Hawaiian Luau, Alyson, Aunt Kelly and My Mom’s 57th Birthday!

These pictures almost say it all. 

Alyson came back from Utah with us on July 18th…and the following three weeks were nothing but a big ol’ party – thanks to Grandma.  My mom sure knows how to play and that is ALL the kids did!  They had a blast.

 

She had wanted to have a Luau, so it worked out that my Aunt Kelly and her three kids (Nicholas and Andrew 10, Sarah 4) came up from Anaheim to spend a few days with us and celebrate my mom’s birthday.  We had a fun few days (as you can see).

Hot dogs and ice cream at Jebs, while Kelly and my mom had a girls outing kid-less.

It’s like trying to take a picture of a bat during the day to catch Ryan like this – so this is rare.

My dad is the best sport about the kids and the pool.  Despite his arthritis pain, he will spend hours playing in the pool with them.  And I mean PLAYING.  All he hears is GRANDPAAAAAAA the entire time!
