Family Beach Fun!

Jimmy's Sister Mila and her son Joseph came to visit us on the 2nd weekend in April. We loved having them at our home. They are both such wonderful people. We only wished they could have stayed longer and that the rest of their family could have come. They left on Monday afternoon but before going we all went to the beach where Joseph tried skimming for the first time. He did really well, only further confirming the fact that he is a very athletic person! Jimmy was amazing as usual and didn't sustain any injuries while pushing the limits on his skim board.






James spent almost the entire time, body board in hand, in the water with his dad and Joseph. He was freezing, due to his lack of any body fat, but wanted to be one of the guys!







Miss Makayla decided she really doesn't care for cold water and was very happy to just play on the sand and enjoy the ocean water from a distance!





James finally took a break from the water, due mostly to his mother telling him to take a break and warm up, and started a collection of seaweed. He wanted me to "keep it safe" and placed it right next to me, creating a pleasant smell. Yummy!!




This was baby Aleena's first trip to the beach. She spent most of the time napping but woke up for the last 15 min. to soak up some sun and check out the waves!












Conference with the cousins


On the Sunday of Conference weekend my side of the family all came to our house to watch conference. It was a great time with good food and family fun! The cousins all thought popsicles sounded like a great idea and as they sat on the edge of the trampoline I couldn't pass up taking these cute cousin photos.
