Aloha!

We're home and had a great trip to Hawaii. I'll be posting about it soon!

Afton went swimming for the first time this week. She loved it... watch the video. She kept trying to grab and drink the water. She'll have lots of chances to play in the water this summer. Starting next week I will be teaching swim classes twice a week for some of the kids in our ward... one of the classes is the parent/tot class that Afton will do with me. Should be really fun!

San Diego Temple

We stopped by the distribution center this week and then decided to walk around the temple for a few minutes. It was such a beautiful day.

Watermelon Crawl

My neighbor brought us over half of a watermelon the other day so I gave some to Afton and she loved it. Since then we've had watermelon everyday. I think our kitchen floor is permanently sticky!

Quick trip to Fres-yes

Afton and I made a trip up to Fresno last weekend. John was going through the temple for the first time and I wanted to go with him. Logan wasn't able to come because of work but he's always a really good sports about missing out on some of the fun and visits. What a nice guy. He found ways to keep himself busy... he bought a playstation 3, and got a gym pass and went everyday while we were gone. I'm proud to say he's still been going everyday and gained 7 pounds in 1 week. It's nice that it's summer now and he has a little more time to do things he wants. Anyway, our visit was a lot of fun. We got to see everyone from both sides of our family. I didn't take many pictures while I was there.... maybe 10 total. Just wasn't in a picture taking mood. So here are the few that I got from our weekend in Fres-yes.

I love just sitting out side when the suns starting to go down.

Cute girl with food all over her face. She throws the biggest fit when I try to wipe her face.

The fam there to support John

Afterwads we went to Me-n-Ed's. This pizza place has the best pizza in the world! I have tried many parlors and none even come close to how good Me-n-Ed's is! To bad it's only in the central valley!

Grandpa playing with Afton... or more like teasing her. haha She loved all the attention she got while we visited.

Mothers Day?!

Somewhere inbetween all the fun we had these last few weeks we had mothers day. We managed to not get an pictures nor did we do really anything exciting. Logan had to work and we had some friends in town that weekend so no big plans were made which actually ended up being nice. We just relaxed and went to church. I also didn't get any pictures from our weekend with the Allreds, Hollidays and Mattsons so I had to steal these from Jamie and Trevors blog.





Ryan, Heidi, Trevor, Jamie, and Kendra all came in town for the weekend. It was a lot of fun. We had one big sleep over the whole weekend. Everyone stayed at the Holidays since they have a great house big enough to fit everyone. Friday night we had a bonfire on the beach... or as Allred put it a bum fire. Apparently we didn't get enough wood to make the fire very big or to have it last very long. Then, we went home, logan finally got off work and came over and the boys like usual stayed up until 4 a.m. playing guitar hero then got up at 6 a.m. to go wakeboarding. Sadly everyone went but me (and Emily b/c she had to work)... We didn't have a baby lifejacket for Afton and it's really really cold and wet (and miserable for a tired baby) on the bay in the morning so I went home and both Afton and I went back to bed. It was really nice to get the extra bit of sleep. Saturday we BBQ-ed went to the beach and just kicked it together at the house. Then Sunday (aka mothers day) everyone headed home(back to Utah) and we hurried to try and make it to Sacrament on time and listened to Emily give a talk. It was a fun weekend with some of our favorite people. :)

When Dads not home to protect his things...

Stuff like this happens.
