We love having company!

We have been lucky to have lots of visitors at our new place for the months of May/June. We had Sharla and Kerrington to start out the month. We had lot and lots of fun. So glad they were able to hang out for the week. My parents have been here a few times. They came out for a wedding but also were able to be at church with us as we gave talks in our new ward. We were able to take them to Griffith Park (where they went a lot while they were dating). Last Tamara and Marissa came out this last week. I have lots and lots of pictures to share. Marissa is just such a character...can't help but take lots of pictures of her.

My Dad bought this world sprinkler for the kids to enjoy for the summer. My mom and I ran into some problems trying to blow it up. Our first problem...gas station air pumps don't fit these inflatable toys. Our second problem: it was about 100 degrees trying to pump it up and we were so sweaty. Luckily we got enough air in it to have some fun.


She loved it!

Here is little Marissa in action. Also notice our backyard. Our tomato plants are sooo big! I couldn't be prouder.

Dad really gets a work out when Marissa is around. He bounces her up and she just loves it!

Last Saturday we went to Griffith Park for pony rides. I can see Marissa owning her own horse someday. She just loved riding these ponies.

Next stop...Carousel. This was a total old school carousel. It was probably the original and it went sooo fast. She loved it!

Next stop...Los Angles Temple

I love it when she does this face. I did the same face when I was her age.

Then we were off to Disneyland. Marissa dressed up as Minnie Mouse and everyone thought she was just so cute.

This picture is so funny...Marissa's hand placement??

I think she could have just gone around taking pictures with the characters all day. She just had to meet pinocchio.

Sully was a real treat. She ran right to him!

I think he liked her too!

Marissa loves Toy story. She is having a toy story birthday party this year where she will be dressed up at Jessie. She even changed into her Jessie outfit to meet her.

Finally Eric showed up. She just loves him. In fact all kids seem to. He is just so lovable!

Well we are now all alone but we are really looking forward to our trip to Idaho in July. It seems like forever since we have seen the other half of our family. We just can't wait. Baby Dane is doing great. I keep getting bigger...but my belly button keeps getting smaller. He is kicking away which I love. Eric felt him kick for the first time the night before he left for his hiking trip. Can't wait to meet him! Marissa already says she loves baby Dane and she is going to take care of him..even change his diaper. Just a few more months to go!
