Jasterpalooza

Still playing catch up, but better late then never.

Over Memorial Day weekend, we were asked if we could watch our friends 4 kids while they partied it up in the Hawaii. We took on the challenge and had a fabulous time! Their last name is Jaster, so we started calling the weekend Jasterpalooza.

On Saturday, we took the kiddos swimming at our neighborhood pool.

Here's Jacob, Isaac, Jason and Graham. Side story: Graham couldn't remember Jacob's name. He kept calling him "that guy". Graham didn't like it when sweet little Isaac called us "Mom" and "Dad". It was weird seeing Graham get so possessive.

Sophie, Lucy, and Abbie

Here's Ben-O chillin' on the sidelines.

Sunday evening we made homemade ice cream. Here's Jason and Sophie waiting for the good stuff.

On Monday we went to the beach with some friends in our new ward here in Oxnard and then went back to the pool for more water time.

Our house was so quiet after all the kiddos went home with their Mom on Wednesday morning. My kids loved having constant playmates and missed them when they were gone.

We had 2 of the 4 from Friday to Wednesday and all 4 from Saturday to Monday. Church was quite the adventure. It was only our 3rd week at our new ward, so many of the members hadn't met us yet. I could see people counting the kids and trying to figure out how we had 7 under the age of 9. It got a little crazy at times, but we were so happy to have them! Hopefully our kids will be as well-behaved as the Jasters were when we leave them at their house in the spring ;)!
