So on our last day we went to Long Beach it was awesome this is the kids walking down the beach they had so much fun Issy didn't really like the water too much but Timmy and his Cousin Christena had so much fun sitting on the beach and letting the big waves hit them, the waves would hit them and turn them around backwards it was really fun to watch they all had fun. The kids built an awesome sandcastle and Grandpa Smith built a toilet with a floater to go in it. It was funny I wish I had a picture but that is one picture I just didn't want. Hahaha.

This is Mackey, Timmy, and Allyssa petting the sharks, they were just little ones but they were cool there was a girl that worked there that was actually walking around in the little pool with the sharks and other fish talk about crazy but they didn't seem to bug her. The kids had alot of fun at the aquarium except Issy, she just didn't want anything to do with it, it was kind of funny.

Cool Fountain at the entrance to the aquarium.

Last day of Disneyland Issy and Allyssa all tuckered out from playing and shopping all day. But we had a blast.

I just thought this was a cute picture of all the little girls, from left to right, Olyvia, Issy, Juju, and Savannah. Olyvia started this she was trying to find the smallest hiding place she could so that when her Mom and Dad came back from shopping would think she was lost. But then all the girls thought it was a good idea and decided to join her. By the way this us under the San Francisco Bridge in California Adventure.Well I have about 500 more pictures I could share but that would take the rest of the year. Needless to say we had alot of fun with Grandma and Grandpa Smith and all the cousins. Thanks for the fun memories.

Ok so heres some more Disneyland, the header picture is everybody that went. Yes there are 17 of us and yes we were all wearing the same shirts. The teenage girls were not very happy about it but it was alot easier to keep track of everyone. So this is all the kids and Tonja and Grandma at the end of Soarin California. This was an awesome ride I could have ridden it all day and been happy. This was at the end of our own private ride we had the ride to ourselves. You may be saying why,I think they can fit something like 50-100 people on this ride but we got it to ourselves. The reason is, is as we were standing in line for it an old lady standing in the line next to us passed out and so Tonja being a nurse came to the rescue. Thats right she got to practice her nursing skills, she tested her blood sugar and took her pulse and stuff like that mostly she talked to her to make sure she was ok, it took about 15 minutes or so before they finally got some medical personel their to take over, so we patiently waited for Tonja and then we got our own private ride it was awesome, and it was awesome to see Tonja in action.

Grizzly Rapids, Issy was so excited we were in the same boat with my brother Jake, his wife Debra and their little girl Julianna fondly referred to as Juju. It was a blast and the two little girls got soaked but so did the adults it took me almost all day to dry out. But it was fun, we would have done it again but it got cold later.

Issy's favorite Minnie Mouse, we were so lucky to get to see Minnie everybody told me that Minnie is the hardest character to get to see but we walked past at the perfect time there were only about 5 people in line but by the time we got done doing pictures with her there was about a million people in line.

Ok so heres the latest and greatest of the Tomlin family adventures. We just got back from Disneyland, what a way to start your summer. We had a blast, our trip started at Grandma's and Grandpa Smith's house at 5:30 am so that ment that my family had to leave our house at 4:30 am. This is Juju and Issy, bright eyed and ready to take on Disneyland. They both stayed awake the whole drive Issy never stopped talking we were so ready to be done and get to Disneyland. Grandma was so fun she had goody bags for everyone with little coloring books, crayons, snacks,tissues, and all sorts of stuff she even had one for all the adults it was alot of fun.

This is our first day look at alll those happy faces, the kids were really excited, unfortunately Juju got sick not to long after this so she kind of had a miserable day, but the rest of us had a blast.

Heres the whole family, the teenage girls were not amused at having to wear the same shirts as everyone else but they still had fun.

This is one of the only rides Juju went on the first day, Issy was so funny she wanted to be Tonja's buddy so bad so whenever she could she would ride a ride with her, Juju hadn't gotten sick yet but she did get sick it was really sad, but the next day she was better and had a blast.

Issy and Allyssa on Splash Mountain, Issy loved every ride and rode them all, she never cried or anything she just would say lets do that again or lets do another ride it was so fun. All the kids had a blast. We did a lot more and saw alot more I will post more later this is just a little bit of what we did. We had many adventures people pucking, people choking, people passing out, Tonja got to practice being a nurse, it was awesome I will tell those stories later.

