The great outdoors!!

The boys had a "father and son's" camp out this weekend and they had a great time!! The girl's and I (and Preston) went shoe shopping while they were gone and we had a great time too. :)

The boys had to show the rest of us where they went camping, so we went hiking and rock climbing there on Saturday afternoon. It was so nice to be outside and enjoying the weather!! YEAH!

The boys by a bunch of cactus

Cute Preston in the grass





A picture with just Adam and I? Weird! :)











Liv needed a picture taken too. Sweet girl!








Mid air!!!! I wish my camera was zoomed more! Preston was LOVING it!



Aaron jumping off the rocks.





The kiddos


Preston and Mommy.





Another picture of just Adam and I. (Preston was at my feet, Ashton is hiding behind us, Livi is crying, and Aaron was jumping off rocks. Ella was our photographer as we ignored all the chaos.) :)

Fun with grandparents! (Spoiled really)

My parents came for just a fun visit this week. In the middle of all of our normal chaos, we still managed to have a really great time!! Thanks mom and dad for taking the time to come see us. We love you and don't get to see you enough! For family night we went to "Randy's Tumbling".....it was so CRAZY!!! but a TON of fun. What more could a bunch of kids ask for than padded walls, trampolines and a foam pit?!



And a rock climbing wall




Preston just got to be held all night. :)







Dad even jumped off the platform into the foam pit.....and Livia even jumped!!! (That scared me more than I care to admit!) Yes, I'm an over-protective mom. (no pics of Liv because I was too busy panicking)



Dad getting some snuggling time.





My mom got a couple of good pics of some of the kids...

Aaron



Ashton






Livia (Thanks Marla for the shirts! I owe you $3 sometime!--put it on my tab! hahaha)





And Preston!



While I was teaching piano, my parents took the kids to the zoo. It was a beautiful day!












And we've missed this handsome guy for a couple of days this week.








So I took the kids to a park that was super fun, and "dangerous". aka...has a merry-go-round.




and teeter totters





Preston was loving the grass







cute boy!


Thanks mom and dad for those great couple of days! And we even got a glimpse of some nice weather! If only it will last!
