Going Down To Buckeye

Mike's Aunt Pammy lives in Buckeye. We had a great steak dinner there and the kids loved all the dirt!

Uncle Ryan walking with the kids.

Monique "What are you drinking Grandma"? :)

Cheese.

Here is one of the big piles of dirt the kids love!




Dinner time

All that land that Alex could explore in. He is way back there and Monique is with Mike.

They found another hill!

And this little monkey loved to jump!

Elias Girls Trip

This is our 5th year where all the Elias girls get together for a weekend. This year we went to San Diego, we have been to Palm Springs, Prescott, Phoenix, & Orange County. Just a fun, relaxing weekend with all the girls to catch up and recharge in life. Washington here we come next year!

Memorial Day Camping

Another camping season has began!

We wake up and enjoy the scenery

This little girl didn't want to keep her shoes on!
All the kids playing. Bubba, Lexie and Audrie came camping too!!

What pretty flowers and roots!

My mom and dad even played a little catch.

Alex wanted to go play with them.

The little girls cooking!

They even sit alike!

We went for a little walk.

Lexie, Alex and Bubba

Relaxing in the shade.

My feet hurt for her.

Tia Chavela and Tio Jim stopped by and brought Alex and Monique warm stuff.

Thank you Tia! (is my dad sleeping like that? he better becareful he might fall off the deck)

Thank you Tio!

Everyone say Hi!!

"I need gloves to work"

And this was the clean face.

We did a little dancing...

And played a little music.





Alex has to wait for the right moment and then it is all over!


Taking off her shoes, again.

Monique and Nana

We saw a big rabbit.

Cooking bacon!

A moth landed on his flashlight. He better not eat it anytime soon!!

It looks like it is really windy here. Well, it was windy but not at this moment, this is true camping hair!

This was a good camping trip. Can't wait till next time!

Shoe Shopping

We went shoe shopping for Mike and I am sure the workers just loved us!

Learning To Get Dressed

I found Monique in Alex's room trying on his underwear. She almost got it!

Nap Time

Nap Time aways starts with going potty....

Well this time Alex asked Monique to read him a story.

Then he told Monique to lay down and he was going to cover her.


He gave her a stuffed animal and then took off to his room.

When I followed him to his room he told me I had to be quiet because Monique was sleeping. Little did he know she took off to the play room!