Well it has been awhile since I have posted anything we have been busy busy busy, to all you parents out there it just gets worse the older they get. They think they have to do everything and have everything, so we are busy and poor because these kids are expensive. Well a month ago Issy had her 4th birthday, she was so excited she kept saying she was going to have a party and she would name everyone she was going to invite and what they were going to do. So of course we had to have a party because you just can't say no to a 4 yr who knows what she wants. Ok maybe you can but I can't. This is her friend birthday party, it was all Mickey Mouse she loves Mickey Mouse, so we played Mickey Mouse matching and pin the nose on Mickey Mouse it was quite fun, then we had Mickey Mouse cupcakes, and played her new Just Dance for Kids,( by the way excellent game for little ones.) It was a lot of fun and not too many tears shed.

This is her birthday cake I thought I was going to have enough cupcakes for the family party but that didn't happen so we went down to Walmart and this is the cake she picked, yes it is How to Train your Dragon. We had a lot of fun at both parties and yes she is spoiled.

The other thing that has been going on is Allyssa was in the school play "Alice In Wonderland."

Now this is not even my favorite movie so I thought how good can the play be, well the answer is it was great. Her friend Kristen was in it with her and they had so much. The costumes they are wearing they got at the DI we spent all day at the DI one Saturday and this is what they ended up with, it was awesome. And did I say of course my daughter was the star of the show. Not really but in my eyes she was. Love you Lyssy Loulou.

So here is more of our goings on in our family. In the last two months as many of you know Timothy has had his share of accidents. The first was exactly one week before pictures. He was running on the playground at school, and him and his friend turned around at the same time and smacked right into each other. Timmy got the bum end of the deal, they hit heads and Timmy ended up with this wonderful shiner, it was also the day of his pack meeting this is him with his shiner recieving his wolf badge.He missed a day and a half of school because his eye was swollen shut and he couldn't see. The end of September we went to Capital Reef with Bryan's Mom and Dad it was alot of fun. Bryans Mom and Dad actually bought us a little pop up trailer so we didn't have to sleep in a tent it was great and definately alot warmer then a tent. Mackey was able to pass off all his stuff for his outdoors men badge for Webelos so that was cool. This is a picture of him building a fire. It was awesome. Their is a picture further down of the fire later in the night it was amazing these people we were camping with just kept piling on the logs.

We went on a hike through the Grand Wash it was a nice walk, although the sign said it was only 1.3 miles and in actuallity it was 2.5 miles needless to say Issy and Logan were exhausted by the end but they were troopers they just kept walking we kept them busy looking for lizards and cool rocks.

Issy loved the dirt she must have played in the sand for hours, she was so dirty we hooked up the shower outside and stood her in a rubbermaid tote and washed her off it was great this little girl was in heaven. Oops bum crack she had a little problem with her pants they just wouldn't stay up and I couldn't resist.

Cooking hotdogs over the fire and theres that awesome fire Mackey made.

Wow is that awesome bed hair or what Issy always has crazy hair but this was exceptional so I just had to take a picture she had just woke up and was just as happy as could be.

This is the ride home I can't remember exactly where we were but it was stinky and I looked back and there was Issy holding her nose sound asleep.

Okay so exactly 2 days after we got back from Capital Reef Timothy crashed on his bike on his way to school. I was already at the crosswalk, luckily he crashed in front of the neighbors house. He was wearing a helmet or I am sure we would have been at the hospital as it was he broke his two front teeth. He did not knock them out but he cracked them and they were on the verge of falling out alot of crying and 3 dentists later, he had a splint on 3 stitches in his lip and a big fat face. This is a picture of the aftermath his nose was not broken thank goodness but we still have a ways to go. Oh and did I mention he could not eat solid food for 4 weeks nothing he had to bite into. So not only did I have to come up with something for Issy to eat because of all her allergies I had to figure out what Timmy could eat too, it was great. He is doing alot better he can eat now as long as he is not biting directley into something. They did a root canal on both of his front teeth they are hoping to save them at least until his jaw stops growing witch by the way for boys is not until they are 18 yrs old.

And Last but not least we had Allyssa's 14th birthday yes that is right she is 14 yrs old. I can't believe it. She is awesome, she is doing great in school and is involved in alot of things at school.We are very lucky to have her as a daughter.

Ok I did it again well start at the bottom if you want to read this in order these are som pictures at the Tautphaus Zoo in Idaho Falls. It is not a big zoo but it is fun Issy thought the goats were stinky, but they had fun feeding them.

These two pictures are at the Snake River with the Idaho Falls temple in the background. It was a beautiful day a little windy and chilly by the river but beautiful. Bryan and I got to go do sealings in the temple the night before. It was probably the best sealing session we have been to the sealer was great. We were doing family names for another couple that was there. We did about 75 names it was amazing and tiring.
