Grass Valley Trip

Gammie and I and the kids all took a trip to Grass Valley to see Aunt Sandy and Grandma Jean.

Well Grandma Jean was recovering from a cold and sleeping at the time we arrived; so we sat and socialize with Aunt Sandy.

Sandy invited us to her house for lunch and some playtime.

Each of the girls loved the tree swing.

Another great photo of the wonderful day that we had with Sandy.

I had to take a photo of this sculpture. Sandy is a master at making them. She has them all over her backyard and front yard.

The sad moment had come, to say Good-Bye.

Well OK, say Good-Bye to the chickens.

Campbell Concert

On Saturday, the girls came down stairs to perform a concert from a song that they made up. Hours of work went into it. And of course their proud brother wanted to get into the mix.

Favorite FHE Game

Twister Hop Scotch

Its a great game for the whole family. The game is played by spinning the wheel and the pointer tells you what to do on what color. For example: Dance on Yellow, Sing on Red. Even Porter likes to walk through the hoops and follow the girls.

Sarahism

I thought this photo would be appreciate for this Sarahism. Sarah and Lydia and I were shopping and while we walking to the stores, Sarah said, " I just cant stand all this hotness!"

Lydiaism

Our family was on our way to church, and Sarah and McKenzie were on the verge of arguing and Lydia said, "Why don't we all just SHUT UP!" Scott and I were laughing so hard.

Happy 30th Birthday Ben

There were 30 people ready to jump up like a Jack in the Box and scream Surprise, Happy Birthday, to Ben on Saturday.

Whitney did a great job getting all the family and friends together for Ben's 30th birthday party at Mom's and Dad's house. Ben didn't suspect a thing. The secret was not telling my kids for one.

Uncle Spencer and Aunt Jen came from Reno. It is always great seeing them. Spencer came to Tracy before the birthday party and brought the kids.

Spencer let McKenzie hold Leila. She was and still is on cloud nine! It was so nice of Spencer to include her on the present for Ben. She loved making the certificate. Spencer also let her ride in his car to Lodi with them. She was treated to a soda and a candy bar which made the ride that more incredible. She felt grown up and special.

Ben's Step-father, Bob did the BBQing. Mouth-watering chicken! He scored major points with my mom by helping out.

The boys are so cute. Noah and Porter are two months apart.

Porter was being shy and Mommy knows exactly what do to change that.

Where is your Sick Did a Sick Did a Toes.......

And by putting his toes up to his nose, he gets hysterical.

My girls love Uncle Ben. They were so excited about Ben's party it was like it was their party.

Scott had the best idea ever; going to the store and have the kids pick two things each for Ben. It was a blast watching what they picked out.
Ben looks great in Scott's gift!

Lydia was so proud of her gift. She had a hard time letting go for us to pay for it; let alone giving it to Ben. I asked Ben, if he knew who gave it to him, Ben said Lydia. He was right.

OK, what are the odds of us going to a store and Sarah finding the exact parrot that Ben and Whitney brought to her birthday party. I couldn't believe my eyes when she showed me what she had found. She too wanted that present of herself; I think to remind her of the parrots on her birthday.

Porter gave Uncle Ben a gun that shouts out balls.

Ben in all his GLORY.

Spencer took me aside and showed me what Porter and Noah were doing. They are getting ice out of the bucket and throwing it on the ground and saying, "Cold."

*Just adorable*

It literally take us 15 minutes to leave once we get to the car at my parents house. The kids have a blast being chased by Whitney and Ben. And Papa, the human swing, for Porter. He used to do that with Whitney and I; and we loved it just as much as Porter does now.
