The Wiggles went among the audience,
and we were up in the balcony.
Murry visited up here.  Orion got to talk to him.
He told Murry to tell Greg that Orion is Greg's fan.
Orion loves all of them, but Yellow is Orion's favorite
color, so that is why he loves Greg.
Greg is also the lead singer.

For our summer grand finale, we took the twins
and Orion to see the Wiggles!
This was a very big deal because not only
is this the final tour that Anthony, Greg,
Murry and Jeff will make together,
but Orion has watched and loved,
loved, loved the wiggles.
The wiggles is a show where they sing
songs and have the kids do actions and dancing with it.
It has been a great experience for Orion
because of his Cerebral Palsy,
he has used the Wiggles movies
as therapyfor balance and muscle tone.
It is intended for kids to get off the sofa,
and move and exercise.
 Moms love the Wiggles because of
their great music, and because it gets
kids off the sofa to exercise.
Oron has watched the Wiggles for 8 years.
The Wiggles also have a great sence of humor.
This is their last show together, and Ma was
so surprised that they concidered to come
to Albuquerque at all.  They have toured for 21 years,
and this is the first time visiting Albuquerque.
Although this will be their last tour together,
the Wiggles will continue to tour with a new cast. 
 
 

Last Day of Swimming at Bubba's



 


 


This is our last day of swimming for the summer.
Addi-Belle is still afraid of the water,
but Payson, Orion, and Bubba and Pa
have a fun time in the water.
Addi-Belle just watches from the side.
She had a near drowning experience
earlier in the year in Salt Lake,
 that left her tramatized.
She was in a floaty,
 and turned upside down in the water.
It took several minutes before someone noticed her,
and she was frantic by that time.
We are hoping
by getting her in or near water,
 she will eventually overcome it.

We Will See You Soon




It is so hard to say good bye,
expecially when you know it is going
to be months when we see each other again.
We love our Aunt Shatzi, Uncle Dave,
and Bria, Max and Logan.

Webster Family Visit (part 2)




 
 

We all went to Chick-fil-A to eat
a dinner and let the kids play in the
play area.
Although Ma had a dinner planned,
we decided that it would be better to
let the kids play because the Webster family
were planning on leaving in the morning.
It would be a long drive of those cousins
sitting for hours and hours.
This trip was an extra special one because
after eating our chicken sandwiches,
Uncle Dave and Pa surprised the cousins
with an ice cream.

The Webster Family Visits (part one)

July 17,  2012 
We were glad that we got to see our family again this year.
Shatzi and Dave Webster and their children,
Bris, Max and Logan came for a visit.
The first day here we got a rain storm.
It was a flash flood kind of thunderstorm.
This was the first time Dave got to see
this kind of storm where it seems like
the water just pours out from the clouds
like it was coming from a bucket.
Orion and Bria stayed on the patio to look at it.
Although it is hard to see in this picture, it is pouring rain.
July 19,  2012
Ma did not have any time off this time.  She usually
got home from work at 5:00 pm but Pa and Orion were home
and the twins, Payson and Addi-Belle were here as well.
Ma is the usual picture taker so there are not very many photos.
(Shatzi, do you have any you would like to share?)
 Each day was full of activities, even if it was
playing in the yard.
 
 


 
 
 


After Ma got home, we went to a parking lot
where the kids got to ride bikes.
or cars, we went to the park for about 30 minutes. 
 
That night, all the cousins got to sleep out
on the balcony on the air matress.
