Cousin Mia Comes to Visit

It's pretty much tradition that my niece Mia comes to visit every summer, usually around the 4th of July. This year she came in June just before our trip to Newport.
Check out Ari in the air in the background
How cute is this picture? I love it! 
 Picnic up the canyon and to feed the ducks
 I'm laughing about the Jimmy Johns bread, but it was only .50 cents for old bread and we didn't have any duck bread! Worked perfect!
 If you look closely in the above picture you can see how high our water is. There's a spot on the dock where some of the boards are waterlogged. Well, Ari didn't see that and stepped right there and went completely under to her waist! It was quite the catastrophe for sure poor girl! She was tough but shed a few tears
 They played a ton outside riding bikes, digging in the sandbox and swimming at the pool. I think Mia was enjoying the 20 degree temperature drop for sure!
 My kids love making pizza muffins, so we of course had to do that!
 And lots of crafting!
 Mia and Ari's aprons they made (well, they colored- Hailey sewed!)
 I didn't get pictures but the girls completely decorated their barbie house with curtains, rugs, pillows, bedding and more. Hailey was busy with her sewing machine and Mia was picking out all the matching colors. Since then, Hailey has moved onto a clothing line. She is SERIOUSLY getting pretty great on that sewing machine! It's so fun!
One last hooray late night
 It was a super fun and busy week -We love our Mia!
 Then we took her along with us and stopped in Vegas on our way to Newport California

Kevin's Birthday and Airplane Museum

Kevin turned 41 and we celebrated family style per usual

 Part of his present was a new helmet for his motorcycle, but he never did get around to picking one out so we wrapped up a lego helmet
The kids got a kick out of that, and he has since ordered a real one :) 
Lots of love
He also got some new sunglasses
 He also took the kids to the Hill Airforce Museum one day just for fun
 I guess Jay wanted a picture next to every single display lol
 And speaking of flight, Scott finished up an Aerospace Dynamics camp. You had to be accepted into the camp along with a referral from a teacher. He had the absolute BEST time ever! It was a week long and they got to solder things together, launch rockets, build and program drones and more. So much fun!
