Aquarium

I'm back. I am such a procrastinater. So our family went to the Aquarium of the Pacific for the first time, thanks Violet for the free tickets! We had a great time!

Ashlyn, a little nervous to turn her back on the scubadiver.

Proud Mama

Thank you Jill, Maia, and Holly. I had a lot of fun looking at that website and love my new background.
I was so busy catching up on all of June Sunday night that I forgot to mention what a proud mama I am. Ashlyn gave her first talk in Primary on Sunday and it went really well. The topic was temples. She was so excited and spoke into the mic and made it through the whole thing. It was a great opportunity for us to teach her about temples all week long too. I can't believe how big she is getting! I wish I could have frezze framed that moment and kept it forever.

A Little Help?

So who can help me spice up my blog. I've been looking at everyone's blog and they are so dang cute. Any advice for backgrounds especially. I thought I was pretty good with my computer and now that I am actually trying to use it, I realize that I am pretty behind. And I realize that it is pretty addicting, it is almost 12:30...Night.

It's a ...

So this is marathon posting for me. That last one did not turn out exactly right, I'm learning!
Okay so the most exciting post in my blog yet!!! June 13th we went in for our ultrasound (yes, I am already 20 weeks along, even though no one thinks I look preganant).
It was a great day for Kris and I and Ashlyn and Jaren. We were all together in the room to find out that we are expecting a GIRL. Ashlyn didn't seemed to surprised, that's what she said it was all along. We are thrilled and excited and now October seems to far away :)

Ahhh, the Beach!

So after Disneyland fell through for Darren and Wendy I was pretty excited that we were all still planning on going to the beach, that is until Marla's family had a last minute party to attend for Josh (Happy 30th Josh) and Rylan ended up pretty sick with an infection, but hey we were not ready to call it off. So minus many family members we were still gonna go. Unfortunately, Teagan got sick on the way down there. We still managed to have a great time, except Teagan who probably doesn't even remember going.

Kris hopes like father, like son

Jaren's hero! (and mine)

Cousins

So I am not a real consistent blogger, but at least once a month is better than nothing. Let me go back to the beginning of June. We had such a great time with Darren & Wendy visiting. Ashlyn was so excited to play with Teagan and Rylan. We do not get to visit with them too much because they live in Texas, so we look forward to seeing them when we can!

Jaren enjoyed paling around with Uncle Darren

Ashlyn on the sidelines observing all the commotion in the little spa Parker was not willing to let go of the floaty for fear that one of his cousins will snatch it up, which they would have!
