Better with a Buddy

Shopping is always better when you do it with a friend, and an iPad...

Daddy's Day

Oops...just noticed I never submitted this one...it's an oldie, but a goodie :-)

Apparently Brad has never searched the Internet for a candy message because he thought this was the Cat's Meow!
It said, "Dad, we were going to give you a "WHOPPING" "100 GRAND" for Father's Day, but the money slipped through our "BUTTERFINGERS".  We didn't have an "EXTRA" "WHATCHAMACALLIT" to sell, and it wasn't "PAYDAY".  We didn't think a pet "KITKAT" a trip to New "YORK" or an "ORBIT" around the "MILKY WAY" would be appropriate.  We do want to wish you "MOUNDS" of "ALMOND JOY" as you eat this card.  We hope it doesn't make you "ROLO"ver and get sick!  If it dies, we promise not to "SNICKER".

Love, your favorite "AIRHEADS" (Jenni), "AIRHEADS" (Tyler), "AIRHEADS" (Kaili) and "AIRHEADS" (Sina)

I happened to be fasting this morning so I did not have the privilege of helping everyone devour the candy :-(  Brad and the kids did a marvelous job at that!  It was pretty much taken care of by the time we got back from church!

New Sunnys

 The good thing about being the only child is that you are the only child!  A single word comes to mind...Spoiled!  So of course I had to buy her the cute little glasses she asked for at the store...let's just say, I'm a sucker!  But really, who could be cuter?
Matchy, Matchy

She loved them so much, she couldn't go to sleep without them...this did make for some really funny mark on her forehead later in the day :-)

This Girl...

 She comes up with some cre-a-tive ideas!  I found her here one afternoon.  She didn't even splash water out of the sink!

Watered the pineapple...

Cleaned the dishes...

And bathed herself, or played in the pool, depending on how you thought about it :-)


Things to Do...

Now that everyone has gone back to their own houses...Sina is finding new ways to entertain herself.  This was something she came up with, all by herself :-)

Grandmas are the Best!

 One more fancy meal with Grandma...Coffee Cake!  Yum!
Two Fabulous Chefs!

Three Little Mexican Jumping Beans!

 Except non of them are Mexican, or Beans...but they CAN jump!!



Is there a 4th of July on Europe?

 Off to celebrate!  Scooting to a friend's house down the road!

Check out this hair!


Here is our one picture during Mom's trip :-)

 Finally!  Sunset, Dark, Fireworks!


All in all...a great, sparkly night!

Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, Sayonara, Goodbye!

The kids are off!  (Actually, they have technically been off for about 2 weeks now, I'm just slow at getting my pictures done!)

They've gone with Grandma and Grandpa Bryson to the Ranch!  Down to Cedar City they have gone...visiting cousins, (real) Aunties and Uncles, catching frogs and fish, watching hummingbirds and eagles, avoiding cow pies and mosqitoes, eating ice cream and steak!  And hopefully squeezing in some reading and math :-)

They'll have zip lines, tree forts, four wheelers, exploring, hiking, and of course, COUSINS!  (you can't ever have too many of those!)
Tyler and Reed, about 6 years ago!

They don't get cell or Internet service up on the ranch so we've only been able to talk with them a few times, but it sounds like they are being the great little angels they are for Grandma and Grandpa Bryson (Thankfully!)

We are happy for their adventures and can't wait to see them again.

Kaili and Dad at Straight Canyon
 last time we visited, about 2 years ago!

And, yes...the house is cleaner, the laundry is (much!) less, and Sina (who stayed with us) is doing perfectly fine without the others :-)  Although we have become really lax at bedtime!

Rain, Rain...Come Again!

 Rain in Waikoloa?  Rain two times in one week, in Waikoloa!?!  Yup!  That's just what happened!


 Which, of course means, grab your snugly clothes and go play in the water!
 Roof corners give off the most water, because no one believes in rain gutters around here...no need!   It only rains 5 times a year :-)

Cheese (y)

Someone got a hold of the camera again :-)


Today's The Day!

July 1st, 2012
Moroni, Braeden and Tyler
So many people came to support them! 
Look at all those leis!



The Grandmas!

And, of course, lots of family pictures!!




 He said the leis were too heavy...he could barely hold all of them up with one hand :-)


Family!

It's always nice to have family in town!!  The Grandmas did lots of fun stuff with the kids, although, no one had a camera the majority of the time...
