Besties came to town...

When we left Omaha we didn't say goodbye to the Dunyon's we just said "see ya soon". When they told us they were going to come visit it was like Christmas! It was so fun having Josh, Dana and Bella come party it up with us for one last hurrah before Kelan started school. We did all the fun touristy things and had a blast doing it.
San Fran
So when we headed into San Fran this time we were a little more prepared than the last. 1 we drove and 2 we had a seat for every kid to sit in when their feet got tired. I will have to say it was a success seeing all the sites. We went to fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, Ghiradelli Square, Golden Gate bridge and Lombard Street.
Pier 39... as you can tell by Kelan's nose plugging it was a little on the stinky side. 
 Doesn't it look like a PArTy! It will be a sad day when we no longer all fit. We love our Dunderson road trips.
 My Favorite Lady.
 Don't mind the naked mermaid in the back.
 Hanging Out
It was just like old times but even better because we got to have a sleep over every night. The kids partied from sun up to sun down.
 Bella and Beckham watching Monsters Inc. with their MIKES.
 The trip consisted of lots of Boyfriend/ Girlfriend fights and lots of kissing and making up. :)
 Fairyland
The kids thought it was pretty magical. I thought it was a little cheesy but they loved it. I think Kelan even said he loved it more than Pizza Machine.
 Santa Cruz Beach boardwalk
Beach + Good Seafood + HWY 1 = an Amazing day!
 We were trying to dig the biggest hole EVER... obviously we didn't get very far.
 Spencer and Josh
 Gave up on the hole and built some sand Castles instead. . . It was a lot easier!
 Me and the boys
 The helicopter ride. Beckham was looking pretty nervous.
 AT&T Field
Braves vs. Giants. It was a miracle the Braves won!
 Good thing Josh made it for the game. He is a way better companion for a baseball game.
 Oakland Temple
Thanks for making the trip out to visit us. Miss you guys!

Happy Anniversary

Oh how time flies... 7 years later. It is crazy to look back on the past seven years. Our family has grown from 2 to 5. We have moved 6 times. Spencer has been a student at 4 different schools. Kelan our oldest is now 5 in elementary school and our youngest is 6 months getting ready to crawl. Life is a little crazy but we wouldn't have it any other way. Thank goodness we have each other. Love you Spencer!

Cousins and more...

We have been having lots of fun living so close to family. It is so nice to be close enough to go home for special events and also being close enough for weekend visitors. Here are a few of our fun family events...

Mikey got baptized! He is such a sweet boy and it is so cute how all the grandkids look up to him.
 We got to have a baby shower for Meagan and baby Ashlyn arrived. She is so beautiful and Meagan and Dwight are the cutest parents ever.
 Matt, Angelica and their cute little family came to visit. This was a real treat for us and especially the boys. They all have so much fun together. It was a PARTY!
 The BART ride into San Fran... the kids loved it! ... but 6 kids + 3 adults + crazy San Fran = Never again! We will definitely drive next time, sorry kiddos.
 On Pier 39... and again 6 kids + 3 adults + crazy San Fran = a serious lack of pictures.
 Trips to the beach...
 Happy Crew
Sweet Baby
 Trips to the pool...
and Camping Trips (in the backyard)
 
Gotta Love Summer time!

Miss you Kelan

It's official Kelan is a Kindergartner... So far he is loving it! It is only day two so we'll see how long this lasts. He is getting so big and I am sure going to miss my good helper with the boys. I am so excited to see him learn and grow into our little man. We love this guy!
Kelan insisted on wearing this the first day because he said it looked super cool.
 This is his awesome backpack that he picked out. It's his favorite... LEGO STAR WARS. He said when the kids ask him where he got it from he is going to tell the Target... and you better hurry 'cause there's only one left! Hahaha.
 His teacher is Mrs. Reneau, she is so nice!
 Kelan is a little shy when he meets new people. I could tell he was pretty nervous. He was being so brave... he has been waiting for this day all summer. Every day we would get ready to run errands Kelan would ask are we getting ready to go to school!
 I think that his little brothers are going to miss him the most. Beckham is pretty jealous that he doesn't get to go. He keeps asking where his school is and if it got lost.

Graduation and more...

Spencer Graduated! Woo Hoo... now onto more school! Hahaha, you can tell I am super excited! We are so proud of Spence! This is a huge accomplishment and there is no way I could've done it. You are amazing Spence! It took a lot of hard work, dedication and sacrifice... you made it! I can't believe we are done with this chapter of our lives.
Dr. Macias-Dias and Dr. Stout
 Class of 2012
 Spencer won the award for Oral Medicine.
 We are so lucky to have such a wonderful and supportive family. Thanks so much for everyone who was able to make it.
 Everyone kept wanting to know why Spencer (Stephen) wasn't up on the stage? Hahaha... tricky, tricky.
 We love you Spencer!
 Baby Crew giving daddy a fist pump.
 Graduation was a little to long for Ledger... he's ready for some lunch.

Crew's Blessing
 Right before we left we were able to bless Crew on mothers day. We left the next morning at 5... bright and early. It worked out perfect to have our family and friends their to share this special time with us. Crew was a happy baby during the blessing just a little hungry after.
 The boys.
They let us bless Crew the same day as our good friends Katie and Zack. Baby Max and Crew are only a few weeks apart. We both went out with a bang having baby boy #3 right before we left. It will be so fun to get together with all these boys.
 Saying goodbye. I think this picture says it all... Can't you see it in Kelan's grin? He has a serious crush on Miss Sydney.
 Kelan's cute preschool buddies. Jaxon, Gavin and Grady.
 So cute.
 Spence and Kelan in their Graduation hats.
 It was close. We fit both of our town homes into one Penske truck... how, I don't know? I don't think there was an inch to spare.
 We did it! We came to Omaha the same time as Josh and Dana and we literally left the same time. The past three years came and went so fast but the memories that were made will last forever. We had such a fun time living in Omaha. Minus the FREEZING winters and the HUMID summers is was the perfect city. It truly was like we were all one big family while we lived out there. The love and support was amazing and we will miss all our dear friends. 
It's not Goodbye... just see ya later
