My mom was watching the kids for us while Darren and I were at the temple. Naomi and Cassidy started playing with my moms medical supplies. Naomi totally wrapped Cassidy's leg up put a fake breathing tube in and started her on medications. The funny part is Cassidy laid there like she truly had to be tended to. Good times!
We went to Disneyland with our dear friends the Clarkes. Naomi and Rocky are inseparable. Naomi brought her poster and got selected in Jedi training to fight Darth Vader. It was a lot of fun. Our friends the Youngs also meet up with us for a few rides.
Cassidy started scootering this week. Her older brother and sister ride theirs all the time so Cassi just decided that she's gonna do it too. She picked it up right away. We went for a family ride and she keep right up.

All cozy in our robes.

Cassidy got on a bike and started riding. Way to go girl.
Naomi loving her new shoes.
I haven't posted for so long I decided to put a few in just for fun.
Our kids were like honorary team members.
Naomi was so excited over the trophy. She has watched her brother bring home trophies from his soccer league and coveted them. So when she got to hold the trophy for the men's league she didn't want to let it go.
Ted always gives the trophy away at the end of the season. No one really wanted it this time so he came over to Naomi as we were leaving and gave it to her. She slept with it all the way home. For days we had to keep it on the kitchen counter so she could look at it.
Darren played in a Men's 30 and up soccer league this summer. He played with his friend Ted who he's played with for years every summer. He also got his brother Derek to play and his friends Dan and Todd. We had fun going with the kids to watch the guys play. They ended up taking 2nd place in the league. They were tied with 2 seconds left and the other team took a wild shot that went in. It was so disappointing. But they had a fun season.
Cassidy's friend Savannah had a birthday party where they got to make their own princess hats and have their faces painted. They went dressed up as princess. Naomi got to tag along since her beau Rocky was going to be there as well. They looked adorable.
For those of you who have seen Madagascar 2 it has become a Drago family favorite over the summer. Moto Moto sings this song as he's coming out of the water saying, "I like them big, I like them chunky, I like them big, I like them plumpy. I like them round with something something..." Since Libby is such a chunky monkey we started singing it to her and she laughs when she hears it. So it became her theme song. Now Cassidy walks up to her and says "You huge girl!" It's fun for now. Wish that being chunky was cute at my age!!!
Hands down Naomi is one of the most imaginative children I know. Did I mention she is so stinkin' cute too. She busts out her giant drawing pad and starts taping and cutting all this paper. She's putting stuff on the wall and then tapes this sheet of paper to her. She then asks me to tape one to her back. It's her cape. She told me she is Super "N" and this is her costume. (Like we don't have any of those in the house) but she wanted her own "real" costume. So she made it. I love it and love how she is so artsy/craftsy.
Marley, Kyleigh, and Naomi having a blast.
Malachi was being taught how to surf by Kyle Kuzma. Here is a picture of him getting up on the board.
We keep Libby in a little pool to keep her safe from the sand.
