Califor-N-i-a...

For Spencer's summer break we headed home to Visalia for some nice summa weather. It was great to hang out and relax by the pool... pretty much every day. Besides a lot of laziness we did get out and do quite a few fun things.

Beckham loved the airplane. When he sees or hears an airplane now he stops and looks for it and lets you know it's an "airplane".

Swimming with the cousins.

Beckham's cute bum bum.

This is all Beckham did all day every day. He's the next Jimmer in the making.

Hangin out.

Camping at the Beach

We had a family reunion at the beach. It was so fun camping with all the cousins. Kelan asked if we could live and camp on the beach forever. It was so much fun!

Six Flags Magic Mountain

After camping on the Beach we headed over to Magic Mountain. Kelan loved it and had so much fun until he was so sick he couldn't ride any more rides.

Train ride in Looney Toone Land

The little kids didn't want to get close to these guys.

Waiting again and again...

Kelan wanted to keep going and going this was definitely his favorite.

Grandma and Grandpa got to ride this one with us a few times.

Beckham also loved Jet Streamer even though his face doesn't show it.

Beckham LovEd the roller coaster and went on it again and again. I couldn't believe they would let an 18 month old ride this thing. Kelan loved it the first time but then felt like he was going to spew everywhere.

Delicious but seriously messy.

This pretty much sums up the trip... POOPED!

Railroad Days!

Every year in Omaha they do this thing called Railroad Days... and every year we have been out of town while it is going on. This year we were in town so I said "we are doing it" even in the 100 degree weather. It was a lot of fun and Kelan thought it was pretty cool. Sad but I think one of his favorite parts was riding the bus and trolley from place to place.

The Wheels on the Bus...

All Aboard!

Cowboy Man?

Trolley Ride

Kelan and Brady

Taken it back in time to the 18... somethin's.

Chad and Mandi riding old school style.

Choo Choo rides

One of Kelan's favorite parts.

Then we had to cool off with a BBQ and time in the sweetest pool ever.

We'll never forget the GOOD TIMES in Omaha.

Anderson Family Reunion

ALL of Spencer's family came into town for a week of fun, fun, fun! It was a little non-stop but I think we got it all in. This is our last year here and that means it is the last year to enjoy the College Baseball World Series. Spencer's family loves baseball so it was fun to have them here to enjoy the fun atmosphere Omaha has during this time.

Opening Ceremonies

Stephen and Afton's family came out early to enjoy the opening ceremonies with us. Tina McBride sang and there were some amazing fireworks... plus a lot of mumbo jumbo about a lot of baseball stuff.

Afton and Brooks

The Zoo

The Zoo is probably my favorite parts of Omaha. It was fun to show everyone how cool it really is.

Going to Winter Quarter's with this many kids probably wasn't the most spiritual experience... but it sure was fun!

We were able to stay cool at the Splash Station. Thank goodness we just missed the storm rolling in.

Beckham doesn't like to be crowded. That's why he trying to push Kelan off.

Sweet Shades. Beckham didn't want to give them back.

The Mall

It was pretty funny going out with this many kids... but we did it. I was pretty impressed that we didn't loose any of them.

Pizza Machine

Grandpa took all the kids to the Pizza Machine. It was so fun and all the Grandkids loved it! Thanks Papa!

I think Kelan has a secret crush on his Aunt Meme.

This is the only thing Beckham wanted to do the entire time.

Beckham loves his daddy.

Lookin' good!

I think the adults enjoyed it just as much as the kids.

Crazy Cohen

Grandpa and ZoZo.

Family Pictures

We try to take pictures every time we are all together... and I'm pretty sure it keeps getting trickier and trickier. Everyone might not be looking/smiling but we got a few decent ones!

Behind the scenes... fruit snacks, balls and quick feet.
