Monster Costume

Josh's imagination has totally cracked me up lately. He came up with this all on his own - it's his "monster costume" - walking around yelling roar the whole time. He even wanted to bring it outside with him, which I told him was a little too tricky as the clothes drying rack is definitely part of the costume.

Beach Days

We have loved living so close to the beach, and we have great friends that have gone with us on pretty much a weekly basis for the last 2 years:) I thought they deserved a few pictures. However, I don't usually bring my camera, so most of the picture are of Autumn because her and Josh were being hilarious one day, but just know that if you're not in the pictures you're still included in the memories, although it was slightly more relaxing when we were all pregnant and could just hang out while our husbands surfed instead of chasing crazy toddlers, but anyways....

Josh has recently taken up boogie boarding with his Dad. They're pretty good although we do need to get him a wet suit.
Autumn and Josh playing in their swimming pool.

Josh just kept chasing Autumn around doing whatever she was doing, running, laying in the sand you name it.

John and Justin digging the swimming pool:)

I know this has nothing to do with the beach - but I never posted pictures of my quilts and aren't the awesome!!!???

Crazy Month!

So I realize I haven't posted any new pictures in awhile. This month, my family came to visit, we went to Utah, three days after we got back I went to St. George while Justin was at Scout Camp and then Jessie came to visit. It made the month go amazingly fast and was so fun to spend so much time with family! Here's some pictures of our adventures. I took most of them so they aren't as good of quality as usual:)

Grandpa Stan teaching the third generation to ride. Josh looks not happy - but he really loved the horses. He kept saying, "Horse is walking mommy!"
While Jessie was here we went down town to the fashion district. I had bought a couple of head bands and then we got Josh spiderman stickers to keep him entertained. At this moment he was also dancing to the music coming from the store - I know he looks classy. It was even better when he wouldn't stay in his stroller and kept lining up behind the cracks in the side walk, yelling, "Ready, set, go." Then running as fast as he could - usually into someone else. I don't have any other pictures of while Jessie was here, but we had a blast. It's so fun to have sisters, and she fulfilled a dream of mine, by riding the Ferris Wheel on Santa Monica Pier with me. She might have regretted the decision when I freaked out at the top - but whatever:) Jessie - Justin had the same reaction when we rode it for his birthday a week later:)
Josh was a huge fan of Gram's new toy room. Especially the trains! I was a fan of him going upstairs and disappearing for 20 minutes at a time. I know 20 minutes doesn't sound like a lot, but when you have a 2-year - old it can be heaven:)
Dad riding VERY SLOWLY on the 4-wheeler with Josh - while I tried not to have a heart-attack. I definitely think we'll buy helmets for those things! Especially since Josh figured out all you have to do is move the button to make it go forward.
Ok Grandpa's cut out but it was almost a 4 generation shot - if you include me behind the camera - I just like how you can see how pretty it is around the corral.


Telling Daddy-O about all his adventures. He talked to him for 10 minutes straight that night! It was so cute! He loved staying with Grams, Grandpa, Adam, and Jessie, but he missed his Daddy. When I asked him if he wanted to go home and see Daddy. He thought really hard then said, "No, Daddy come Grams". He was quite pleased with himself. Thanks family for loving us and showing us such a wonderful relaxing time!
