Beach Camping Trip

We went Beach Camping this week. Every time we go camping I remember that I don't actually like to camp. But for camping it was a great trip. It was so relaxing going to bed to the sound of the ocean and seeing the sunset into the ocean. I am so grateful that I married the master outdoorsman because our kids just love that kind of stuff. Spencer is as happy as can be whenever we camp. For some reason there's just something about playing in the dirt and camping that makes him the happiest little boy. We missed Summer one of the days because a friend from church was allowed to take a friend to Disneyland for his birthday. So they picked Summer up for the day. She had a blast. This time she also got to go to Disney's California Adventure.

Happenings of this week.

We got a cute new dog. Here is a picture of him.

Summer has started playing basketball at the Kroc Center. She asked me if she could play...was I about to tell her no to basketball...of course not. She loves it and does quite well. There were 17 kids there tonight and 4 of them were girls. She chummed around with the girls and flirted with the boys. She had a blast.

Our kids have loved having Testimony Tuesdays and Thankful Thursday. Spencer has blown me away with things he is thankful for. He always says that he's thankful for the scriptures. Yesterday he said, "I know that the church is true and that the earth is pregnant." He has been talking a lot about Heavenly Father creating things, but I am not quite sure how he got that mixed up. We had a good laugh though.

Nephi is up to usual...making messes while I am cleaning up a previous mess that he made. I had a Presidency mtg at our house yesterday and a friend said, "I don't know if you care, but Nephi just took off his diaper." I can't even count how many times I have heard those words with all three of my kids. He loves to take off his diaper, squat down and pea. What is up with that??? Speaking of Nephi I just told the kids to see what Nephi is doing. Nephi crawled onto the table, squated down and munched on "my basketti" said Spencer. Spencer is notorious for not finishing his dinner, leaving an opportunity for our little vulture to come in and finish. I should probably go.
