Water fun and San Diego Temple

So labor day weekend we went to Temecula. To visit with friends and to go to Disneyland for the first time the next week. We got to stay with a (sort of) old roomate of mine from college and her family. It was so fun. I love when you haven't seen someone for years and it seems as if no time has gone by! We got to go swimming in her in-laws pool, amazing. Then Sunday we went to the San Diego Temple. We thought it would be good to show the kids Heavenly Father castle before we showed them Sleeping Beauty's castle. We had so much fun with the Slussers that I got no pictures! Too much talking and playing. They were so kind to us, so thank you Slussers for letting us invade. My new fav. picture of all time!

Daddy and his girls.

Look what happy children all holding hands.

Look quick or you wont see it!

My three!

That's how good a time we had!

Crabbing

So In August Jonathan, Pappy and Jeff took the boys crabbing. Great day for all. They got a bunch of "Customers". Enjoyed pulling them in and good times as just boys. The crabbing crew.

Long walk home. After a fun Day!

Santa Cruz and S.F.

So after my cousin's wedding we got to hang out the next couple of days as sisters. Lots of fun! Saturday even though it was cloudy we all went to the beach. Then the next week we went into San Francisco. So great to spend time as sisters. Worth all the years of fighting over clothes and bathroom time, to get my best friends! All five!
With Daddio.

So the current was bad that day so we let the kids play in the river running into the ocean.

Sand in your face! And diaper.

We made Mike and Anthony come along. So fun to have them with us.

More sea lions. I am surprised we were able to stay so long with so bad a smell. What we do for kids!

My favorite picture of the day!
