summer fun

well, things have been happening so fast around here that it is hard to remember what we've done. to start, i have some pretty funny pictures of jaxson's birthday party. he turned 3 recently and his party was at a place called scooters jungle. it is awesome. mostly bounce houses, a huge inflatable slide, tons of fun for kids and adults. (too bad my toe was in such bad shape... i couldn't do anything fun!) well, here are some pictures to enjoy and some videos.



here are bry, grace, and raegs in the ball room. they had a ton of fun throwing those little bouncy balls all over the place and at each other. raegan looks so funny with her little goggles on!






in the picture of gracie going down the slide, she is turning sideways. she was so small that she couldn't keep herself straight! she had a blast, as did raegan.

well, this next picture is what we found in the kitchen right before we left to go to the party!


silly raegs! i guess she was still hungry

well, we have been trying to lay low with my toe and stuff, so we haven't been doing too much stuff, but last saturday, pam, dan, hannah, sarah, and their friend haley came down from las vegas to go to the beach. we got there early, got a fire pit, and prepared for a fun beach day. hannah and sarah loved boogie boarding! brooke and tami met us for a few hours and we had fun with all the kids. in these pictures, gracie is like dancing around. it was so funny. pam was taking lots of pictures! we, of course forgot to take any with our camera!





we are heading to go to the beach again tomorrow, so hopefully we will take some pictures and put them up... brooke and tami, as well as mike and amber will be going, so it should be a blast!

then, on monday we will be going to maryland to see rachel and danny for a week! we are so excited and can't wait to see them. we will have lots to share when we return!

oh, ok, i have the funniest story to share. so, last night we were getting ready to go out to eat. bry had put raegan in her carseat and i was putting grace in hers... well, all of the sudden there is this massively loud buzzing around my head... i freaked out when i saw this huge (and i mean huge, like the size of a fun size candy bar huge.... ok, maybe a little smaller, but not much) bug... like the iridescent beetles (bryan calls them june bugs). well, i threw myself in the car and scooted along the floor to the other door of the van and bryan pulled me out... and the bug was gone. so, we're driving to the california fish grill and all of the sudden we hear the massively loud buzzing again! the bug is in the car and then there is the blood curdling scream from grace. i swear we have never heard her scream so loud. then raegan starts flipping out. of course, i was freaked too, so we rolled down the windows, but unfortunately, we were at a stop light... so everyone around us with their windows down could hear us screaming and see us trying to find the bug. i'm sure the sight was hilarious. eventually, the bug flew out and we were safe, but grace was pretty shaken, she was so jumpy. and poor raegs didn't even know what was going on, she just new that gracie was scared stiff!
