Big Kyle and Casen

Auri’s Blessing weekend made for a lot of photo opportunities.  Loved recording these handsome, happy faces.

     

Big Kyle knows how to take his boy from pouts and tears to ear to ear smiles.

Summer Joy Boys

 

It’s the life.
Guess who came knocking at our door!  He opened and closed, opened and closed an undisclosed number of times while he was here.  The “Door Game” – so fun.
    
Had Caesar's pizza with the Pizza Buddies. . .
 
A favorite discovery for Casen this visit was Jay’s popcorn popper.  I’d hear him turning and turning the handle, making a great whispery sound.  One day, however, I heard it clank and rattle and came to see that he had taken the recipe up a few notches by adding “pipe” and "farm people” to the mix.
  

Our cowgirl came to reclaim her boy property and spent some fun time with us too.




 

Time to go home.

Scandinavian Festival

Cold and windy was the order of the day.

    
Lot’s of hand waving going on.  I think the Miss Manti gals were so dang cute.
Missy and Annie are cute even when they’re cold.
 

You can visit my new American Mom blog.  I just published my first post and it’s going to be all about  US history and government and politics and things we think are cool to learn about being American.

Hi Mom!

Hi Mom!  I’m just hanging out here at Grma’s and Grpa’s with them and the Uncs, driving my own car, whining and dining as I please.


      
   

“You see Officer, it was like this . . . “

“Of Course!” says she

Knock, Knock

Who’s there?

Mary.

Mary who?

Marry Me!

It is official – Neil and Caitlin will tie the knot July 20 (I think).  It all happened last night involving a little trickery, a 4-wheel mountain face drive, binoculars, and a “MARRY ME’ sign.




Ah!  Let the wedding games, errr,  plans, begin.  Yay for smiles and grins and laughing and dreams and plans and commitment and rings  and popping the question.  “Of course!” was her answer.
