Fun at the Pool and the Fair!

While our families were here we made good use out of the hotel pool.

Here's Christy with all the little girls in the hot tub.

That's Landon flying through the air between Bobby and Jeff!

The boys had fun throwing the kids around until some lady told on them and they got in trouble.

Jared and Holly stayed by us for an extra day so we decided to go to the Ventura County Fair.

Look at these cute farmers :)

Landon and Lizzie were brave and decided to try Mutton Bustin'! There is video of it at the bottom of this post.

Kids love to play in sand

Milking the cow

You can't go to the fair and not eat cotton candy!!

Landon did awesome climbing the rock wall

Stacia told me she wanted to go bungee jumping an I freaked out! Then she showed me what she meant so I let her do it and she had a lot of fun. There is a trampoline under her :)

The little girls went for a helicopter ride

It was awesome to have family here! We had a great time and miss you all already!!

Landon's Baptism

Landon was baptized on Aug. 6th and it was a wonderful day. He had so much love and support from his family and friends. We are so happy with him and the person he is growing up to be. We love you Landon and feel very blessed to have you in our family!

All ready to go!

Lauren waiting for the big event.

Stacia wore her baptism dress and was very excited for Landon.

Aunt Holly playing beautiful music for us.

Thank you to everyone who came to share this special day with Landon!

We had a little luncheon after.

After lunch we went to the beach and then swimming at the hotel pool. We all had a great time.

When we got home everyone just hung out and enjoyed being together. Grandma Lemke played a game of Monopoly with the kiddos :)

A good part of the night was spent playing on Christy's phone. Phones can do so many silly things these days :)

It was a special day and I am so thankful for my family and for the Gospel in my life.

Cute Summer Haircuts

Milli and Lauren both got new haircuts for the Summer. They are cute and I don't have to fight with tangles!!

Utah Trip

The kids and I went to Utah for almost three weeks. We packed in as much fun as could, which was a lot! We spent the first few days hanging out and relaxing at Grandma's house. The kids had fun blowing bubbles with Amanda's kids.

Lauren LOVES Corbin! She wanted to hold him constantly and when he wasn't with us she would beg me to go get him. She also started pretending that her baby doll was Corbin, it was so cute.

Amanda put together a cabin trip for us and of course we had a great time. there is so much to do there, we love it!

The little girls all cozy watching a movie :)

Rachel and Austin brought their dog Molly and Stacia fell in love with her.

Corbin is four weeks old, it's about time he went 4 wheelin'!!

This is the view I had of the boys the whole weekend :)

Lauren had a collision with Makayla on the first night and she got this impressive black eye!

Playing in the water.

Going for a ride with Uncle Jared.

We spent a day at the Thanksgiving Point farm. The kids are seeing which animal they weigh as much as.

Playing in jail

They love feeding the animals

Of course we had to ride the ponies!

Grandma Lemke and a llama

Milli and her cow friend Millie :)

We went on a wagon ride and Lauren said "look mom no hands" haha she's cute :)

Jeff and Christy came down on the 4th of July and we took the kids to the children's garden at Thanksgiving Point. I have never been there before and didn't know what to expect, but it was really fun the kids had a great time.

Jeff held the kids over the water spouts so they would get nice and wet :)

After the garden, we had a bar-b-que with the Johnson's. we set up a pool and slip n' slide for the kids.

Stacia and Mckenna took a break from swimming to decorate the table's with stickers.

Holly and Bryce were twinners, so cute!!

Time for a dance party and some fireworks!!

The neighbors all gather to do fireworks together it's really fun

The Johnson's

It's fun to watch Liz and Jeanie do the YMCA!!

Fun with glow sticks

Don't worry, Makayla has the matches!!

The next day was Landon's party at the Wingate's. The kids had a blast in the pool.

We stopped by the old house and the flowers are doing great

Last day with everyone. We love you guys!!

Rachel was turning 25 so we got her an awesome little cake. It has a stiletto on it, so cute :)

We had such a good time hanging out with family and friends, the only thing that could have made the trip better is if Bobby could have come with us.
