The boys got into some wipes and had a hay day, they love their wipes!
"Who....us? Wipes?? What wipes."


Brevan is a cleaner though. This is him cleaning the table for me.

He may look innocent, but the evidence is in his hand.


They also were caught playing in Kyah's doll house. She was not too happy about that, but they looked so darn cute I had to take some pictures.
Brevan is peeking out the upper floor, Holden on the lower...answering the door.


So, when I opened up the refrigerator they snagged a green pepper out of it. This is one of their favorite things to do....try to unload as much out of the fridge as they can before I close it.

Here, quick, you take a bite, before mom takes it away.


Brevan also like to climb into anything that seems to have a little space he can squeeze into. In this case it is the drawer. He is so cute I could open up the drawer, take him out, and stick him in my pocket.


Our summer trip this year was to sunny CA. We rented this 15 passenger van to haul all of us (my parents and Matt and Jinni were also included). This thing was a rattle trap. It was seriously so noisy I had to shout across the console to talk to Brian. Brian turned out to be the bus driver (good thing he has his CDL). We took off for a 9 day trip to CA/Disney.


The fam and my cute parents.

Brevan was teething this trip, and also caught a cold. As you can see, Brian was also teething, no cold for him though.

This is Brevan feeling better from having a fever and cold.
This is Holden just coming down with the cold. Fun for us. They never get it at the same time.
Porter
We went to the beach one night. We nearly froze our buns off. Nice sunset though!

Not everyone wanted to get out of the car, it felt like the arctic zone. We stuck it out though.

AAAHHH Disneyland, the happiest place on earth.



We happened to run away one night to see The World of Color at Disneyland with Matt and Jinni. Grandma and Grandpa so graciously watched the chillins.

We ate at Spaghetti Factory one night, Kyah loves that place.

Holden loving every minute of Disneyland.

Porter was able to go to Jedi Training where he battled Darth Maul.
Battling Darth Vader.
Check it out, I just threw this one in because it is just Bri and I. There were only 2 pictures of just the 2 of us, so I threw them both in just for kicks! (The other one being the one above at the World of Color, in case you missed it.)
We waited in line forever for Toy Story Mania. Don't they look great?

We are ready to see Woody and Buzz! Put our fancy glasses on and everything! The better for us to see them with.
Heading into California Adventure. The place was a zoo.
Over to Disneyland for some fun, fun, fun.
So we went on the ride Monsters Inc. We are on the ride, headed for some fun, and I look back and there is no Porter. I say to everyone..."where's Porter". Pretty soon everyone is looking around for him. I spot him in a car behind us, full of strangers. Somehow he managed to get in a car with complete strangers. Me, being the sensitive mom that I am, laughed the whole way through the ride. He did not think it was one bit funny (I tried to muffle my laugh in front of him mind you). I still think it was so funny, to see the look on his face, in a car full of strangers. What fun. So, I took a couple pictures of him with his new family.

This was a picture of Brevan in the height of his sickness. His poor little eyes barely stayed open. They were really watery, my poor baby!
Grandma and Grandpa hanging with the babies while we took the older kids on the bumper cars.

Brevan resting after a busy day at Disney.


Tea cups! We had to ride in a pink one of course.


Kyah and Brevan were thoroughly enjoying small world.

The crew waiting for the parade to start.

We went to the beach one day, and they all really loved it. This is Brevan watching the sand fall out of his hands.
Holden watching the waves roll in.

Kyah's beautiful sand castle.


So, how did we do it??? Just the same way we have to do everything....BACKPACKS! Those are life savers!


We went to the Newport Temple to see where it all began for Matt and Jinni. (I made them act it out and everything!) That is where he proposed to her.
It was under construction, but the grounds were all beautiful. The water feature was not turned on however.
Holden all tuckered out.

This was on Autopia. I looked back to see Porter driving the car, and I got a kick out of it. They were going back and forth banging from side to side, it looked like a bumpy ride! I was in front of them so I was able to get a cute picture of the boys!
Kyah loves those princesses, we saw each one of them multiple times. The boys were quite annoyed at that by the way!
We went on Small World many times. Kyah wanted to hold a baby each time. She and Holden were enjoying their voyage at sea.
This is the motley crew that went on Splash Mountain (minus Brevan). I got totally drenched, not hardly a dry spot on me! Bri got fairly wet, but the other two only had a couple drops on them! I sloshed around in wet tennis shoes for the rest of the day. Pretty sad when you take your shoes off and your toes are all prunes!
Holden on his first carousel ride, Brevan was sleeping.

Here is the entire traveling bunch, except Porter that is. I am not sure why but he refused to be in the picture with the rest of us. Too cool for us I guess.


Bri celebrated his 37th birthday on the 2nd day of our trip. We surprised him with a cake in the store parking lot. We then went to Red Robin for a tasty dinner.
On the way to Disneyland we stopped at an outdoor place that has an aquarium. Daddy and Holden enjoying the fishes.
Mom and Kyah.
Porter and Brevan.
