Love these boys!

We went to see Daddy as he was working at the beach last week. The boys love playing in the sand. Soon the water will hopefully be warm enough to actually play in there too!

The kiddos "working" with Daddy on the tractor. Andy is such a good dad. It doesn't matter what he is doing, the boys are always by his side helping him. He is very patient in teaching them.

Andy's twin brother Sam and his wife aunt "meanta" were up visiting us. Sam built a big hole and the twins were shooting out of it with a shovel. little boys have such imaginations.

Watch out ladies! This kid is going to be a heart breaker!

Brayden was throwing the sand laughing hysterically! Such a fun boy with the cutest personality!

LOVE THESE BOYS TO PEICES!!!

Sea World

We went to Sea World the last day we were in California. We were all pretty exhausted but it was still fun!

The boys on Atlantis. We couldn't keep them off this ride!

The kids loved all the shows. We really had a fun vacation. Wish we could do it every year!

The beach

The beach in California was amazing! The kids loved it. Here are a few pictures!

 Carter running from the waves.

Sweet Brayden loving the water.

 The boys built this awesome tunnel. I was impressed!

 Colby   

This beach was so pretty and the scenery was beautiful. It was a little peice of heaven.

Disneyland!

We recently took a trip to California. We went the beginning of May. There were no lines. It is the perfect time of year to go. The boys were so cute. They loved every minute. The twins didn't want to go on any of the little kid rides. They went straight for anything fast or scary. They loved Tower of Terror even! 

We got to fly in an airplane. the boys were so excited! Brayden fell asleep for take off and woke up as we landed both there and back! So perfect!


Colby and Carter LOVED Pirates. Because there were no lines, we rode it several times!

It's funny how the twins loved anything fast or scary, but put Mickey in front of them and they wanted no part of that. (Notice Carter crying in the corner!)

I was told by several people I should leave Brayden home. I just couldn't do it! I am so glad I brought him. He was so good and such a joy to have there. He LOVED it!

Brayden was obsessed with Sully from Monster's Inc. We had to go buy him a big stuffed animal of him. Every time we saw him he would blow kisses and try and reach for him. so cute!

The Toy Story ride! So fun!

Andy's mom came with us. It was so nice to have her there.

And oh boy were we sooo exhausted at the end of each day. So worth it though. I think I suffered from post vacation depression when we got back! Way too much fun. It was hard to get back to real life!

Colby and Carter's prayers

These two boys are so stinkin sweet. I just love them to peices. They are the best of friends. They are always looking out for each other. Their prayers lately just crack me up. I thought I would write about what they have been saying so I can remember it.
Colby: Thank you that we could teach our friends about the gospel. Thank you for this whole town and this whole city and all the people in it. Thank you for Jesus AND Jesus Christ.
Carter: Thank you for church and it is so boring. I like my friends. I like my brothers and I love them. I like myself and I love myself. I like my toys. Help my dad to not slip and crash in the canyon.

The other day Carter had a bad rash on his whole body. I caught him up in his room all by himself saying a prayer out loud for it to go away. So sweet. Sometimes I feel like I am doing nothing right as a parent. Makes me feel like I am doing something right. Love my boys!!!!!

I have wanted to start blogging for a while now and keep putting it off. It's fun to keep up with other people and I also want it for a journal for my kiddos. As for an update on my family... we are still living up at Bear lake. Andy is a Marine Deputy on the Idaho side of the lake. Basically he drives around on a boat all day and makes sure people are following the rules. He also is over search and rescue. We LOVE living here. It is paradise. Colby and Carter will be 5 next month! Where does time go?  Brayden is 18 months and into everything.  And yes the rumors are true... I am 26 weeks pregnant with a GIRL!!!!!! Thats right i said a GIRL!!!! We are loving life! I will post recent pictures of the kids and pictures from our recent Disneyland trip soon!
