Visitors

We had family visiting this weekend and it was great.  We spent as much time together as we could yet it didn't seem to be enough.  What's sad about this is that some of our visiting family lives only 40 minutes away and yet we never see them.  The highlight of the visit was of course the baby.  We finally got to meet the newest member of the family: Brayden Shuldburg.  What a cutie pie.  He was always so happy and content.   Even when being held by Lexie.


You could tell he came from a happy home. Hearing him laugh with his daddy and my kids Saturday morning as I lay in bed almost made me miss having a baby and then I heard my kids and remembered that babies grow up.  I love my kids, but sometimes I wish they were back in the 8mo old age when they were all giggly and happy.
With a baby in the house I broke out the baby toys and not only did the baby love them, but Peter and even Evan enjoyed them.

And then there was granny.  So glad she came, but I can never seem to get a serious picture with her.  Maybe someday....


So much fun, but so little time.  Really everyone needs to move close by use (because we live in the prettiest area of the USA) so we can have family get togethers more often at least once a month.

Primary Olympics

It's summer or at least June, but do you think the weather cares?  Nope it sure don't.  The primary had this Summer Olympic activity all planned out and it rains.  All day long.  All week long.  The rain never stops, but that didn't stop us from having the activity.  It just all got moved inside instead.  
One activity was a ball pushing race.  With noses!

Even the Primary President (Aunt Brin) got into the game


Then there was tug-o-war



We also had a javelin throw with pool noodles and shot put with water balloons.  It was lots of fun and gave me ideas for 4th July activities.

Evan's Field Trip

The first graders took a field trip to a local farm and luckily Aunt Paige was in attendance.  Because of her we have these pictures of Evan.
