So Long Sweet Summer...

Since SUMMER comes but once a year, we decided to go out with a bang.

We headed to Fresno to spend Labor Day weekend celebrating my Grandpa's 80th Birthday!

It involved lots of catching up with Aunt's, Uncle's and Cousin's, swimming, food and more family fun. We are glad we were able to make the trip and see family.

Here we are with the Birthday Man himself:

A quick snapshot of me and some of my brothers:

Some of the Grandkids and some Great-Grandkids

My Family:

We came home from Fresno and took one day to re-coop, only to have Jared's best friend, and former mission companion come out for a visit with his adorable family.

We went to a Giants game:

at the fabulous AT&T ball park:

Lily had a blast:

After the game we walked around and did some site seeing.

It got chilly in the evening, good thing our girl was all snuggly and warm!

After a day in San Fransisco, we spent the rest of our week enjoying our visitors.

We took them to the Sacramento Temple:

The boys played Rock Band:

While the girls made Bows:

We had a fire and roasted marshmellows:

and just had a great time!

Lily couldn't get enough of her BFF Burke. They were too cute together!


P.S.--Lily turns 1 in 3 weeks! Ahh..when did she get so big?!
