Yee Haw!

Waiting to have dinner at Texas Roadhouse, it was our first time eating their everytime we think of it it is so packed we don't want to wait. It was worth the wait quit yummy! The waiters and waitresses did a line dance and Brooklyn thought that was the greatest thing as well as dancing through her whole meal to the country music playing. I think she is gonna be our little dancing girl.

Oh No!

So Thursday it was time for Brooklyn to take a nap. I put her in bed and came back a little while later to check on her she was still awake playing with her toy cell phone. I told her, "its time to put your phone away and go to sleep." She looked at me with an irritaed look (which she is very good at giving dirty looks) and closed the phone. I slowly closed the door and was secrectly watching her as she opend the phone again and began talking on it and talking to her stuffed animals and babies. I told her I was going to take her phone away it was time to take a nap. Seh put it away this time and fell asleep.

As I walked out of the room I had a flash to the future moment of her 10 yrs from now talking on the phone to her girlfriends when she is supposed to be sleeping. Sometimes I forget she is only 2 1/2 yrs old she tries to be so grown up sometimes, it is amazing how quickly they grow up. I know we are in for it when it comes to teenage years. We will be doing lots of praying then I am sure!!

Some family fun time!

Now B was showing daddy how to roast a mellow. 

Yummy

Sugar high, she sat on the steps talking away signing songs. 

Cool girl with daddy's glasses. 

We decided to take a ride along the greenbelt it ended up being 18 miles round trip, but was so fun. 

We took a few stops along the way and threw rocks in the water. 

Then played at the park until we took the long ride back. 

Randy and Ursula came up after Bear Lake to visit us in Idaho. We went to Ricky's house to have dinner and the kids played on the slip and slide. 

Hannah and Claire rocking the slide

Lucy having some fun too! 

I watched Annde, and the girls decided to lay in the entry way just hanging out with their blankies talking, it was funny. 

I was letting air out of the air mattresses and heard the little girls upstairs laughing they thought it was so fun to jump on the flat air mattress. I think they thought they were doing something bad by jumping on the flat bed. They are so fun to watch together, when they decide to get along. 

Final days in Bear Lake!

Scott, Jack and Brian were still to small to do the golf thing, so they got to do the lunch tea with us.

Brooklyn loved the tea party too, especially the candy on the plates.

Happy Clara

More Lemonade please!

Ah the oldest cousins, Easton and Caleb

Every night dad would gather all of us to tell us a story about his family history and things that he did growing up. It was fun to hear the stories and to see how excited he was share them with us.

View from the floor looking up at the ceiling. It was cool at the time, looks better in person.

B and Clara going to be double trouble as they grow up

We drove over to the Idaho side of Bear Lake and went to the caves. It started pouring rain, thundering, lightening just as we were getting out of the car to get tickets to the cave. We hung out in the car until it was time to go to the cave.

Lucas trying to stay warm in his bear towel.

After carrying B up and down stairs in the cave, Uncle Randy took over holding her for a while.

Trying to capture the caves, difficult to do. It was pretty in the caves, just take my word for it.

Shelby so cute!

In the upstairs bathroom they had a normal size toilet and a kiddy potty. It was so cute, Caleb was helping show the size.

Most of the grandkids minus the ones that went to baseball/softball.

Easton did you push Caleb over the edge?

Thanks mom and dad for the great week, it was so much fun to be all together.

This was off the side of the road water coming out of the side of a mountain, it was crazy no signs of any other water around.

When I look it up I will add the name and some facts. I am glad the week went well and that we all got to spend time with each other and have a lot of fun. Thank you again mom and dad for the family reunion. Let's do it again!
