The many adventures of us

Okay, fair warning, this one is going to be long. But a lot has been going on the last few weeks! Things got off to a bang when Kelsie and Cameron flew in almost 3 weeks ago and the whole family was able to be in the temple together when Bobby went through for his first time. It was really a sweet experience to have us all there together for the first time. Then of course we went to the traditional Claim Jumper's Lunch afterward and ate more food than is healthy, but it was totally worth it ;)
That next Tuesday we took Family pictures in the back yard. Here are a few samples.





We spent that next week grocery shopping and packing for our beach trip. Thursday however Andi decided to get tonsillitis again! That makes 6 times since January thank you very much. And just to restate, the second our insurance kicks in I'm having those buggers yanked out. So we got off to a bit of a rocky start, and we did manage to have 6 of the 12 people at the beach house sick with one flu or another, but other than that we had a great time. We stayed in a house about a block from the beach in Morro Bay. We walked too and form the water everyday whenever we wanted, checked out the shops and just had a nice relaxing week/break from the heat. Andi loved the water, well, mostly she loved throwing wet sand at people, but her first real beach experience was a good one.





This is one of those quarter rides along the shops in Morro. She loved it, but kicked and screamed like crazy when we took her out of it.



Andi and little Walter are starting to get along pretty well now. He's more mobile and can fight back now and I think she recognizes that. It was fun watching them play all week. This is them at the Atascadero Zoo. It was only 20 min from the house and though not very big, it was perfect for the little ones, and Kelsie who all of a sudden seems to be a big zoo fan.



And this is at a little restaurant we ate at that had really good french dip sandwiches.


Once we got back in to town the following Saturday Thad and I finally got to sign papers for our house so we are going to get to move in this week! Finally! SO once again I'll probably be MIA for a while, but I'll be back with pictures of our house painting progress.
