"Stay-Cation" day 2

For day 2 we headed out to thanksgiving point to spend the day.

First the dinosaur museum.

Playing in the tunnel with Hammpa.

The kids lived this water table.

They had buried dinos every where.

Mom your lost!!

All the cousins minus Sloane she was a little busy at the moment.

Digging for fossils.

After the museum we headed over to the gardens to look around and eat lunch. We rented some much needed golf carts to get around.

We fed these fish gold crackers they were going CRAZY!!

The ride was extra tiring for Enslie :-)

The kids LOVED!! this hill.

After the gardens everyone headed home for naps Madyson really wanted to come over and play with Erilyn. It was nice because she kept Erilyn entertained so we could get ready to have everyone over for some water fun.

We told every one to bring a bag with random stuff from the house to do little skits with it was fun to see what people came up with.

I think some one is just alittle tired.

10th Annual Hammond Family Reunion "stay"cation. Day 1

We started off with breakfast at ruths that place is sooooo yummy! Erilyn enjoyed her bear pancake ( it looked like mickey)

Then we headed to the zoo.

Erilyn made sure we didn't get lost.

hanging out with cousins and bears.

After the zoo we headed down town for lunch at the lion house and then to the planetarium we watched a movie in the dome theater. It is such a cool feeling to watch movies in there you feel like you are moving.

We were supposed to go to the aviary this day but time got away from us and it closed before we could get there.

Jaydans baptism.

On july 5th my oldest nephew Jaydan was baptized. His dad (my brother Kamrin) did an amazing talk about talk about baptism. There were 2 other boys who were also baptized so a family member each did something. Then it was time for the baptism Jaydan was so excited and all smiles the whole day. After we went to the black bear diner for some yummy food. After Travis took the girls home so I could go see a movie in peace and quiet with my parents and gran.

we snapped these pics Erilyn and London being little hams. :-)

Some of the crew at lunch.
 

The 4th of July.

The morning of the 4th I had fun dressing the girls up and doing Erilyns hair......

 

Then I made this yummy dessert it was supposed to be kind of a cake but it didn't quite turn out I think I know what I did wrong so ill try to make it again on the 24th but it was yummy!!

Once Travis got off work we headed out to my aunt Kds for yummy Dutch oven and of coarse swimming!!

She did this all by herself when she was done swimming.
Later that night we bought some fire works and invited my brother and his family over for some firework fun we didn't even do half of the fireworks we bought because our nice neighbors put on a 360 degree fire work show for us. We ate Slurpee's  and I pulled out  some glow sticks I had had for ever and kept forgetting about. About half way thru Erilyn zonked out so we just watched with the kids. It was a fun 4th of July!!

Fun times with cousins.

One day I was watching all of Erilyns cousins and I pulled out a bowl of fruit and quietly put it in the middle of the room and walked out they all surrounded it like they had never eaten a day in their life hahaha it was gone in minutes.

Sloane Elle Parker.

On June 27. when Jared wasn't a little early to drop off London I kind of knew something was up. At exactly 830 I got a text from Shaless it said; London wont be there today. :) I asked if she was her yet. Then  I awaited the text with a picture and stuff at 9 she said details soon. Then finally I got the text  7lb. 13 oz 20 inches. I was so excited I couldn't wait to go to the hospital and meet her she looks a lot like her big sis did but already has her own personality.
