Kevin's Weekend Home

We had a blast when Kevin, Keith's brother came home for the weekend. Kayla loved squirting him with the hose, and Kayla liked playing in the water.

Showlow Trip for Triathlon and Great Grandpa Slack

Two weekends ago we went to Showlow, Arizona for an Olympic Distance Triathlon I sighned up for. It was the first Olympic I'd ever done. It was really fun, I came in 8th, but I am excited for the next one because I definitely see ways I could improve many ways. It is always fun to go up there since Great Grandpa Slack, my mom's Dad lives up there too, and The Tenney's, my mom's sister. We had a good time visiting with them. And seeing Kanani's new grandbaby Joseph K Junior.

Luke's 1st Birthday!

Since we were in San Fran on Luke's birthday, we celebrated at Keith's parent's house that Sunday when we got home. Luke's Grandma Busby threw a wonderful Zoo train party for him. We had hats, and trains, and Kayla helped make the cute monkey cups that you see her holding. As you can see...Luke didn't really clue in all the way on the fun of a birthday. He was run to climb the stairs, laughing his head off, the whole time we were opening presents...or trying to get him to do it.

Kayla showed us her video of her cute ballet recital that day, and so she wanted to dress up in her outfit again while Grandma Nalder and Aunt Kathy were there. Luke got cool trains for his birthday as one of his presents.

San Fransico--just the two of us!

Keith and I went to San Fransico the last weekend in May, just the two of us. We missed Luke's birthday, and we missed Kayla's dance recital, but it was really nice to just get away, and was the best time to do it. Plus,...we got great tickets to San Fran. We had a lot of fun. If you haven't been, you should really go sometime. We went to alcatrez, pier 39 and saw the sea lions, the aquarium, a submarine tour, saw the sourdough being made and Boudin Sourdough company, and The Muir Woods, Sausilto. It was really fun. We also got to see our wonderful friends the Caldwell's who drove forever and ever to see us. :O( Thanks guys. It was great to see you. And we stayed with Keith's buddy from college the Plocher's.

California Trip in May

We went to LA for Breanne's wedding in the LA Temple. We stayed with Keith's Grandma Hamilton, and it was really fun. Breanne was a beautiful bride, and the kids loved going to the temple. Kayla tells us all the time now that her and Luke are both going to get married in the temple. I'm so glad that she has set this goal already at such a young age. What could make a mother happier? So thanks to all friends who have invited us to their weddings that has instilled this in Kayla, I believe. Luke, outside the temple. Happy guy...mr. independent.
Breanne the beautiful bride!
Luke was playing with rocks in the backyard. One of his favorite things to do.
