Celestial Academy: Summer Update

Well, it's been some crazy summer!!!

GRADUATION!!

To start...Wally graduated!!!! I can't believe that I am the Mother of a high school graduate!! Where has the time gone?

Here's a picture of him right before he sang "God Bless America." He did an amazing job!!!

Right now he is across the country at BYU. We miss him so much, but I have no doubt that he is doing well, even if he might be a little homesick.

SAN DIEGO!!

Bond and I had the opportunity to go to San Diego, CA this summer! We were invited to my cousin's wedding and decided it would be great to celebrate our anniversary as well! Bond served his mission in San Diego and loves it there!!

One of the beaches (I can't remember which one) had seals all over the rocks. It was so awesome to sit there and watch them.

We also went to Sea World. Haven't been there for a long time!!

We also went to check out where the Mormon Battalion site was. Bond got to dress up like a soldier.

And, of course, we had to visit the San Diego temple! Bond's favorite!! They just finished building it when he was on his mission, so he was able to go on the walkthrough. Lucky him!!

And here's us together at the rehearsal dinner.

This sign cracked us up! We were walking through one of the outdoor malls and saw this sign. Look closely at the operating hours:

Sunday, they are open at 12:00am! Now that's service!!

VACATION-CEDAR POINT

Before Wally left for college, we decided to try to get in one last vacation. So, we headed up to Kalahari Waterpark and Cedar Point.

Here's Rocket and Chaos driving around town!

Rocket and Chaos loved this ride!! It gradually goes up, then drops you, then goes up higher and drops you, and keeps doing that. We didn't think they'd like it, but they kept wanting to go on it!

Top Thrill Dragster...That is a ride!!! I didn't go on it this time, but when Bond and I went last year he made me go on it! I'm glad I did, because I probably won't ever go on it again! This is Wally and Pokemon King. Even though it looks like we know that crazy guy sitting behind them, we don't. He saw me taking the picture and decided to take advantage of the photo op!

Rocket, Chaos, Bond, and I squeezed into this child-sized train. It was so cramped in there, but the boys had fun!

VACATION-KALAHARI!!

Wally loves having his picture taken!

But, not as much as Pokemon King!

I don't think Rocket likes his picture being taken!

What can you say about Chaos!

Dinodude was excited because he got goggles with his new trunks! He was rarely seen without them!

Chillaxin!

Mommy & Rocket.

Bond and Chaos.

Chaos made a new friend!

Worn out!

It was a great vacation!!

So, now to what's going on now:

Sports! Sports! Sports!

Broken bones! Broken Bones! Broken Bones!

In a period of 2 days, Dinodude broke his thumb playing football and Pokemon King broke his wrist playing soccer.

Those are my crazy boys!!!

Pokemon King broke the same wrist about 5 years ago by jumping off of a swing. That time, he actually had to have surgery to put pins in. He had broken both wrist bones and every time they popped one bone into place the other would pop out! Fortunately, this one is not as intense.

Right before football season this year, Dinodude broke the pinky on his same hand! So, he went into football with a broken pinky and came out with a broken thumb!
