San Diego, Here we come!


Jackson and Luke. Someday we can use this picture for blackmail purposes.


Jackson hearts Confusius


This is where Jackson slept each night. Kidding!


We tricked Jackson into thinking a pool with no water is fun. It's much safer that way.


Allie with her cousins Luke and Kyle. The kids heart the trampoline and so do the moms! You can zip them inside and know that they are contained for a few moments.


Since we live so close to Vegas, we thought it would be a good idea to teach the kids early how to play blackjack. Tanner taught the Bekah and Rachel how to play with loose change. It was funny to hear them talking about "poker faces" and "taking a chance." They sounded like mini-adults.


Grandma and the girls.


Grandpa and the babies.

The kids and I took a road trip to San Diego this past week. The Idaho branch of the family was in town and since we hadn't seen them for quite a long time, I drove down so the kids could see their cousins. We had fun swimming, jumping, eating, guitar heroing, fighting (a little) and having a great time! I meant to take many more pictures than I acually did. I was too busy making sure that Jackson didn't fall down the stairs, off the trampoline, into the pool, off the dining room table, run out into the street, eat dog food etc. that I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked. Thanks to Jill for letting us crash at her house. Thanks to Lance for taking one for the team and staying behind to care for the other 90 children we are responsible for in the building we manage. I'm so glad we were able to get away and join the family for a change.
