We've been having all kinds of adventures lately. Jared and I got to go to California for a friends wedding, we took Clara but got to leave all the big kids with Meema. I got to be one of the bridesmaids in the wedding. Last weekend we got to go the the annual Tucson Reptile Show, and Jared has started the police academy. We've been busy, but we're sure having a lot of fun!
Here are Jared and I at the wedding, aren't we cute!(Please excuse my dress, one of the other bridesmaids was supposed to bring me a special undershirt and she forgot.)
Here's miss Hannah smiling because she just got to pet that huge monitor lizard you can see in the back.
*Hannah asked me if she could play computer the other day. I told her yes, but she would have to wait for me to finish up what I was doing. After a few minutes I thought I was done so I moved out of the chair so she could start. Then I remembered something I forgot to do. "Oops," I said, "Hannah I have to get back on for a couple more minutes, I forgot something." Hannah put her hands on her hips and glared at me, "Are you kidding me!?", she said.
I cannot believe Aaron held that disgusting bug. Yuck, is all I can say!
*We were driving the other day and Aaron said to me, "Mom, there's a lot of things I don't understand about love." I asked him what he didn't understand but he said he didn't know. I said, "Well love isn't really hard to understand, I'm not sure what you're confused about." Aaron shrugged and replied, "I'm a kid, there's a lot of things I don't understand."
Emma liked petting the monitor lizards too.
*Some of the girls in our ward are starting a girl scout troop so Emma gets to be a Brownie scout! She is super excited to start.
Here's poor Jared snoring in the middle of the day on Friday. He's wearing the head phones so he can't hear the kids running around. They are working them HARD at the academy. If one of his classmates gets in trouble they punish the whole class. Last week one of them did something wrong and the whole class had to carry twin mattresses on their backs and run up 5 flights of stairs. They've already had 6 people quit. They had their first test last Thurs, it was on law, half the class failed but Jared studied and studied and he passed with flying colors! Woohoo for him!
Here's Hannah modeling her super awesome new look. Notice the two different shoes. It looks like she inherited her big sisters flare for style.
Finally, here are some pictures of Jared, Clara and I at the beach in CA. We were lucky and got to go one of the days we were there.
Lets go surfin!
This is one of my favorite pictures.
Even though it was cold, Clara loved the water.
Our little beach beauty.
She kept trying to eat the seaweed.
For some reason she kept lying down on her tummy in the sand, maybe because it was warm.
Jared's Mom took this picture for us :)
Last but not least here are Jared and I at the wedding morning breakfast. We really had a blast hanging out with the wedding party, they were really fun people. It was so nice to go out without the kiddo's! (Not that we don't love them of course:) But we were happy to see them when we got home!
