Procrastonators

Sorry everybody we have been very slacky about posting our lives, so here is a lot of catch up, enjoy.

Lagoon at its best!!

The Bumper cars were a big hit, (no pun intended) here is a little video of Ian giving Greyson a ride. Greyson seems to be a little upset that he couldn't drive his own car.

Here is what a long day at Lagoon will do to your kids.

Lagoon!!

Here are all the kids ready for the day at Lagoon! Sunglasses, sun block, shorts, and energy for the day, all in check.
Here is the nice water display that Lagoon has added in to help keep you cool before you go to the beach. The kids were very entertained by it.
Ian and I went on this small version of The Rocket, Ian had a blast and laughed the whole time.
Can't get through without going on the Merry-go-round.
At dinner time Ian lucked out and got one of his favorite meals, corn on the cob. Jacobi on his right was amazed how fast he ate the thing.

Summer Vacation

Last week we went on a vacation with the Molinas to Utah. We went camping at Cherry Hill and also went to Lagoon. Cherry Hill is one of the funnest camp grounds around, they have an awesome water park that is fun for adults and also very kid friendly. They have some great water slides and nice camp spots for trailers or tents. Here is Ian and his cousin Braxton setting up their first tent together, with a little help.
Ian is always so focused when he is working on something.
They sure did a good job, and they are proud of it.
Later that night the kids had a good time playing with the old fishing game. It was a little funny because the kids were getting a little angry when they had a hard time catching the fish.

Ian is such a good big brother!

Ian is such a good helper around the house and is always so excited to see little babies anytime he gets around them(I think he is ready for a little sister). The other day David was getting ready to change Greyson's diaper and Ian asked if he could do it, so here it is.

Greyson was such a good sport about it too.

He helped all the way to the end.

Proud Boys

Here is Greyson proud to be wearing mommy's hat. Greyson is definatley a hat boy, there are times when he wakes up in the morning and spots his hat, so he puts it on and wears it all day long and will have a fit if you try to take it from him.

Ian is very proud of this three foot long gummy snake that his dad found for him. He just can't wait to sink his teeth into it.

4th of July (after the parade)

After the parade we went over to the Molina's house for a barbecue, to play in the water, and of course some volleyball. The kids really enjoyed the big blow up slide that Grandma Delia bought. The adults all had some great games of volleyball and the food that Grandpa Alvino cooked was delicious.

Greyson was too small to play on the big slide himself so he settled for the little pool and slide, and he played all day in that pool.

Here is Greyson modeling a tan hat with a blue stripe to match his sandles and partially viewable swim diaper, also sporting the orange Hawaiian styled swim trunks. You can look for this pose in the next swimsuit calendar.(can you see the intensity on his face)

The good old fashion Rupert 4th of July Parade

Here is all the family all geared up for the parade. It was pretty warm but there was a little bit of a breeze that helped keep it bearable. Here you can also see baby Jordyn at her first annual parade (aunt Becky's hands).
The kids all did very good on the candy gathering, they were aggressive all by themselves, and they even shared when someone didn't get one. They all had a good time getting candy and watching the parade.

Someone it the parade became very popular by handing out popsicles to the crowd, and the kids were able to round up some of them.

Dirkies Lake

A while back we decided to try and beat the heat by going to Dirkies Lake for a Saturday outing. It was crowded and hot but tons of fun. The kids had a good time and really enjoyed the sand/mud and also liked watching all the little fish in the water.
Ian even got to try his hands on what started to be a sand castle but ended up to be a mess of mud because he added a little too much water.
Greyson just played in the sand and wasn't really sure he liked it all that much.
Here is Ian and his younger cousin Braxton, showing off their sand tools.
Here is what a nice day on the lake did for Greyson's legs (our boys tan really well).
