Talk about a PARTY!

My brother Derek really knows how to throw a party! He had one son coming home from his mission and one son leaving on his mission so he invited us all to DISNEYLAND! WOO HOO! We played at Disneyland for a few days and spent a day at the beach and then sunday had a big family BBQ after the homecoming/farwell! It was so great to hear from my two nephews - I am so proud of them what great examples they are to my kids! This has been the summer of cousins and we loved it! Jackie and Justin got to get away for a day and spend it with all of us at Disneyland and we made the most of that day - 16 hours - we were there from beginning to end! It was a great week!
Garrett and Taylor! WE LOVE THESE BOYS!
Two of my sisters and my cute little mom
They are really going to miss each other! Goof balls!
Here is the whole crew!
The pool at the house we rented - this is Cade and Grace
Grandma and Grandpa Johnson came to Disneyland - Grandpa even went on the rollercoasters!
Soaked after the Water show!

In line at SPACE MOUNTAIN!
I was making Grace go on California Screaming - I don't usually do this but she had decided the day before that she was going to go on it and in my defense she went on Tower of Terror - TWICE! Which is much scarier than screaming. After she was done she loved it and we had to go on it 5 times! My sister Shannon was so proud! She is so hard core! She makes her kids go on everything whether they cry or not! The funniest was later that day she was talking to Olivia (my sister Shannons 5 year old) and told her "Olivia, one day your mom is going to make you go on something that you think is so scary and you are going to be so scared and cry but after your done you are going to love it and want to go on it a lot." She didn't know we were listening and we laughed so hard! She is so cute to impart her great wisdom to her little cousin! HA
California Screaming
Taylor caught a sand crab
He is teaching Grace how to catch them - I believe cade, grace and Hailey caught about 50 of them and made a crab city out of sand
It was such a great day!
