Eating out at "In and Out" burgers

We were able to celebrate McKayla's 2nd birthday in California. She got some cute clothes and a cute designer purse her size. When asked to blow out her candle she got confused and started blowing up a balloon. Brock was there to help.

Bowling in San Marcos! McKayla didn't want to miss out on the fun, so she got her own shoes. Two left feet sizes 1 & 2.

Brock throwing the bowling ball

Brayden lost a tooth!

Pipes is a must when visiting Cali! We always get the "Big Breakfast" with french toast. Fresh squeezed orange juice here is also the best.
Muscle Man!

Lagoon & Hogle Zoo

Good thing there was glass in between us.

Boys favorite bird!

Watching the bird show.

Marquelle's fun ride in the stroller!

Train ride! Always a nice break from walking everywhere!

I told everone to say"Monkey" to get them to smile.

McKayla makes a monkey face instead.

The kids love Lagoon. McKayla trying to figure the ride out.

Weeeeee! Gotta love Puff the magic Dragon!

Brayden was a good big brother helping McKayla on the rides.

Hogle Zoo

The zoo was so much fun with the cousins!

Great Grandma Kinnear came with us too!

Steamboat Springs, CO

C.J's team (Spanish Fork Heat) won the Championship in their division.

C.J hit nothin but home runs and doubles.

C.J pitching. Shut 'em down!

Wildlife was everywhere. Brayden got way too close!

I can't believe the deer didn't run away!

4th of July parade.

They had a lot of water guns, made McKayla nervous-but it felt good!

The Girls watching the game! (Mom, Kim, Me)

Marquelle enjoying the hike.

Short hike to Fish Creek Falls.

Fishing was fun. Everyone caught a fish, Kimberly even snagged a crawdad.

Ride up to the Alpine Slide. McKayla is my ride buddy!

Pic time in front of slide. The boys loved it! (the slide that is-not picture time)

Jordan hitting a "rapighes" (rapids) according to Brock.

Tubing was fun with Kim!

1st tube run down the Yampa River.

McKayla was very brave down the rapids even after tipping once.

Father"s Day

2009-06-21T17:33:00.000-07:00

It was a happy father's day! Jordan got a new grill for Father's Day so we did steaks! Delicious! The sun came out long enough for us to swim and enjoy our company outside. It's always good when the family gets together!

Jordan with his father Nolan and sister Angie.

Junior being a big baby. He is 7 months old and doesn't always come when we call, so Jordan had to carry him home after he went off chasing somebody down the road.

Our good friends the Ottleys came over to party with us, this is their son Quentin squirting C.J.

Jordan taking a dive off the deck.

Chicken fight! Brayden and C.J. vs Brock and Colten.

Marquelle loved the water today! She normally does not like to have baths but she loved swimming with everybody. All the kids love Uncle C.J.

Moab

2009-06-18T11:14:00.001-07:00

Wiped Out! We did a lot of stuff in 2 days!

Jordan and C.J. climbed on top of "Surprise Arch". Nuts! It was making me nervous.

C.J. was climbing all over the rocks like he was spiderman.

We had to crawl through a crevice to get to this arch. The boys loved to explore!

McKayla crashed! Naptime doesn't wait even when having fun.

"Fiery Furnace" was amazing! A must if going to Moab!

"Delicate Arch" viewpoint.

"Double Arch"

Brock pretending to be a dog!

McKayla did pretty good for an almost 2 year old!

Brayden was born to Hike!

We hiked up to "Bow Tie Arch" and "Corona Arch" Tuesday afternoon. Beautiful Hike!

C.J showing Brayden how to skip rocks across the water.

We camped along the Colorado River at the "Gold Bar Campground". The winds were crazy that night, we thought the tent was going to collapse or carry us away. Jordan and I didn't sleep much that night but the kids slept through it all.

We viewed Petroglyphs that were from as far back as 600 a.d.

Hip Hop Boys

2009-06-13T11:37:00.000-07:00

Brayden and Brock have been taking a hip hop class and they performed last night at Viewmont High School. They were Nerds and were so cute!

Update

2009-06-09T01:41:00.000-07:00

Just to catch up, we had Marquelle (yes #4) on Feb 25th. Life just seems to go faster and faster and I can't catch up on anything! Laundry, Dishes, Showering, Blogging, who has time to do it all?
Brayden got baptised on June 6th, finished 2nd grade with excellent grades, and is excited for summer. Brock Graduated from preschool and can't wait for kindergarten. McKayla is my shopping buddy-we both have an addiction to shoes. And Marquelle is a leech on my boob for the time being.

End of Cali

2008-04-01T19:54:00.000-07:00

Photo opportunity. Everybody was renting weird bikes. Its not like tourists don't stand out enough.

On the edge of Balboa Penisula. Our beach house was about 50 yds away. We got to watch all the boats come in and out. And all the crazy people trying to surf or boogie board on the famous "wedge". The waves are huge and crash right on the shore, and once they hit the rocks the waves turn and go perpendicular with the shore. A lot of surfers were pummeled. It was entertaining.

McKayla loved the beach. Soakin up the sun rays with spf 50 of course.

We love the self portrait, hold the camera in front of you and hope your in it shots. McKayla looks confused, but she'll catch on.

Whale watching voyage! We saw a whale, a bunch of dolphins, and some sea lions. It was cool to be out on the ocean with the big swells and fun to get a different perscective of things.

I miss california all ready. We were able to lay out on the beach in 80° and coming home we had to bundle up to 3 " of snow on the ground. Brrrrrrrrr! We got off the plane in our shorts and flip-flops. Not too smart.

California!

2008-03-27T20:59:00.001-07:00

Our plane ride out to San Diego. McKayla's first plane ride(outside the womb).

We met our long time friends Cathy, Tina, And Amy at Pipes
(A local breakfast shack that is a must when you visit).

McKayla's first time on the beach! She loved the sand.

Yoga

2008-03-26T08:14:00.000-07:00

McKayla likes to watch mama do yoga and is stretching with her.

Hayward's Happenin Haven

2008-03-25T12:55:00.000-07:00

Whats happening? I was lookin on this wonderful world wide web for some crafting ideas and came across all these blog posts. Moms that actually have time to blog and thought, "I can do that"

Our Easter weekend was a blast! On Friday we went up to the bunk house with Grandpa & Grandma Hayward and went snowmobiling and dug out an awesome snow fort! That was McKayla's first time up there and she loved it. Sunday we went to Grandpa & Grandma Hildebrands for a wild eater egg hunt and good food.
