We arrived in California

After 2 days of traveling from Idaho Falls we finally made it.  We picked up my sister Hailey before leaving Idaho Falls and she helped with the boys.  We drove to Las Vegas where we stayed at the Mel Hotel (my friend melanie's) for the night.  we all got stuck in crazy traffic going through the gorgre outside of st george.  It added 2 hours onto our trip and we barely got to see Melanie.  Thank you Melanie for letting us stay with you.  I'll have to add our car pictures later they are still on the phone.  First stop in SLO was my dad's to drop off Hailey and play with grandpa.

Seth liked the baseball bat grandpa gave to kade

Kade running around the backyard at my dads.  My dad has lots of birds finches, canaries, quail and a parrot.  Kade loves the birds.  I also love that Kade gets to play in this backyard because this was my grandparents backyard and I'm sure we have a few pictures like this in their backyard.

Jane and Seth enjoyed lots of time in the flipped over jumpy thing.  It was perfect for Seth he could see what was going on.  Jane tried to escape every now and then

Jane has awesome eyes

I love their little legs together. For those of you who don't know Jane is Emily's second and is 3 months older than Seth

We visited with my grandma before she went out of town.  Thangs GG for the great dinner.

GG and Seth

Behind GG's house there was a tractor...Kade was in heaven

He loved being able to sit inside and touch everything and hit ever button.

We had a Pearson family dinner it was so much fun.  The Pearson's got this cool firepit so it was nice to sit outside and have fun and stay warm

Great Grandma Lagerquist and Seth.  I love that they match

The trampoline was a huge hit for the kids. There were 10 kids under the age of 4 it was great. A 6 year old, and 2 older kids.

They all got along for the most part.  On the tramp is Kade, Alec, Davin, Brinly, Brayden. Brayden is a second cousin

Pretty sure Brinly is fantastic in all these pictures.  Pretty sure Alec never gets up from the tramp.  They all did pretty good it sure was funny to watch

Davin looks like he is supervising all the kids. 

Emily being very serious about serving ice cream and cake.  August is a big birthday month so we celebrated Brinly's, Megan and Jesse's birthday.  They got a bear cake thanks to Emily and it was super yummy.

Megan is 18!



Jesse enjoying his birthday cake, Cliff enjoying his, and Seth really wanted some and I think he did get a taste.

Oh man I love this girl look at that face

Man she is so funny

Kade loves Daisy.  One day we were sitting on the back patio and I look over and Kade is standing in the pen right under Daisy just talking to her.  I was a little worried because Daisy isn't used to being around a ton of kids and there were kids all over the place.  And the fact that Daisy kicks scares me a little.  But nothing happened because Jesse went out there.  I really had to watch Kade after that he just wanted to go pet Daisy all the time.

More trampoline time.  I love how Tyler is stading it reminds me of the silhouette of the cowboy i have seen around. 

This is some serious cake and ice cream eating.  Everyone looks so serious it makes me laugh.  Charlie's brother's were there and then Charlie's niece Jamie came down with her 4 kids and they brought along Brayden another cousin.  It was fun to have an extended Pearson get together.  Grandma and Grandpa Lagerquist were also there along with the Powers. Not sure why I didn't get any pics of the power's except Cliff....odd
