While waiting for dinner, the kids and dog took advantage of the great weather by playing out side.

Tearing things apart to fill the dumpster.  This is Ashton's calling.  He was born to destroy.

Playing with Carson

Ashton and Alayna love playing with their cousin Carson.

Cookie time

Carson is in town and one of the first things the kids did together was decorate their own cookies.  They had peanut butter cookies and used M&Ms, chocolate chips, and colored sprinkles to decorate.  Mmm yum!

Both Ashton and Alayna had a great time at VBS.  Ashton loved playing all the water games.  Alayna learned a lot and has remembered her lessons in her prayers.

Fourth of July at Grandma Maggie and Grandpa Craig's.  

For our ten-year anniversary Shawn and I spent the night on the Queen Mary and visited the Aquarium of the Pacific.  On the Queen Mary we took several tours but still didn't see everything.  We could have stayed longer.

These were taken during the maiden launch of the Water Rocket Launcher that Shawn and Ashton made.

So we were at the park playing with the water bottle rocket launcher that Shawn and Ashton made when Fiyero saw a couple of other little dogs that he really wanted to play with...

These pictures were taken at the wedding of Jacob and Amber Schlosser.  Alayna was the flower girl and Ashton was her escort.  They are getting quite good at doing the wedding thing and both really enjoyed hitting the dance floor after the ceremony.
