Gymnastics

Lea and Jonah have started gymnastics class this summer and they absolutely love it! It has been very fun to watch them. They are great!

Visit from Aunt Candy and Uncle Jimmy

 My Aunt Candy and Uncle Jimmy and their three boys Josh, Danny, and Ben came from Indiana to visit their California family! It was fun to spend time with them. We did many fun activities with them (Jelly Belly Factory, swimming, puppet show at the library, and mini golf) but being 7 1/2 months pregnant and taking care of four kids (we were taking care of Derek Olsen while his parents were house hunting in Texas) I didn't have the energy to take pictures of everything. I did get some cute ones of everyone playing in the pool.

 Jonah liked getting thrown by Uncle Jimmy.

 Lea had fun on the diving board.

Jonah expecially loved having more boys to play with and two days after they had left, Jonah randomly exclaimed at breakfast, "I miss Aunt Candy". It was so sweet!

Fathers Day Weekend

 The Saturday before Fathers Day we enjoyed a beautiful 87 degree day at the beach!

 Jonah could play in the sand all day! He found several sand crabs and they kept him occupied for much of the day. He loves creatures and animals. He played with a friendly dog (with supervision of its owner) for a good half hour too.

 Our good friends the Olsens are moving to Texas in a few weeks. We will miss them, but we brought two of their boys with us to the beach while Brent and Anissa were house hunting. We have Derek for most of the week and we have been having fun with him.

 Micah was a happy kid. He played in the sand and the water and just loved being at the beach.

 Lea played a lot in the water and then she would lay out to dry and warm up before going back in again.

 Daddy set up a nice little tent for shade.

 Lea and Braden had a lot of fun boogie boarding!

 Daniel never has trouble finding bikini clad women to play with him.   :)  He had a blast playing beach volleyball on Fathers Day weekend!

 Daniel played well and had lots of great hits!

 After church on Sunday Daniels pregnant wife spent 5 hours in the kitchen preparing a scrumptious Fathers day meal. Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, steamed veggies, and of course a fabulous chocolate mud cake with vanilla ice cream. Because of the turkey occupying the oven I made the cake in the crock pot! Who knew!?! It was delicious!

 After dinner Daddy and the kids played games and had a good time.

Happy Fathers Day!
