Of course, life would not go on in our house without our visits to the see the Princesses...my children will happily wait in the 10 hour line it takes to get to them. (Cole is in love with Jasmine!) However, trying to get them to sit through a 1 hour sacrament meeting on Sunday is almost cruel and unusual torture.
We had some visitors this summer...My brother and his kids, Maddy and Luke and cousin Lydia came to spend a week with us.
Seth came too! He flew all by himself...we picked him up at the airport and after a few days of nonstop entertainment, we sent him back home to Utah. Brian says if anybody needs a little break from their kids, just send them up...we would be happy to take them. Brian just told me not to write that...people might think I am serious.
The animals at the LA zoo are really friendly! 
Are you kidding me?! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree in this family. Hopefully he gets Brian's temperament too.
So this is my one and only picture that I got from going to the finals of So You Think You Can Dance at the Kodak Theater...the sign says no cameras!? What!? And I was so excited to get a shot of me and Nigel...how disappointing. But what really ticked me off is when I got into the theater I found out everyone except me had smuggled their cameras in and where snapping shots left and right.
Ella learned how to swim this summer thanks to Tami! She loves her green googles.
The next series of picture took place within a time span of about 2 hours.
Ella's end of the year Preschool Party.
Owen, one of Ella's best buds...don't be decieved by the cute faces. They are Bonnie and Clyde when you turn your back.
How we do weddings here in California. After the ceremony, everyone was invited to strip down to their swimsuits for some sweet volleyball. Awesome!
Our summer gym class...Superkids. Cole's favorite thing to do was swing on the rings and give no one else a turn. It was awesome!

Okay, that video is awesome. Beth and I were cracking up. Equally as funny though was lil Cole sitting there looking like he wanted to jump out of the car. EB is growing up so fast.
So you didn't even get a picture of the SYTYCD finals with your cell phone? Beth and I went to the tour show out here in Indy. It was awesome - the best part was that it was me, Beth and three of her friends in a suite. I looked like a pimp (or a chauffeur). Philip's solo was unbelievable - he got a standing ovation.
We miss you guys.
Post more!

That Video is awesome!!! She looks so much like Bri but she is so your child! No denying who her mama is... :) Love the picture of Cole and Brian standing with their hands on their hips... I can't wait for a boy!!
Okay, so the video is hilarious and I love Cole just staring off into space. How is his hair so long? Are you not cutting it anymore? Are you going to grow it out surfer like Owen's was? The picture of OWen and Ella as Bonnie and Clyde was awesome and so true. We miss you guys.
Eveytime we hear this song now we think of Ella.
wow what a post! i loved it. i want to post on every single picture, but i will spare you. your kids are TOO CUTE! you are a babe! and i'm pretty sure that your daughter acts just like her mom! just like you said, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree :)
Rachy thanks so much for posting pictures of your ADORABLE children. How did Ella get so grown-up? Her video was so hillarious. How did you get it recorded? DOn't tell me you just recorded on your phone while you were driving. Good thing you were close to your destination or I am sure we all would have witnessed fender bender #16 or something like that. And your Cole is possible the most handsome boy ever. What a little heartbreaker. I can't wait to see you in a few weeks, I still can't believe I am coming!!!! Dream come true for me.
That is so your daughter!! :) I love it!! I think I just read in Karmann's blog that you were in Utah???? I'm so bummed you didn't let me know!!!
i think cole is the most handsome little boy! fun post sweet rach, glad all is well.
Rachel...long time no see! What a small world that you are friends with the Kelsey's. We have been friends with them since we got married 8 years ago! Your children are adorable. Hope life is going great! You look amazing as always!
if you guys only knew how many times we have watched that video you would be concerned that we were stalkers. Happy New Year.
