Fun in the City

We had so much fun at the Exploratorium! Spencer's cousin came to visit and he got City Passes for his family but they weren't able to do everything while they were in town so they gave us their left over passes. So we got to go to the Exploratorium for FREE! It was our first time ever going and the boys loved it. It is all hands on and full of experiments, which Kelan loved.
Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. Pretty funny but nasty water fountain. Haha.
 Mama Bear, Brother Bear and Baby Bear.
 Matching faces.
 Hand prints.
 Experiment...
after experiment...
...after experiment. Crew was such a trooper and totally hung out in his stroller and observed, the entire time! There was no way I could keep track of all three kids by myself!
 Our skeleton buddy.
 After we were done at the Exploratorium we went to Ghiridheli Square for some treats. Hanging with the naked mermaids.
 We walked down to the beach, the playing started off like this.
 Then to this.
 Then they were pretty much soaked and muddy.
 Crew was so happy to finally be free from his stroller.
 We decided to explore a little and try to find a better beach... and this is what we found. It was such a pretty beach and the weather was amazing! You never know what you are going to get in San Francisco. Always pack a little of everything.
 Our PB&J sandwich picnic dinner on the beach. We eat this a lot when dad's not with us. Easy and they love it.

 I had such a fun day with these three cuties. Glad I have my little buddies to explore with.

Weekend Getaway

Spencer got a weekend off, which was rare for the rotation he was on. Josh and Dana needed to use some air vouchers before the end of the month. So we all decided we should do a weekend getaway together. So, the kids partied with the grandparents while the adults (and sweet baby Nora) partied all weekend! We had so much fun just going and relaxing with our good friends all weekend. We went to Half Moon Bay and headed down the 1 stopping in Monterey and Carmel for the weekend.
After the boys and I picked up the Dunyon's from the airport we headed to the beach since Spence was still at work anyway. The boys love Josh and Dana. It's always a treat for them when they come visit.
 We had fun exploring.
Carmel is one of our favorite places!

 We sure miss having these guys as neighbors.
One day boys, one day. I'm not sure how much it is to golf at Pebble Beach, but I do know it is out of our price range. First, Spence needs to learn how to golf... or drive a golf cart so Josh can golf. Haha.
 Sweet baby Nora. She was seriously the best baby ever on our trip. It was so fun having her along for the ride.
 They had a golf tournament going on while we were there and the boys snuck onto the green and walked pretty much the whole thing. We drove instead and picked them up at the end.

 It was such a fun trip. We'll have to do it again soon Dunyon's!

Growing up

Kelan is back at school and ALL day, it's an adjustment for all of us. He is now officially a first grader! He loves his new teachers Mrs. Torres and Mrs. Bowers. If you ask him what he likes best about first grade he will tell you, that I get 4 recesses. He loves everything about it! Especially playing on the big playground with the big kids. Kelan is turning into such a good little reader and he is our little mathematician. It is so fun seeing him grow and develop into such a little stud.
This is what Kelan picked out for his first day of school outfit.
 I kind of messed up on his hair cut for school pictures.
 It's a really good thing they don't photograph the back of his head. Haha. I can't believe how big Kelan looks in this picture.
 Preschool fun with Beckham! This year we started a preschool group with a few of our friends from church. It is such a fun group! Not only does Beckham love it, so does Crew!
 Beckham is such a little goof ball. He is always trying to please and make those around him happy. We sure love our Becky Boo.
 Crew is a big kid now! He's officially in nursery. He loves going to nursery with his big brother each week.
Crew is definitely our little Crazy man. He has helped me with my patience in so many ways. I am very grateful for this little guy and the spunk he brings to our family. He fits right in with his 2 older brothers. He's a natural wrestler, ball thrower, car player and follower of whatever the older two are doing. He sure loves his older brothers, you can tell by the way he watches them.
Brother love.

 It is crazy how big these three are getting, it kind of makes me sad. I hope they always know and remember how much I love them and how much their Heavenly Father loves them. Spencer and I sure are lucky to have them in our lives. They are such good examples to us and help us try a little harder to be a little better each and every day.
