Summer fun and lots of family!! = )

We had a wonderful summer!! We had a great visit from Carson's brother Brandon, his wife Shiela and their adorable 9 children. We went to Sea World, the beach, the San Diego Mormon Battalion and Disneyland with them! They have 2 girls that are Maddi's age and she was in HEAVEN!!

Carson, Brandon and their oldest daughter Madalyn couldn't stop boogie boarding! They were in there for hours!!

Joseph, Laynee and Meredith!

This was the Mormon Battalion. Outside you can play with the bricks they used to make the original buildings of San Diego, pan for gold, pump water and wash clothes on a washboard.

Ok, here's a picture of me and my belly! Baby girl #3 and still no name!! Aagh!

Here we are at Disneyland. Captain EO's ride. It's 3D and they're so cute!

Then in July we had a big reunion on my mom's side. It was so fun to have a reunion here in California and meet so much family here I didn't know about. : )

I didn't get to do most of the activities because I was 7 months pregnant! But the rest of the family did shooting, archery and a zip cord. They had so much fun!

My mom and Laynee!

If you look closely you'll see Madison in heels. We only brought sandals and were unaware of the "closed toed" shoe rule, so she had to wear her Sunday shoes to do archery! The employees said they've never seen this before!

Laynee got an "owie" on her knee so daddy was carrying her.

This is Madison and my cousin Tyler.

This is Carson and my dad after they went on the zip cord. They went two at a time. I was so jealous!!

Here's Madison with my mom. They're so cute!

This is my uncle Russ and Aunt Karen. Laynee was instant friends with aunt Karen to every one's dismay. She didn't warm up to "just anyone" but went to her almost instantly!

After the reunion my parents stayed for a week and we played at the beach and had lots of fun!

Then Carson's cousin Rick came to visit from Las Vegas. He brought his two oldest kids. One of which is a girl Emma who is Maddi's age. They were joined at the hip!! They had so much fun at the beach and boogie boarding.

Laynee and Michael

Emma and Maddi buried Michael

Maddi and Emma boogie boarding!

Madison loves to jump rope and they had a jump rope camp this summer. It was 5 days a week for 3 hours in the mornings. Laynee was so sad she couldn't go. Maddi loved it though. She learned all kinds of new tricks and skills. She's really quite good now. This is the only still shot I got. I took mostly video! Oops!
