Happy Birthday Darrel and Aaron!

we use to vacation in San Diego.

Kim and Brian left this morning for home. They said they wanted to beat most of the traffic. I took a couple of pictures before they left.

Rowan was sad he missed getting his picture taken but he
was sleeping.
Trina fixed a nice breakfast this morning: cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs, and bacon. I have to admit that I had a cinnamon roll and some bacon. James had some eggs. I don't very often cook breakfast so he was going to take advantage.
Rowan went out this morning and helped grandpa move rocks:
Rowan worked for over two hours, taking a break to go for a
Razr ride with his dad and Addy and Ruby, and to get
a drink of water.
They make a good team!
Besides going on Razr rides and working outside, and reading (Addy), here are some of the things we did:
Saying cheese and trying on her sisters shoes.
Ruby and I made a "dice city", including
a school and a park and a water tower.
Ruby and her tower.
Not only did we play with blocks and dice but Ruby and I played
Candyland and Cootie. We also went out to play on the hammock but there were too many bees for Ruby to feel comfortable.
Hiding from the bees.
When Lola saw Ruby playing with the blocks, of course she wanted to play too. Here Addy is using the blocks to build
Lola's name.
Concentration is important.
Oh no!
Trina did get to go for one Razr ride but she spent most of her time either cooking breakfast or cleaning. The family left for home around 2 p.m. We were sad to say goodbye.
We will miss you!
Being silly!
As soon as everyone was gone James and I took a nap. The house seems so empty and quiet. For dinner we had New York dogs and for FHE we listened to a conference talk.
