San Diego temple

Ethan not wanting to smile but Nate getting him to do it

Gentry all she does is smile

Wilson saying cheese


Man she is so pretty



while in San diego we stopped by to see the temple Gentry was getting out of the car and said "wow dad its so pretty" Kate was in awe and the boys thought that they were supposed to climb or walk through every flower patch they had there. Ethan actually said this would be a great spot to ride my bike. At the end he agreed it was pretty spectacular.

penguins they smell so bad



the big horses I don't know how to spell there real name so we will cal them big horses




Sea World trip number two

We took a very quick trip to California this week We spent a day at the beach taking home more sand than I have ever seen on 6 people after reapplying sunscrren a few times Gentry was covered and it wouldn't come off. the next day we went to Sea World and saw the things we didn't see during our first trip which were the polar bears and baluga whales first the kids are always taken by the size of things when they are tis close. Here they are checking out the Whales. Gentry Ethan Wilson Kate
Holding star fish I don't touch stuff like that but I am glad they are all for it

more star fish


polar bear caves we almost had Wilson in it until there was a growl over the speaker he backed up really quick Ethan has no fear and would go in a real cave if he could




Wilson LOVES helicopters he can spot them anywhere at the beach the day before there were helicopters everywhere a little boys heaven



Ethan's day at the beach

I am sure a surprise to nobody but Ethan was nuts at the beach He boogie boarded for the whole time he got a nasty sand rash around his belly button. But he wouldn't stop he loved every minute of it. HE made me nervous because he would go out so far that he was hard to see but he would catch a great wave and come in smiling.
Nate was slightly jealous that we only had one boogie board and he couldn't board right next to him

he was a happy kid






My crazy beach bum

she looked for shells for forever I think she is still outback in the sandbox looking her ponies didn't last long.

Nate made a couch in the sand they prefered running across it rather than sitting

Jumping waves


running or trying to run from the waves.

Gentry's day at the beach

hanging out with mom
clinging to dad


showing her dirty hands. These pictures don't show it but gentry was an animal at he beach Nate got some incredible pictures of her running and jumping waves she to helped find seashells and couldn't get enough of the waves I just didn't get any on my camera.

Wilson's day at the beach

He helped Kate look for seashells for a long time. He would pick up rocks or whatever and try to give them to her.
I asked him if he was a sand crab he replied no a turtle I said Oh a sand turtle he said no a beach turtle and then started saying rib bit as if he were a frog. I guess I need to do more animal sounds.


I then asked him if he was an ostrich he said no I am doing tricks


He was quite content digging for hours he did love running from the waves. I think that each time we go to the beach it gets better and better everyone plays and has a great time!!

HAPPY LABOR DAY!!


After swimming and a BBQ they passed out!!!!

an afternoon on the Mountain

We went to Mount Charelston for an afternoon the weather was nice and the kids had a great time running/climbing everything in sight
boys will climb and pose and be very competitive as they do both

These two crack me up they found this stump and would sit together or take turns but while they sat they sang songs I guess it was there stage? so cute


This sorta grossed me out it was a tunnel with spiders and stuff and a little stream the kids went through it over and over again they don't care about gross stuff



More Mt. Charelston

Kate did a great job keeping up with the crazy boys!
Ethan snd Johnny found this swing Ethan looks like he is hanging on with everything he has


any and every rock they could find they would climb small or big quite the accomplishment
