House Guests

So we had our first house guests and it was great. This last week and a half was a busy one for our family. My youngest cousin got baptized, another cousin recieved his endowments in the San Diego Temple and another cousin got married. So my parents (who brought our second car and our dog down YEAH!!), sister and new brother-n-law, my other sister and her 3 boys, and my brother all came down for the weekend of festitives. It was a busy one kicking off on Thursday night (May 7). And ending on Sunday morning with a Mother's Day Brunch. After the weekend of cousin events, my family came and stayed at my house. Most just stayed the night before heading home, but my sister and her boys stay for some fun filled days. Isaac was so happy to have some other boys to play with. We took them to the Santa Barabra Zoo, and then the beach and the well loved PIRATE Park!! We had a blast. Well my sister left Wednesday morning (May 13) and our second set of house guest arrived Thursday, and we repeated the same activities along with this weekend's strawberry festivial. The beach didn't go over as well with the second set of kids, but we did have a blast at the zoo, and the festivial. I throughly enjoyed all my guests, thanks for coming, and helping me pass the time until John comes back. Now that we have an empty house again I have to get it back into shape for when John comes home this Saturday. At first I was really scared of being all by myself in a new house, in a new town for a month. But really it wasn't that bad. And hey, I better get used to it, since I get to do this over and over again for the next 5 yrs, some times for a month and some times for 6-7 months.

Hatching

I think that this was a pretty good picture considering it was on a timer

Which one do you think he looks like?

The beach... So Benjamin got water by a wave by accident, and the next thing I know he runs past me like this. (Black block added for his protection)

YUMMY!! Dirty diapers were fun for both of us for the next few days!

Hurry cover them all up

Once Noah figured out that he could leave the blanket, there was no turning back

The Pirate Park

One time he got up here and spun around so much that he fell off.
