South Dakota Comes to Visit Us!!

South Dakota Comes to Visit Us!!

The kids having fun jumping on the bed.

At the Zoo for free admission & free tickets for the summer.

It was super rainy, but it was fun.

Charlotte bundled up with the umbrella keeping her dry.

Charly learning how to walk.

Making some crafts.

Doesn't she look like Lisa & Kirsti? Or is it the other way around.

I'm not sure if Henry had undies on here.

Us girls also went to the ballet "The Nutcracker" with the free tickets I got.

So much fun. I miss dancing :(

Meyer family Christmas visit

They look alike!

We had lots of fun at Bouncetown.

Apple Hill 2008

Apple Hill 2008

Kevin & Tessa asleep on the way. So cute. 

I'm not sure if Nate understood that the food was for the Geese. 

Juliette looking so cute & as if she's grown a foot in a month. 

Pumpkins all around. I'm glad we grew our own this year. 

Enjoying apple fritters & staying out of the rain. 

We had a ton of fun even though it was raining off & on. Grant slid & got his bum all muddy. Nathan ate food off the ground, a gallon of cider was $6.95 (ouch), cute crafts, & we only spent money on apples & caramel covered apples. Yummy. I'm gonna start saving up for next time to get a Rocky Road apple. Those suckers are $10, but oh so good!!

Santa Clara

While in Santa Clara, Jared & Jennifer took the kids to the park. It was an interesting walk with 6 kids, but they had fun. The swings were also busy, everyone wanted to go down the slide with Juliette, Nathan drank dirty sand water (he has a drinking problem), & no one wanted to walk back home through the crowds of birds. Yuck.

Grant's 3rd

We did a Pirate theme. Kids dressed up, swam, played a treasure game, cake, the works. I am so NOT doing this every year for every kid. But everyone had fun!!

Pebble Beach Aug 2008

Pebble Beach Aug 2008

The kids playing in the sand!! How cute is this?

Nathan buried in Jared 's hole.

We went to pebble beach while in Carmel. The Morrris family & Cedusky's were with us. It was way overcast, but my shoulders still got burnt. Dolphins were swimming back & forth along the beach. There were 7 or 8 of them just playing around in the water with a scubba diver. Our pictures didn't really catch how fun it is was to watch them. We also went to the aquarium which the kids totally got a kick out of. Thanks to Majo Spencer we all got in for free!! Since Tawney never reads blogs, I can say she was playing around on her chair with Tim & broke it! I wish I would have gotten a video of it. Too much fun.

Grant N Nate swimming

My swimmers

I finally blew up the pool the Martini's left when they moved far far away from us. The boys had so much fun playing in the water. 

I left the water running the whole time, I know, not saving anything. But they loved playing with the hose!

So now we have a light green circle in our yard where the pool was.
