Family, Friends and tons of FUN!

It has been a VERY busy week so I have a lot of catching up to do. We have had tons of fun with family and friends and have lots and lots of pictures to share. (please bear with me, this could be THE longest post EVER!)
Soooo lets get this party started!
It all began last Wednesday when the Nash family came to town...
Thursday we hit the beach with kids in tow for a little Knuckleheads photo shoot. Melissa was able to get some great pictures and the boys had some well deserved fun in the sun!
We also met up with Taber and Jenna and family who came to join the party! Yeeaaa! Porter and Otto working up the courage to jump from the lifeguard tower Porter thought he would strip down and show off his muscles.. and his "skateboard belt" Phearson sporting some comfy Knucklehead P.J.'s
And OF COURSE thought he needed to taste out the sand... AGAIN!
Redge didn't want to be left out and also took a taste test!
Phearson making his move on Collin in front of the cameras
Score?!
Oh but the fun didn't stop there!
Friday night, with the Nash Families, we BRAVELY took our WHOLE family to the Dodger game. Total count... 7 adults and 6 children (under the age of 4)! I wish that I had gotten a picture of all of us because as you can imagine it was a site to see! Nevertheless it was tons of fun! We sat in the "nose bleed" seats, all the way at the very top! The boys had a blast and we managed to make it past the 7th inning stretch before deciding that we should leave early to miss the crowds and the traffic. It was Porter's first MLB game and he hasn't stopped singing "Take Me out to the Ballgame" since! Here we are... at the top! Otto, Porter and Phearson living it up!
Baseball... A Soda
And Cotton Candy = 2 Happy little Boys!
Sunday was Tav's Blessing. We were lucky enough to have so many family and friends come and be with us for Tav's special day. Tav was given the sweetest blessing by his Daddy! Thanks to everyone who traveled far and near to be with us to celebrate this wonderful baby boy!

The Fab Five!

(Tav rock'n the wild hair of course, even on blessing day!)
It was fun having my brothers and sis here!
The girls
After the blessing we had a little party... For those of you who are familiar with my family you know how many BOYS there are... so as you can imagine the poor little girls at these parties have to find ways to entertain themselves!
Ruby trying to make fun out of the beat up, partically broken, tractor ride toy.
Emily just making due with a big chunk of ice! Oh but the parties don't stop there! On Monday it was this kid's 35th birthday!
Everyone was so excited to celebrate Matthew! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this guy!
Life just wouldn't be the same without you...
Best "Boy friends" forever! Today we spent one last fun afternoon down at the beach with Derek, Krystal and little Lincoln before they head back to Utah.
