Rubadub tub three boys in a tub

Saturday night we spent the night at Jason's sisters house. So while we were there Jenna and I were bathing the boys and decided to just put them in together. It was a lot of fun to watch them play with the bubbles.

A bunch of really happy boys!

Parker's Farewell Party

Well we said our good buys to Parker in person for the next two years as he serves in the Halifax Canada mission. Parker is Jason's younger brother. We enjoyed spending time with the family. Jason's family is extremely tight and to have a member leaving is a bitter sweat moment. I remember when I met Parker he was just a little bit taller than me and just wrapping up his seventh grade year. His advice to us on our wedding day was to stay happy and that Jason would keep being a good big brother. Well the years have slowly faded by and Parker is now quite a bit taller than me and still telling us to just keep being happy. He is adored by all three of his precious nephews. I must say that I'm grateful to the church for this missionary program it allows 19 and 20 year old young men to grow into the men they can become. When we see Parker again he will be on his way to becoming the best man he can be.
It's the Alan Kjar men minus one baby boy. 
Such goofy guys and a lot of fun to be with.

Father and son's together for the last time till Parker comes home.

I think Parker was getting really tired of the camera at this point.

Josh and Parker

I love this picture of Parker and his nephews. They love him so much. Can you tell?

Josh and Eric are both drawn to the piano because their daddy loves to play for them. This was Josh trying to play us a pretty song while his brother tried to help him. I purposely had them matching I thought it looked really cute. The older Eric gets the more he is starting to resemble Josh. Funny how that happens.

Lake Powell 2010

We missed the annual Kjar lake Powell trip last year because I had just had a baby and was in no condition to go. This year we left Eric with my parents in Fresno and Josh Jason and my self went to the Park reunion first and watched a fun rodeo which I didn't take a single picture of. Then we headed down to Lake Powell for the Kjar reunion. It was so much fun. The whole gang was there this year minus Eric and Dilyn. Plus one boy friend of Jason's cousin. we knee boarded, Skied and crashed on the banana. devoured tons of really good food and had some memorable adventures. I love family and the opportunities to spend so much time together. Jason has an uncle that has twins Josh's age and the three of them played in the water or on the beach the entire time. When ever you looked over you saw the three of them together. It was a blast to spend so much time with Parker. He'll be leaving for his mission pretty soon and all Jason and I could think about was spending precious time with him before he leaves. I look forward to next year. Maybe then we'll have a extra member or two to the family through marriage to cousins. I hope everyone had a blast during the 4th.

Parker and Jason goofing around.

We got stormed on a couple of times and after each storm there were these beautiful rainbows.

Jason's cousins were so good to Josh they played with him non stop. This was Josie playing with him after his uncle gave him to much candy. Thanks again Parker. :)

Jason skiing on one ski and doing some jumping over the wake. 
I did try to ski and was able to get up and then fell down. Someday I'll get this skiing thing down. Until then I'll stick to the knee board.

Jason and myself out for a nice hike above our camp site.
