the rest of june 2016

tess' hair grew long enough so we could put piggies in! quite the accomplishment. 

tagg worked very hard on his hedgehog presentation. he had to do a power point, book, and diorama all by himself. and then present it to his class (with a question and answers forum at the end!). he did so great. 

celebrating the end of second grade with his best buds.

celebrating the end of a random day with my best bud, a molly moons ice cream cone.

it was a great baseball season this year. the boys learned a lot and had a ton of fun and tess loved going to the games.

go tagg! 

showing off for his teammates.

random sunday. tagg wasnt feeling picture time.

tess and justin beaver. soulmates. 

sully graduated from preschool. so of course i took him for donuts and gave him a graduation cap straw. ha!

he looked so freaking adorable in that cap and gown. and was so proud/shy. a great combo.

miss judy and miss jessica. he had a wonderful three years with these two lovelies. so many fantastic memories and he learned sooooo much. but sully is READY for kindergarten. the countdown started about a year ago.

the night of sully's graduation was also our eleventh wedding anniversary. ily, craig!

since school got out there have been a loooooot of smores happening around here.

tagg's first raingutter regatta. tagg and i had a fun time working on his little boat and not such a fun time losing. oh well. theres always next year. :) 

happy birthday craig! delicious safeway cake is our way of showing you we care. 

and taking you to the owner's box at the mariners game! thats bill gates' dad behind us. it was such a fun night. 

all the random candy you could want and a great view to the best sport on the planet. my kind of night.

we love visiting our favorite dinky splash pad. that orca whale splashing water never gets old.

tess ran around like a lunatic.

and tried to drink the water. ew.

i love these two.

we finally got a girl who laid a brown egg for us! we were only mildly excited. ;)

shhhhhhh, justin beaver. tess wants to push you in the dolly stroller. 

our friends invited us over to their gorgeous pool and tess was pretty happy about life.

dineyland, epic stomach bug, pool.

we flew to california a couple weeks ago to attend my niece's wedding. we were very excited to see everyone aaaaand take tess to disneyland for her first time. 

after we landed in orange county (and ate at javiers) we checked in to our hotel in newport. tess and the boys loved the mini golf course. 

and the pool table!

nothing beats a warm evening in orange county.

the following day was DISNEYLAND! the weather was perfect, the food was fantastic and the crowds werent that bad. it was a fabulous day. 

pirates! we were so happy tucker was able to meet up with us in california. 

i ordered tess' princess dress from etsy like six months prior to us going to disneyland. and it didnt disappoint. 

princess tess!

there is nothing better than a ride picture. sully's face!

aunt brooke! we love her sooooo much. and thunder mountain. :)

tess was such a good girl the entire day. she even took a couple cat naps in her stroller.

it was such a magical day. we tried things/rode attractions we had never done before. like the tiki room. it was so fun! those singing birds and that dole whip.

space mountain. we did a really good job at planning out our day and getting the appropriate fast passes. we never waited for more than 20 minutes. hence the smiles.

again, sully's face.

brooke and my mom. haaa i love it. and the guy in the back with no teeth.

twinners!

taking a break under the shade.

one last time on pirates. we love the drops.

such a wonderful day.

followed by a not so wonderful night. craig, tess, sully and i got the stomach flu. so gross (especially because we were sharing a room with my parents, aunt brooke and tucker) and sooooo depressing because the next day we missed samantha and tim's wedding. we couldnt even lift our heads off the pillows. lame. the day after the wedding, saturday, we were feeling a little better so we headed down to brookes house in san diego (stopping by fashion island on the way).

that night we had dinner at fashion valley. (a different 'fashion' mall. haaa) i realize this picture is blurry and tess looks mad but i like it.

sunday we went and visited our old ward. 

girls. tess' face!

birthday boy with his favorite the-more-sweet-chemical-taste-the-better cupcakes.

tess' first 'cheese'.

shanna came up that evening and made us a delicious puff pastry dessert. it was very fun to all get together. david's stories are the absolute best. 

fins with ga!

tess had a difficult time sleeping in (rude) while we were at brookes. guess she didnt want to miss a minute of the sunshine.

pool time baby.

craig and tagg went home sunday night so sully, tess and i had a couple extra days to play at the pool and eat thriftys ice cream.

and play with uncle scott and pete!

smoooooooooores.

on our last day there my dad took sully to the zoo. it was a perfect day and sully LOVED the skyfari.

girl time at the pool.

tess loved the firewood holder.

and she was feeling it in my sun glasses. so getting sick and missing the wedding was super sad but we still had a little fun at disneyland and the pool.
