Visitor

Scott's nephew, Mike, came and stayed with us
for 9 weeks this Summer. It was fun to have him. The boys still call the office "Mike's room". And Brycen often asks where Mike is, or includes Mike in the family prayer. We had a ton of fun while Mike was here.






We went to a Dodger Game. A first for all of us.











We went to the beach. Scott and Mike
went Boogie Boarding.









The boys jumped
waves :)


We went to Six Flags TWICE. Scott was able to sign Mike and I up as Chaperons for Grad Nite. We had a fun time. Thanks mom and dad for watching the boys. Green Lantern was supposed to be opened but since it wasn't we received Bounce Back Tickets. Scott once again scored and got a return ticket for Jacen. We went back with the boys -only costing us gas and meals- and had
a great time.


Jacen was 42" so he could ride some of the bigger rides.













His favorite was Flash.















Brycen was 36". Six Flags had a large kid section. Bigger than we expected from looking at the map online. They were in heaven.




My favorite ride was the last of the night Tatsu. No picture to show how awesome it truly was. (Mike and Scott actually rode it at Grad Nite, but I was too tired by 4am and needed to go get re-energized with our free buffet.) On Tatsu, your seat is brought forward like you are flying through the ride. Since we had the boys with us we got to take part in Parent Swap. So Mike and I stood in line for the 1 hour. Scott kept the kids busy and met us at the exit. Where him and Mike switch places, and I got to ride it a second time :) Did the same thing for Green Lantern, (and some other rides too) Scott and Mike stood in line, and we switched, wasn't really all that great if you ask me. We had a really great time if you ask us!! The only thing that could have made it better was no traffic and detours on the freeway at the wee hours of the night.

This is a video of Brycen's dance moves. A must see!! The song is MC Hammer's, Can't Touch This. It is hard to hear on this video for some reason, but is still so cute. Yes he got his moves from his daddy @ this

Also, we were able to go to the San Diego Temple. Mike got a job at KFC, and also took a trip with the Young Men to an Diamondbacks game. Thanks Mike for the fun visit!

So cute! Both of your boys have so much personality. I love Jacen's pre-school video too.

Thank you for putting pics of Mike's visit. We have only seen the games and the temple. Love Brycen's moves - what a doll. Jacen DEFINITELY has Scott's stage presence! I love your updates. Keep up the good work!!
