Did YOU Forget Something ?

After all the smoke has cleared and the chaos has subsided, I decided to do the dreaded laundry. Imagine my schock and horror at discovering that my clothes were.......... not alone ! Now this is no surprise to anyone, in fact it's quite common place. but this year, I'm taking a different angle on things. Maybe I won't pack things up and send them........maybe........

I'm going to have a super duper Yard Sale...........OR....maybe I'll send them all "Postage DUE" :O ........let me know which ones belong to you so I don't send them to the wrong address. A Chicago Shirt could end up in Puerto Rico. I'm sure the little pink fluffy purse belongs to Ethan ! :)

Love you all and we miss you already ! Yes, even the laundry piles !


I've already talked to Kelsey about her scriptures, so they're "safe", but I don't know about the rest ! There was also some money, but you know the laundry and money rule.

Phoenix High-jinx

I tried to embarrass Kelsey by telling the server that it was her birthday ! She was un moved by my failed attempt and quite enjoyed her FREE desert ! Don't worry, I told the server it wasn't REALLY her birthday.....but she gave it to us GRATIS just because we're such a funny family !

Yes, we know the photos are NOT flattering....you can just deal with it ! We're on VACATION !

Bronsen and Quinny were inseperable ! Everyone could hear them giggling and laughing like they had a private joke they weren't sharing with the rest of us ! Let's see, Bronsen's mom is Quinny's first cousin.......I guess they're far enough "removed" they could be "kissing-cousins".

Oh, What Do You Do In the Summertime?

We started our summer vacation by heading out to Phoenix for Marin's baptism and to play in the sun with the Brownings ! Grandma was super content to ride between the two "babies". We sang songs and played games like I Spy with my Little Eye. We colored and on the way home we saw a UFO.....talk to Craig about that....

While in Phoenix, you can see that Papa wasted no time in jumping on the "I don't want to walk around Costco" bandwagon ! How spoiled is that? :)

Robert and Becca invited us all to enjoy their time-share condo and pool. We had a couple of BBQs and played a game called "Why are you late for work?" If you want to learn how to play, just call me and I'll give the instructions. It requires excellent acting skills.....NOT !

Upon arriving home, the kids found a new career working for Old Navy. It was a great trick ! The Display was in the front entry and they all stood so incredibly still. It was funny watching the customers do a double-take and then start laughing !
