Grandparent's visit, Birthday Party, and the Naval Air Museum

We just had a great visit with Grandma and Grandpa Joyner and Mom's sisters - Aunt Danna and Aunt Diana. I will only be able to post the pictures I have on my phone because I don't yet have everyone else's photos of the week's events. 

Anna got a birthday card from the Baines in the mail. 

James and I took Lily and Aunt Danna and Aunt Diana to the lighthouse. The climb was a little too much for them to finish, but Aunt Diana kindly watched Lily while James and I climbed up. It was heavy going, but the view at the top is worth it!
The Navy Hospital where James works is on the horizon.

Grandpa played with Lily under the table.

Anna got to hit her birthday piƱata.

Lily got a whack at it. Aunt Diana is in the background.

We filled some water balloons at the birthday party.

Kylie and Alyssa were waiting for more water balloon ammunition at the Navy Boat Docks birthday party.

I didn't get any more photos of the event with my phone, but much fun was had by all!

This picture was taken just to make Aunt Becca jealous that she couldn't be there with us. :-)

We got to take everyone to La Hacienda for lunch - it was yummy!

Grandma took great care of Anna - during the entire visit! I was spoiled with lots of childcare. Everyone left Thursday morning leaving me with a very quiet and slightly lonely house.

This weekend was wild with the TBC Sunday School picnic and field day. James and I were in charge of preparing 130 hotdogs and 130 hamburgers with assorted sides. We rented an 82 foot inflatable obstacle course and a dunk tank and another bouncer. It was crazy and so much fun! I didn't take any pictures though. 

This morning James needed me to bring him something important at work, and he had Anna's car seat in his car so she got to upgrade! Thankfully we had one already from a yard sale. She is getting so big!

Lily in her seat.

Since we were so close by, we drove on from James' work to the Naval Air Museum.





Note: I tried to publish this post Monday but just discovered that it didn't work then.

Family Camp

Lily and Laura Alexander enjoyed each other greatly.

Anna and her church twin - Becca Alexander

I helped the Stearlys set up their tent since it is very similar to ours. It was fun!

We went swimming in Krul Lake both Monday and Tuesday afternoon. Anna looked so grown up sitting by herself!

I enjoyed the messages so much. Bro. Roth preached about the family on Saturday night, all day Sunday, and Monday through Wednesday evening. We weren't able to camp this year.  James was off of work Monday and Tuesday so we spent most of those days at Bear Lake.
