Summer Break

I got to go home for almost 4 weeks between quarters in July and August. It was amazing. Here are some of the highlights I took pictures of...

Toy Story 3 3D:

The whole 3D part was a little tripy. I don't know how I feel about it yet. But I loved seeing these kids!!
We went up to Tahoe for a weekend. The boys went scuba diving and we went to the beach. Little miss Makayla wouldn't let any sand get on her and her food.

..and than there is Evan...

Such a great grandma to get in that water.

Lake Tahoe is beautiful, but is freezing.

...Evan didn't care...

Cheesy smiles

Makayla is so adorable

...My beautiful sister studying...

Evan found this log in the water and decided he wanted it for his castle fort.

Lets just say...it weighed A LOT!

He is pretty strong

We all got a pedicure before the beach day

The Girls went out to dinner. I love spending time with them!

I wish I could do this all the time.

I missed Makayla's 7th birthday while I was in school. I asked her if she wanted a present or to go on a date when I came home. She picked the date. :)

Mom went to Olive Garden (Makayla's pick) with us.

Then I took Makayla to Color Me Mine. It is a place where you can go and paint pottery.

They fire burn it after you are all done.

Makayla is just so artistic....I knew she would love this!

We ended with yogurt and LOTS of toppings

ECLIPSE came OUT!! Of course I needed to go see it with Tami and Mom. It was a blast. I found these shirts at Target.

Mom likes Jake...I can't blame her when he looks like that...HOT!

...Mommy and me...

...Tami and Mom...

So I worked outside a lot when I was home. I just missed the California Sun so much...

Oops :) My Bad

Tami and I went to the mall when I was there. The kids really enjoyed the fountain. Evan was soaked in a couple of minutes. Jarom and I from when we went out to lunch with Mom See as I have made Makayla tons of birthday cakes and I was home for Evan's birthday...

...I made him is 4th Birthday Cake...

His theme was Mario Brothers I just love this boy...he is just so sweet

He was worn out by the end of the night...

...and yes, that is a black-eye from him running into the refrigerator in the morning...

Makayla and I had a lot of sleep overs while I was there.

She is just growing up so fast!

Tami and I went to see Eclipse again.

This was outside the theatre. Aw!

I really enjoyed going home! The is nothing I love more than my family and being with them. I really needed this break school and to hang out with them. There are a lot of changes happening...sometimes I just want to freeze time. Time seems so slow day-by-day, but when I look back...time has flown so fast. Makayla is 7 which = 2nd Grade. Evan is 4! I have been graduated from high school for 3 years. I graduate nursing school in a year. Bryan and Ashley are moving to California. Tami and Weston are buying a house. I am moving in with Jarom and Ryan. My friends are getting married or having kids. And the biggest...missionaries seem young!! But I know with all these changes comes new opportunities and life experiences!
