My brother-in-law, Matt, with Colton...

June happenings

We started the summer out with Kyle going to Cub Scout Day Camp.  The boys always LOVE this.  The heat is INTENSE here in Phoenix, but each station you stop at, they literally SOAK you.  They keep you wet all day so you won't get hot.  The favorite part of day camp is always the BB Guns and Archery.  They also have a pool there, so the swimming is a blast too.  There are lots of games, and they boys pass off a TON of stuff.





I got this shot of Kyle tying his tie as we were walking into Church one Sunday...made me chuckle it was so cute.  He's getting so grown up!
I found this note Kyle had written to himself.  Mark was teaching him how to tie his own tie, and he took notes because he wanted to be able to remember.  I thought that was SO CUTE!

Our house is Grand Central Station for our kid's friends.  They love hanging out in the pool, and we love having them!

LOVE this shot!  I snuck it from inside the house when I saw Bryan and Kyle taking a breather from yard work together.  Kyle totally looks up to his big brother, and Bryan is such a great example to him!

We had fun making stuff for Mark for Father's Day!  We gave him a hammock...

but his favorite part is always all the homemade stuff...
