Jayne loved the new chickens! And she loves running around my parents house/property like a wild girl. I know I loved it too!
Ryan finishing up his huge dinner from his favorite restaurant, Souplantation, where my parents always take them when their visiting. Ryan eats as much as an adult and he's free! But I think if they ever catch a glimpse of how much he really does eat there, they might change that policy for him.
Ryan loves playing in the yard there. That's all he wants to do until he collapses for his nap or to go to bed. Love it!
In the water at the park in Vegas. Jayne and my mom running through the water!
The kids danced and danced!

We lined it with a coordinating fabric and added two pockets. The material is a thicker twill that should withstand some major carrying. I love my new summer bag!
Pouring the marinade over the chicken and put in fridge.
Taking out of the fridge after a few hours.
Putting on the Grill.
Perfect summer dinner and hardly any mess. I added white rice, corn, and some rolls.
Another fun week and our first week of summer! We got back from my parents Monday night and then the week just flew by. We hit the beach with friends Wed. and the pool with friends the 3 other days! I think you can say, we're officially in summer vacation mode (not that it's all that different from normal, but hey, we're playing along :-) Here's a few pics :-) Hope you had a wonderful week and got out in the beautiful sun!
Doesn't it look like we're in Hawaii?! I can pretend right! We went to the Montage beach this week. Very nice sand, shower, and parking. We'll be back.
All Ryan wanted to do was eat the entire time...in my chair. No surprises here! He did have fun playing with his new Thomas the Train sand toys too.
Lunch at the pool one of the days. We love our pool!
We had to babysit tonight, Friday night, for our babysitting coop group. We babysit one night, 8 kids total (our two, plus 3 other couples with 2 kids) then we get 3 of the following nights out and we all trade. We LOVE it! The kids had a blast! These were the "girls" having a picnic. They went from room to room having picnics and dressing up like princesses. The boys were outside playing ball. Exhausting, but so worth it! :-) And the kids have so much fun. They look forward to Fridays as much as we do!
A party at Leanna's new house to celebrate her 30th Bday! We can NOT be that old. How did that happen! Now she's got me thinking of what I'm going to do for mine in a few months...
Running a 5K with my parents, sister (with the Vista Stake). Thankfully my dad pushed my double jogger, cause it was all on these dirt trails around these lakes and some parts where near impossible to push the wheels through the sand and some straight up hills! We all got a great work out and my mom and I did a little extra.
My Sister, Taryn's, dance show. That's her in the front, second person from the left. Perfect smile and super skinny :-) My kids loved the show. Ryan clapped. Jayne told me, "That was wonderful."
My Mom and I sewing the top of her quilt together!! Yeah, we got it done! Next up, my grandma's quilt for her bday!
Going out to lunch to celebrate my Grandpa's 75th Birthday! We also had a big party on Sunday for him after church.
I also got all the fabric to start my custom order for this red baby bedding set! I'm doing the bumpers and bed skirt. I love these reds!
And I got this really fun fabric to start another custom blanket order. It's going to be all baby blue and chocolate brown. This fun dot minky, I think is a good combo. Now, gotta find a cool pattern to pull it all together!
Salad Ingredients:
FHE Topic is Temples. We're going to talk more about what goes on inside. Here's a great link(click here) with pictures, talks, etc. There's also some great stuff in the Friend, including this little temple template that you cut out and put together and it has little cards that go inside that talk about preparing yourself to go to the temple. Very cute.
Another fun week!! Monday we hit Disneyland again for the last time until school goes back into session in September. It was sooooo crowded already! But the kids had fun on the couple rides we went on. Ryan and I got a lot of time together as Jayne had a special extended (by 1 hr) preschool. I took him to the merry-go-round, pet shop and out to lunch. He LOVED it and so did I! We went to LA and Jayne got to see one of her best friends, Annalisa, for her bday. We had a wonderful time getting to see our dear friends and have to plan another trip when we can see even more of our Burbank Friends that we miss dearly! Jayne had her last day of preschool on Thursday! We have loved her school and her teacher. She will miss them all this summer, but we're going to have lots of fun! And today, Friday, we have been visiting with my family down in Vista! We've seen lots of friends and family, done all sorts of fun things already and it's only day 1. We're going to be here for the weekend and few days since Jayne is out of school and we don't get down as often as we'd like. I'll post some pics next week of our fun weekend and all our adventures!! Happy weekend!

What an awesome website!! It's called Sewn- www.sewn.net.au There are some amazing resources on this site, like a fabric matcher! It will help you match fabrics to quilt styles. There's a place to help you find fabrics you're looking for, free patterns, guest spots featuring some really creative people, and lots of great ideas. I'm loving this new site. It's one of my new favorites! It just launched and their offerring some cool new stuff.

Here are some cute pics from a fun weekend! Saturday we went to LA to celebrate my nieces bday. We went to an indoor play place in Pasadena then a party back at my in-laws and then dinner out with the adults. We followed it up with a perfect Sunday too! We had early church, then lunch, everyone took a nap, then we took the kids for a run around the lake by our house and came back to BBQ and watch the Laker game. We had a great weekend! We love being together and we love seeing family.
