We have fun skyping with Shaun's family ... the

kids get silly, and it's a fun connection!

Grandpa Tad feeding Annie some ice cream.

She is an enthusiastic participant for sure!

Appropriate he should share since she got that

ice cream gene from him!

Pieces of Summer 2009

We went to Three Forks to visit Justin and Andrea and the family.

The kids love Auntie Jenna and Auntie Krissa

We went to Virginia City

We all rode on the old railroad.

In July, my Aunt Lucille and Uncle Bob came from Texas

to visit. We had a bbq, and enjoyed their time here.

Lucille is my mom's sister.

Krissa pulled the kids around in the wagon that's usually

used for yard work. They had fun with the improvised ride.

Liam

Jaci

Dylan

Brayden

Jenna & Krissa ... nice to have a sister to love!

They were admiring all their hard work placing bark

in the yard. They did a good job!

In Seattle with Shaun & Krissy's family

Whitney kept coming up to me and saying,

"Grandma, I want to hold you!"

So fun to be held by Whitney! ;o)

Happy Annie!

Mount Rainier ... can you see it? (It's kinda

small in this pic, but we've been there and not

seen it several times so we became obnoxious

saying "There's Mount Rainier!")

At the zoo ... Liam, Whitney and Isaac

Don't know the lemur friends' names.

conveniently stopped by. Happy kids!

Blessing day for Nathan Tad -

Krissy, Nathan, Isaac, Shaun & Whitney

Jenna's 21st birthday occurred while we

were traveling. So we celebrated with chocolate

cake and her new favorite, apple pie!

Grandpa Tad and Grandma Paula with Nathan

Quick trip to Vegas for Tad to check our some equipment.

Of course we had to go to In-n-Out. This was at 10:30 in the morning

there, and there was already a line and the first of several limos we

saw. A double-double is obviously an addiction shared by other people.

We stayed at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas

Jenna at the Las Vegas Temple

Sadly, Krissa could not go to Vegas with us since

she was trekking at Martin's Cove with our stake.

She had a great experience though, and we're glad she

could participate in that.
