Weiss Sealing and Family in Arizona

  Caitlin and I drove to California and stayed at her parents house in San Diego to go to the Newport Beach Temple for Jody and Dieter's sealing to each other and to Maddison and Ceci.  They were sealed on January 17th and it was awesome!  The girls were both so good.  Here are some pictures of them outside the temple.

Ceci had changed a lot since we last saw her.

   After the sealing, we all went to BJ's at Balboa.  It was the first time I had been in a car going on the ferry and it was pretty fun.

Grayson was super funny during dinner and making crazy noises when he saw a soda because he wanted to drink it so badly.

Pizookie!

Here's one of Grayson before we left for the sealing. I think this picture is really funny!

   We all drove back to Arizona the next day and everyone stayed at my parent's house.  It was pretty fun, but pretty crazy too because basically everyone got sick at one point from this flu/cold type thing that was going around.

  We did a lot of fun stuff while everyone was here.  We went to the Natural History Museum, the aquarium, bowling, played at the park where we played a game from Brazil that Dieter taught us called Taco.  Jenny actually tore her meniscus playing.  We also spent a lot of time playing around the house.

Me up to bat. This game was really fun! I'm really out of shape though.

The family

My dad was helping Whitney scale the wall outside the bowling alley.  People outside thought it was very amusing.

 Here's some pictures of playing around at home. 

Grayson brought this book to the table where Caitlin was and handed it to her and started pulling himself onto her lap.  It was really funny!

Fun with Aunt Caitlin

The kids love playing with glass door to the pantry.

I had Grayson at dinner and he decided to eliminate the middle man and go straight for the corn.

We had a birthday party for Ceci while all of the cousins where there.  She got a lot of good gifts that Maddison was pretty excited about too!

Jenny and her kids and Dieter left.  Dieter went with them so he could fly out of California to get back to work.  Jody, Maddison and Ceci stayed for a while which was really fun.  Jody got to do a lot of shopping and returned a lot of stuff she bought, eat at Del Taco which she misses when she is in Dubai, and spend lots of quality time with us!

Maddison liked to sit on the counter and help Pop-Pop and Grammy with breakfast

Ceci was cute and would prance everywhere.  This may have been when we were having our snowball fight.

I went with Jody and the girls to Jump Street where they got to play on the trampolines.

I had some fun with a feature on my phone that lets me do sequences

Ceci didn't move as fast as Maddison, so she is in tighter clumps

It looked like Ceci knew what to do on Dance Dance Revolution.

We cooked smores one night and it was pretty fun.
