a fun week

We felt spoiled last week with so many visitors in town. I anticipated it for so long that it was over in a flash. My youngest brother Marky was here as well as my older brother Dan and his family. We also spent a day at grandma Shirley's house. It was so much fun. When can you all come again?

Johnny loved being one of the boys at the Long Beach Aquarium

I caught Cache patting Johnny on the head. It was so sweet. Johnny reciprocated with a hug.

Two of my favorite photos from the week. Baby Ty and Brooklyn. Aren't they a photogenic pair?

And here is Marky. The best uncle ever. Johnny was beyond delighted all week.

A cute photo of the kids together. I love Bellamie's bright orange cast!

Johnny almost blends into the background with those big blue eyes and blue shirt.

Tyler is such a good baby. We hauled him all over L.A. and he was a perfect angel.

Cozied up on the couch at home. It was SO nice to have an extra pair of hands. I can't believe how much more I can accomplish in a day with someone to help.

Ty and Grandma. She made him a bunch of cute bibs like the one he's wearing.

I love both of these photos of Marky and Ty on the beach so much that I posted them both (even though they are almost identical). Uh, who's the lucky girl that will someday marry this awesome boy? I'd like to meet her because she must be amazing.

We were at the beach with a bunch of my friends from church and their kids. A lady walked up to one of my friends and asked her if we were from Utah. My friend said, "No, why?" The lady said she'd never seen so many modest people at the beach before. I hadn't thought about it, but I guess we were wearing a lot of clothing for an 80 degree day.

Why does my child always have to wander? Johnny found the seagulls a million times more interesting than the water.
