Yeah for Summer!

They built this little resevoir in our neighborhood in Herriman. There is a little wading area for the kids and the little lake below. It was pretty cold but fun to hang out on the beach and swim. We have had a great summer so far. Lots of swimming involved. Jord and I got a season pass to Classic where we go with girls from our ward. I took her down one of the waterslides and basically thought she was going to die. It knocked us down pretty good and we both ended up under water for a while. No one told me not to use the mat:( But she did love the little kiddie pool and we will be going back weekly. We've also been over to Grandma and Grandpa's house a few times to swim in their pool.

3rd of July

We went to this awesome Northern CA coast 4th of July celebration at Point Arena. We joined all the other Vietnam vets and stoners of this world. Lets just say we stuck out a little bit. It was pretty funny though. Jordyn had so much fun playing with her couisins and dancing to the awesome (not) band. The fireworks were actually pretty cool because of the fog. The whole sky would light up in that color. I've seen lots of firework shows but none like this. It was definitely an adventure.

Tide Pools

Kevin found lots of cool treasures for the kids to look at. I think this is his favorite part of Sea Ranch. Jordyn was pretty brave to a point. She would touch and then scream a little. At least we got her to touch though.

Check out the concentration. Kevin is probably trying to find if it is male or female again. We all know how to tell the difference in the sex of a crab thanks to discovery channel boy.

Little crab. A lot less scary. Kevin managed to find a pregnant one and show us her eggs. A little gross.

Sea Ranch

Kevin grew a mustache for Sea Ranch. I begged him to cut it off but he refused.

Pic with Jamie and Kelly. I am ginormous unfortunately. I hate all prego photos of me but now you have two to make fun of.

I had to get Kristen in the mix because she was missing. (Sorry Stace, not one of ya! Doesn't mean I don't love you.) She was a great help when Kevin was off tidepooling and I was huge.

I love this place

Sea Ranch photos


We went for a sunset walk the first night we got there. I just love how pretty it is. This is our 1 out of 2 days of sun that we got. Not too many sunsets this week with all the fog. But being prego I must say I enjoyed the cool.

Playing on the beach. Notice the fog.

A couple hours later and it is a beautiful day. I love Kevin at the beach because he gets bored sitting which means that a lot of the time he is entertaining the children. The best part was when he made a lasso out of sea weed and started to chase everyone around lassoing (sp?) them. He even managed to get Jamies dog a few times. Unfortunately he also made a couple kids cry including mine. But it wouldn't be Kevin until he makes a baby cry right?

Get together

Kev and I went home to Sacto for our Sea Ranch trip and were able to get together with everyone before we left. We had a really fun night of hanging, swimming, and BBQing. We have all the kids together except Owen and Carter. It's a lot different hanging out these days but still a lot of fun. We did manage to bust out some old videos of Laura dancing:)

Fathers Day

I guess I haven't blogged in a while since we are going back to Fathers Day. Jordyn made Kevin this King Dad crown (all by herself of course). I made him wear it to our family party. Anyways, Kevin is a great dad and Jordyn is so lucky to have him. Thanks for all you do Shmev.
