1st day of 3rd grade

3 weeks of playtime

Jay got to ride in Grandpas car.
We spent a day visiting the Childrens Museum.
The favorite section for all the boys was Castle. They all loved dressing up and putting on plays with Grandma.

We celebrated Bin's Birthday at the pool.

We were able to have cake and ice cream with Great Grandma for her birthday too.
My siblings and spouses all got together for dinner one night. Lucky for me my baby brother and sister-in-law came with my niece that I hadn't met yet. I missed John extra that night.

We got all 10 grandkids together at the zoo. Grandma loved every second of it. We enjoyed a hospital carnival, and visiting my grandma (another great-grandma)
This is only a small glimpse of the many things we did. Thanks to everyone that made our vacation so much fun. I enjoyed all the visits I had with family and friends. I was good to go back and see everyone but I have to say it is good to be home.
This last picture shows how worn Jakub was one night. He fell to sleep on my moms tile floor.

One more thing..... to any of you out in the blogging world that haven't heard yet. #4 will be joining our family in February. We are super excited.

Jay is in Idaho!

Jay has been having none stop fun this last week with Grandma and Grandpa. My mom said he was so tired on Sunday that he slept during Sacrament meeting.
Jay helped Grandpa retire a flag and put up a new one. He remembered what he learned at scout camp the week before and told Grandpa how to fold the flag, and what to do with it.



Jay got a good lesson in how to move pipe. I might have to ship him to Idaho every summer to work with Grandpa.

Grandpa doesn't just work he loves to play. Jay loved the Jeep ride with G and G.
He enjoyed the sand box, which he turned into a mud box.
Swimming.
Jay went with Grandma and a some cousins in Toy Story 3D.
They even took a few minutes to visit Great Grandma. You are a lucky boy JAY! We miss you!

Pay Day

WE LOVE HAVING FAMILY VISIT! Friday we spent the day in San Francisco.

We ate at Bubba Gumps. John of course at a chicken sandwich because he is not a fish eater.
I loved getting to know our nephew...he was only a month old when we saw him last.


That night G & G S made it to our house and gave Jay a gift. He is very excited to hang up his new pictures in his room.

My dad has always told me about the pay days that come to parents. Saturday was one of my pay days. Jay was Baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

What a blessing to have his father baptize him, 2 grandpas witness, and 3 of his uncles join in for the confirmation. It was a BEAUTIFUL day! Both grandma's gave good talks and G & G M gave Jay a set of Scriptures.

When we got back to our place my mom was the camera lady for the M family photos. I think they turned out SO CUTE!

THANKS to everyone that made an effort to join us for these important event in Jay's life.
WE LOVE YOU ALL!

six flags

We all loved six flags. It was perfect weather in the high 60's. The lines were short and the boys for the most part behaved.
I convinced J to go on the roller-coaster with me. He was not very happy about it and once we started he was freaking out. John and I were hoping to ride a few big rides with J but after that it was kids rides only.

Swings

There were so many kids rides and they really were fun.

The shows were so worth going to, we saw the killer whale, the dophins, the sea lions, and the tiger show.

The highlight of the day was the shark exhibit. We went around the through the tank 5 times.
