p.s. the Ford is the shoeless one. none of us wear them. ever. well, sometimes we do.
grandpa geoff's favorite thing. trying to make the kids "trow up" on the hammock. luckily, he was never successful
sharing lots of popsicles
some of the grandkids being crazy
cute cousin buddies
grandma Cheryl's trampoline with cousin Ben
surrounding the laptop. entertained with pbskids.org
even grandpa's get into pbs kids. at least ours does.
FISHING! p.s. William and Jake LOVED eating their fish. "this is delicious"
boys eating a banana split from a "pig trough" $15 is a small price to pay for community ice cream
Only in Utah...parade floats with the Book of Mormon and a temple. Good to be back...
trying on grandma's reading glasses
enjoying William's homemade ice pops. literally. frozen ice in a cup with a stick.
ahhhh...the arms of a good friend. one of the best. Katie and I haven't seen each other for two years. We both FINALLY happened to be visiting family in Utah for the first time! Divine Intervention. We started our friendship in Des Moines, IA. We started with 2 kids each. I ended our Des Moines experience with 3 kids. Katie totally beat me. She left with 5. (twins!) She wins.
These guys were all best friends in Des Moines. William and Hallie were getting married. Jake and Maggers would never make the marriage thing work. They were both way to strong willed for each other. We were happy to see Lainey and Nomers play so well together. Best friends in the womb. Thier moms ate the same food, laughed together, cried together, and gained 50 pounds together. They had to have been friends in Heaven. We just know it.
Can you tell? We're Mormon.
swimming with the Fords. Cute Nomers and Maggers.
Baseball game.
this sums up my experience at the ballgame
at least the sno cones were good
swimming with my high school soccer buddy Laura and her kids. so cute. I love her.
she looks hot, me...not. But, oh well. We're still friends.
at church. Jake brought his pet crab, Maddie is posing, and Naomi just might be drunk. We're not quite sure. Suffice it to say, not one of our 6 children made it through the whole meeting. Naomi and Ty are well...two, Josh and Will started yelling at each other in the middle of the meeting over a spiral bound notebook, and Jake kept kissing Maddie all over...a little innapropriate. They are best friends, though.
the FINALE! Fireworks with great grandma's, cousins, fire, shirtless boys, and grandpa lighting matches with his teeth. Good Bye SLC. Until later...
Flying home to daddy. I paid for four seats. Unfortunately, we only used three.

Wonderful pictures. I need copies. We did have fun, although, William said the best thinga bout the whole trip was making tickets to the firework show on the lawn. So much for $90.00 fish. It was wonderful--funeral and all. Love, Nettie
