"we're from California"

Dropping off Grandma at the airport

"Things you shouldn't say to your grandma"

The family gathered after Leo's baby blessing to play some board games for Kelsen's birthday. One of the games was somewhat miserable and frustrating to play due to lack of communication and listening ears. BUT one round was rather exciting.

The subject card was...
"things you shouldn't say to your grandma"

Everyone put in an anonymous response in a pile for a reader to read out loud. For obvious bonedelins had fun with their responses.



Things you shouldn't say to your grandma...

- I saw your room

- I don't like your headband

- the National Enquirer isn't true

- I haven't read my scriptures in like a month

- on a scale of 1 to 10, how is your love life?

- Answers to her 20 questions

- how old are you?

- you look 70

Happy birthday to me!

I had the most wonderful birthday! Chris treated me like a princess all day! He is always super good to me, but today we did everything I wanted and he did it with a smile. : ) He got me and my parents tickets to go see the play, "Wicked"! It was super awesome. I loved it! Chris loved it too, which made me happy. My parents drove all the way over here for ONE day just to be with me to celebrate my day of birth! I also got to go shopping and my parents bought me these amazing soft leather sandals that I love! And of course the day was full of amazingly delicious food. Which is always a plus!

All in all, I would say it was a great day! Happy birthday to me!

Oh! And thanks mom for birthing me. I know that was painful, "but totally worth it."

My family is so awesome! I loved getting birthday wishes right as it turned 12am!

The 4th of July

All of our cute little families did various things this 4th of July to celebrate the independence of our young country! Long live the Declaration of Independence! 

Not sure what everyone else was doing in these pictures, but Chris and his family went to a community pool together. Chris had a very enjoyable time pestering Sparky with gross leaves from the pool.

Brandon was super excited to wake up early for the ward breakfast. Chelsea and Chris enjoyed the pool with Chris' brothers family, his parents, and Sparky. 

Chris and Chelsea drove to the Beach and walked up and down along the beach watching coast fireworks. They found a nice bench on grass to cuddle and enjoy the atmosphere. They had a really great time singing along to people patriotic music blasting from their beach houses. 
Joe and Anne enjoyed the afternoon at a beautiful lake or river (not sure) that was apparently super cold.  
Dan, Tracy, and Brandon enjoyed fireworks from on top of the mall parking lot. The viewers were more excited about the fire that got started more than the fireworks themselves. oops. Americans are cruel. Go USA!
