What a fun weekend! Part IV: Family Pics

We had family pictures taken today. No preview yet but we are excited and looking forward to have them ready sometime this week. Can't wait!

What a fun weekend! Part III: Family Reunion

On Saturday we went to the Fackrell family reunion (Granpa Howell's mother's side) in Idaho. We missed the las 3 reunions maybe because I was pregnant, but we are back in the action. We drove both ways the same day. It was fun to see lots of people we haven't seen for a long time plus meet new ones.

What a fun weekend! Part II: Neighborhood's BBQ

On Friday we had our neighborhood BBQ. Kaylee really enjoyed the puppet performance. Kaysee got wet with her bff-Ethan Namba & Kayden Lund- plus she performed at the BBQ, the audio on the video is low so we transcibed her part , Dante slept most of the time and Alondra found a new friend. Grandpa Howell also performed (2nd video)

A joke that I really like was from our friend Ben: Why did Tigger look in the toilet? Looking for pooh! hahhahaha

Slideshow from the BBQ

Video 1: Kaysee's performance: A story about Elvis Presley

"Once there was this boy with a big, puffy hair who loved meatloaf a whole lot. He put the left overs in his pillow case. That night a buzzered flew in the window, he ate all the meatloaf, trashed the whole house. Do you know who that boy was? (say no) Elvis. True story

Video 2: Granpa what tribe are you from?

Whoa! it can be any of those!

What a fun weekend! Part I: Cousins came over

On Thursday, we visited with Aubrey, Annika, Landon & Luke. The kids had fun playing in the backyard swingging and with Rosella.

He truly made us come 2gether because "We are the world"! and we sang and danced

That was an emotional, beautiful service for the king of pop Michael Jackson

My favorite performance was from John Mayer and Brooke Shields' remarks about Michael Jackson

Happy 4th!!!!!

Downtown taught me something amazing

Today we went to downtown and had some fun going around, taking pics and running after Kaysee. It was hot and I was tired before we went, I felt like falling asleep the whole way there and on the way back. But then something amazing happened to me, I was enlightened: "put the kids to rest when you get home" and I said it aloud! Yeah, I told them! and thats what I did. Man! almost 6 years and I didn't know I can have at least 40 minutes a day of quiet time until TODAY! Well, let me tell you, now I know and I'm going to use it!

Some shots from today:

St. George

Last weekend we wento to St George and had a great time. We went to temple square and then walk to the tabernacle ( I pushed the double stroller with Alondra & Dante, Kam pushed Kaylee's wheel-chair and Kaysee walked) I took amazing pictures of us and the girls playing around the temple grounds, getting wet on the sprinkles, walking to the tabernacle, and my happy fingers deleted them!!!!! I know, I have done it before so this time I promise myself NOT to delete any picture from the camara, instead I will wait until I download the pictures to the computer and then delete the ones I don't want to keep.

Here is the route we took on our walk (marked on red):

Our garden, a sweet-beautiful girl, a handsome baby and an airplane

Our garden is growing and we can't wait to eat from it.

Kaysee being a joy, Dante enjoying the afternoon outside in the backyard and some airplanes passing by.
