On the Road Again!!

We took a summer vacation to Utah this July! We had a Burtenshaw family reunion and we used it as an excuse to visit Josh's family. What fun we had with all of utah grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles!! We went to the Zoo, went boating, hung out with some of our favorite people, and saw lots and lots of family!!
On our way to Utah, we stopped in Vegas at a mcdonalds and saw our favorite Uncle Nick!! So happy considering it was eleven o'clock at night!!

Day two of driving! Not so happy!!

We had a BBQ with the Preece family and Josh's grandparents. So fun!

Showing our mad muscles!!

Jumping on the tramp...favorite thing whenever those two could!

Jayla's First Dance Performance!!

Jayla has been taking dance for quite a few months and has been catching on pretty quick. She loves to go and her teacher makes it really fun for the little girls. They have been learning a Pinocchio dance and they got to perform their fun moves at the Del Mar Fair (I know, you San Deigans are saying its called the San Diego Fair now, but I find I must keep to my old ways!) We decided to make a day of it and see all the fun things at the fair.

Lucky me, I got to lead her on to stage and none of her friends were brave enough to go first, so first we got to be!
Getting ready to start!

Halfway through the dance the girls got way confused and it feel apart just a little!!

What better way to celebrate than good ole ice cream!!


and chocolate-covered frozen bananas! Plus, we all had funnel cakes, Josh got a deep-fried twinkie, I had kabobs, and my dad even got a foot-long sausage!! We were feeling a little sick afterward, but it was totally worth it!

Very skeptic of some guy trying to sell us stuff!! My dad was the sucker, he bought lots of fun new toys!!

We got to see the cows, pigs, goats and horses, as well. The girls loved every minute. Too bad I didn't get a picture. The best part was when they were watching a cow, it actually mooed. The girls thought that was so funny and they couldn't stop laughing. We have never heard a real cow moo before!!

Loving our new pool!

My parents finally got their pool re-plastered after a year without it. We have been having lots of fun, swimming in our own personal pool.


So Relaxing!


We even love it in the buff!!

We love the animals...

Especially, when we are the animals...Left to Right: Sadee, Carson Moss, and Jayla


We love to kiss the deer...


Feed the ducks...

And Hatch out of an Egg!! Such cute little chicks!

Sit in Urns too!

We love taking the Tram ride...

and holding our friends hands so they don't get scared!!

We really enjoy the Wild Animal Park and our annual passes to enjoy it again and again!

Good Times with Daddy (and Papa)!

Reading stories with Daddy! Obviously, not a whole lot of reading going on!
Pizza and a movie night! while cuddling with daddy!

Trying on silly hats with Papa!

Jayla's favorite Cousin!!

Jayla and her cousin, Carter, have so much fun together!! She jumps up and down and screams his name when he walks through the door. Since my mom takes care of Carter and his brother, twice a week, Jayla gets lots of time with her cousin. These are some random pictures my mom took of these two dancing and singing and messing around.



Yes, that's Carter in the basket! She seems to be enjoying that a little too much!
