Moonlight Beach

Everything is more fun when done with cousins.

Ready for a road trip.

Easily entertained.

Moonlight beach was great. It had a playground, snack shack, bathrooms, volleyball net and lots of sand.

Keaton and Jesse playing in the sand.

The kids had lots of fun jumping the waves, discovering sand crabs and playing in the sand.

Andrew isn't in any of these pictures since he opted to go to school and participate in field day. He had lots of fun as did we.

It might just be time to go home when your baby looks like this. We had a great time at the beach and then headed over to see the tide pools near La Jolla that my sister's family discovered on a previous trip. We had lots of fun and I think I was the only one to get sunburned. The boys missed their cousins as soon as they left. They would reminisce about how much more fun it had been to go on a walk or play a game with their cousins. Won't you all move out to Cali? Or at least visit often.

Memorial Day Weekend Part 2 - Golf

Andrew, Chris and Grandpa Jensen went golfing over Memorial Day weekend at Menifee Lakes. They all had a blast and Andrew proved to be quite the little golfer - looks like golf lessons might be paying off.

Andrew looking sharp!Nice form.
Chris teeing it off. Grandpa Jensen hitting the ball.

Andrew actually hit his first tee shot on the green on a little par 3 hole. He was very excited and ended up bogeying the hole. Great job Andrew!

Racing

Grandpa Jensen came to visit over Memorial Day weekend. We spent Memorial Day at Mulligan's with all the go-kart racing, mini golf, bumper boat and laser tag we wanted. It was alot of fun! I mostly watched with Matt as the boys had a good time, though I did get in on the mini golf and bumper boat action. The bumper boats were the hit of the day. We loved chasing and squirting each other. The boys also played their first games of laser tag - also a hit. It was a fun-filled day.

They call me Trouble

For awhile there, Matt was walking along the walls, cupboards and pushing chairs to get around. He is now enjoying the freedom to walk where he chooses unless he wants to play in the toilet, climb the stairs, touch the tv cords or bang on the fireplace.

Looks a little bit like Trouble

Making his way around the kitchen, under the table and through the chairs.

Taking some of his first steps. He's now a pro and thinks he can walk around with things in his hands and mouth. Not so! Needless to say he's got lots of bruises, scratches and cup marks on his face...nice.

Father & Sons Campout

A few weeks ago the boys headed off to the Father & Sons Campout above Lake Elsinore. It was at an RV campground. The boys had alot of fun until some boys from another ward sharing the campground set off a stink bomb in their tent around 10 pm. They almost came home that night but they aired out the tent and made the best of it. Chris said there was a report of a mounain lion attack up in that area earlier that week. Luckily they saw no mountain lions but Keaton was attacked by ants that night while leaning up against a tree. The boys did have a fun time playing with friends and exploring the area. It was a memorable camping experience to say the least.

Spring Break

The boys had two weeks of spring break. They spent three days back in Surprise, AZ with our good friends and neighbors the Mariners. They had so much fun going to scouts with Nate, playing mini golf, staying up late watching movies, eating doughnuts and just hanging out. Nate is their best friend and they miss him alot. They couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had and how they wished they were still there. Thanks Denise!

We had alot of fun visiting with family in Utah over spring break. The boys loved playing out in the snow. They had a ruler and would measure all around Grandma and Grandpa's yard. According to the boys we had between 10 and 12 inches. WOW! Luckily it didn't stick around too long. We were definitely not prepared for extreme weather.

Measuring the snow up in the treehouse. They threw snowballs at mom and all of their Grandmas and Grandpas. What fun they had!

What a beautiful view of Mt. Timpanogus from my parents' front yard.

We went with Grandma and Aunt Jen to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. It was soooooo cool, they really added alot of displays since the first time we went 4 years ago.

Lucky for us, Matt slept through most of the exhibits. He woke up full of spunk.

Easter Sunday with Grandma and Grandpa Crofts.

Matt loved sitting on the stairs and walking along all of the walls and furniture at Grandma's house.

Saying Goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa Biesinger. It was hard to say goodbye and head back to school, work, laundry and the long drive home. We had such a great time. The boys went to see Monsters vs Aliens. We visited with Great Grandma Biesinger, had Wii tournaments, Chris and I even got to go out to dinner one night and a movie the next. The boys had a sleepover with their cousin Russell and got to play with Katie and Maddie. We went to the BYU MOA to see the I SPY exhibit. It was so great to visit with friends and family - we only wish we could have had time for so much more.

Cruisin' - Well, Kinda

We recently rediscovered a toy that Keaton and Andrew received for their 1st birthday - a walker. Matt has played with it before but was always more interested in playing with the toys on the front side of it. We decided to see if Matt was ready for it now. He is standing by himself and gets around the furniture quite well but hasn't taken his first unaided steps yet. The walker is perfect for him right now. He has taken quite a liking to it, cruisin all around the house. Soon he'll be walking on his own!
