Nikki & Kirk Ausban

June 17, 2011

Oakland Temple

My handsome little man


My Family

Ashley is beautiful

My Sisters

Starlene, (mother of the bride) ALisa, Me, Crystal, Andrea

I love my little girl so much

i definitely think he has outgrown his only tie...

CJ found this tree and climbed up and down it over and over and over again while Nikki was in the temple

At the Reception at the Brookside Building-

My bro-in-laws are so silly!

These three have been inseparable all week!

As soon as we got home CJ sat down on the couch to take off his shoes... he didn't get that far...

Swimming at the Henrys

This week we went swimming at least 3 times, the kids fell exhausted into bed every single night.

Addy, Kaylee, Ashley are "B.C.F." they informed us. Best Cousins Forever!

Thank you Crystal for this great picture of Calin!

I was in the house when all of a sudden i heard a bunch of seals "barking". Uncle Jeff had convinced the kids they were seals and he stood on the side of the pool feeding them "seal treats".

I love my sister!

Popsicles are great for teething!

Mickie Grove Zoo

During our week of non stop fun we took the kiddos to the Mickie Grove Zoo to see the animals, have a picnic in the nearby park, and then back to the zoo to feed the Lorikeets.

some of the Lorikeets were so beautiful! (picture taken by Brittany)

Ashs new haircut by Aunt Starlene makes her look so much older! She definitely isn't my little girl anymore, she is definitely a "Tween"

Polly want a cracker???

(or more accurately a little cup of nectar)

Several lorikeets landed on CJ, arms, head, shoulders, and mohawk! I bet you cant guess what the lorikeet did next!...

The first time around the lorikeet habitat Ash didn't want a cup of nectar because she said the birds were going to pee on her so she just watched... until a bird flying over her peed on her arm she grimaced, cleaned off with soap and water, then said "Buy me a cup, since i've already been pee'd on!"

I highly recommend visiting (and feeding) the lorikeets, it was so fun.

Church Cleaning

Our family has partied so hard this week that before the wedding even happened all the adults and children were exhausted. The Tunquists, Berrys, and Crandalls learned that it was our family's week to clean the church the next morning. Knowing how tired everybody in the family was our 3 families went to help so we could bust it out fast and be done so we could rest (actually get some lunch and then go swimming at the Henry's- like I said we played hard). After we got the church done Gpa Stone surprised the grand kids with a treat of "3D Super Mario fruit snacks". They were excited and kept announcing when they had a mario, yoshi, luigi, etc.

Grandpas Rock! Sarra Crandall, Gpa Stone, Adian Stone, Stetson Berry, Addy Stone, Kade Henry, Kaylee Berry, CJ, Ash ... and of course the Super Mario Snacks!

Ash painting a canvas for her dad

This year for fathers day Ash wanted to paint her dad a picture. Ash and Gma Stone flipped through art magazines till she found one she liked, bought a canvas, and started painting. It was like pulling teeth getting her to come home at the end of the lessons she was having so much fun. Gma even taught her how to gold leaf her art! (that was Ash's favorite part)

Outdoor Movie Night

Our family has a new tradition in the past few years of during the warm summer nights we all gather our sleeping bags, pillows, lawn chairs, tents, etc and watch a movie on the TPD trailer with dads projector on the front lawn. It is even better than going to a drive in theater! You get to cuddle in your sleeping bags, the kids can run around if they want, fresh popcorn from Gpa & Gma's popcorn machine, and after the movie you get to sleep under the stars! I'm really glad we aren't one of those families that play advanced chess for fun!

We laughed our way through "Gnomeo & Juliet"

I don't know why Ash looks scared, it was a kid movie!



Crystal, Kat, and Lexi



Lexi couldn't find her beanie so she decided a clown wig would keep her warm...



Lexi, Addy, Ashley, Auston, Kade ready for the movie

At "O'dark:30" the next morning when all the sane people were sleeping the kids all climbed into Kade's tent and played thier DS's.

Nummy, Nummy, NUBI!

We love to go to NUBI Yogurt! The kids love to stick an equal amount of toppings and ice cream into their bowls. While Ash favors the fruit and crumbled cookies toppings CJ loves the sprinkles and gummy worms.

Cousin Addy & Ashley

The kids always eat their ice cream on the water fall outside the store.

I know I'm biased, but i think she is just the cutest thing!


Cousin Aidan & CJ

Thank you Aunt Leslie & Uncle Mike for the birthday Nubi cards! We love putting them to good use!
