Andrews Homecoming

Jesse’s younger brother Andrew returned off his Mission at the end of August. It was a lot fun to go to California and see all the family. It was also exciting because our oldest niece got baptized. We were able to take the plane and fly down there. On our way there we got to fly between some thunderstorms and got some amazing pictures along the way.

Hanging out in the back of the plane. Thunderstorms

Cousin Roberts Wedding

This last weekend we made a quick trip up to Reno for my Cousin Roberts Wedding! We drove up Thursday and drove back Saturday. It was so nice to get away for a few days. Reno was beautiful. The weather was great and Hot August night was in town so Jesse was a happy boy. We stayed with some family while we were up there and it was nice to sit and visit with them because we don't see them very often. But Grant did great on the drive and we found out he loves the Muppets. We were watching it on the way up and he would laugh so hard everytime the Muppets came on the screen.

Trying some Red Vines on the way up to Reno It made him really happy!! Untill..

Mommy took it away!

1st Baseball game

A few weeks ago some good friends of ours invited us to a 51's game. It was Grants 1st baseball game and he had lots of fun! He loved playing with daddy and our waterbottles. :) The only thing that was hard is it was REALLY hot.. Poor little Grants face was turning bright red from the heat. So dad pulled out his scarf and got it wet and after that we were good to go.

I love his face in this picture... Thanks Melissa and Kevin for a fun night!

Quick Trip to Visalia

Jesse had to make a quick over night trip to Visalia last week, so Grant and I tagged along to hang out with the family. We just spent the day swimming and playing dress up.. The joys of being the only Boy in the family!!!

This picture will haunt him for the rest of his life!!

4th of July / Family Reunion

For 4th of July this year we were low key and stayed home this year. I had just returned from the Jones family reunion and Jesse was stuck working, so we weren't able to go anywhere, but its ok it was still a good Holiday.

But 1st Grant and I loaded up on the Wed. before 4th of July and headed to Big Rock Candy Mountain in Utah to have some fun with my Dad's side of family. It was nice to get out of the hot weather and see family I hadn't seen in a long time. We had fun playing games, doing crafts, white water rafting, and LOTS of fourwheeling. They had some AWESOME trails up there.

Grant in front of the camp fire!

This was Grant and I's room, the name of the room explains it all.

Grant was a Lady's Man

Grant & Rachel- She feel in love with Grant and couldn't get enough of him all week long! She was a great help to me!

4th of July

This year we hung out with friends, had a few BBQ's, and set off fireworks. It was alot fun. We even got in a few rounds of Killer Mau while waiting for it to get dark. :)

Saturday night we went to the park to watch some "big" fireworks

Daddy & Grant Waiting for the fireworks to start

Forget these fireworks I'm going to bed!!

On the 4th we were over at some good friends of ours setting off our own fireworks. Thanks for show Allison and Austin!!!

Before we started!!! Happy as can be

Then this happened.. Plus loud fireworks..

Then I didn't like it as much and had to sit with Dad like this!!!
