Cutest grandkids in the world!

Soccer time for Colby

I just happened to catch this sweet moment with my iphone.  The girls were crawling around and all of a sudden they stopped and reached for each other.  Awww so cute.

Cute Cameron

Bailey's new haircut - love it! 

Our Jax

My great-niece Kristin's wedding in Wisconsin

Andrea and I went to Milwaukee for Kristin & Jonathan's wedding in September.  We had a great time and I got to see a lot of my relatives back there.  The weather was very cold, which meant I got to buy some Wisconsin sweatshirts - because I kept finding cute ones!
The bride-to-be Krisin, my sister Lee, Andrea, Katie & Cyndy (Kristin & Katie's mom, Lee's daughter & Andrea's sister - got it?)

Jonathan & Kristin the night before their wedding

Jonathan's grandparents are from Norway and he grew up with a lot of traditions.  He decided he wanted to wear something Norwegian so drew up an idea and gave it to a seamstress.  This is the outcome.  We all thought he looked like a prince from a Disney movie - very handsome.

GG comes for a visit!

 GG, Delaney, Eliza & Colby



She helped us feed the girls even though she could hardly see where Eliza's mouth is! She loves being with all the babies though and is sad when she thinks about having to leave them.  I think they are a big part of the reason she's still with us. ;)

GG & Cam

State Fair

Jeff and I take our grandboys to the fair each September and this was the first time we've had more than Jax & Bay to take.  Colby got to come since he lives here now and we had lots of fun showing him the animals and watching him ride all the rides.  He surprised us by wanting to ride the "big kid" rides with the boys and he loved them!  He went on rides that neither Jeff nor I would ever go on.  It was a good time for all of us.  Even if Jaxson did get sheep snot (sorry not a good word but it describes it best!) all over his shirt when one of them sneezed on him.  We laughed ourselves silly.

Cam got to be with us for the first few hours till his dad finished working.  He was an angel baby as usual.  Next year we may have to take reinforcements with us because we'll have the twins too! 




Cutest boys in the world!

Josh and his girls

We love it when they come for a visit.  We were lucky to have them live with us for a couple of months while they were waiting to move in their new house but it sure was when they moved out.  I'd gotten used to being able to give them 500 kisses a day!  Jeff keeps reminding me that to go visit them it's only 30 minutes in a car - not 6 hours on a plane!  

Scooting around

We bought these in July and have had tons of fun on them.  I just got my license last week (boy was I nervous taking that test!) so I'm legal to drive anything up to 249cc's.  These are 150's so watch out world!  Jeff and I put a few hundred miles on them and plan on lots more.  Once, we drove them up a mountain road and then went on a hike.  The drive was quite rocky and full of ruts - probably not a good idea for the scooters.  Live and learn.
We chose different license plates for them so we could tell them apart.  The one with the arch on it we call (appropriately) Archie.  But we haven't named the other one with the skier on the plate.  Any suggestions?

And again.......more!

Jake and Lacey graciously spent the first couple of days of their honeymoon with us!  They hiked with us and were our tour guides.  Thanks again guys!  It was great to have a little more time with them.  They even slept on the living room floor of our condo one night!  When we got up in the morning and they had the twins and Abbie in bed with them.  I said, "I'll bet you didn't think you'd have 3 babies in bed with you on your honeymoon Lacey!"  They loved all the kids and had as much fun as we did - I hope!

 This is El Capitan.  Jake climbed this and when his brothers saw it for the first time on this trip, they were blown away that he was able to do that.  I don't think any of them imagined how awesome it was until they saw it in person..  
 Melissa hiked all over the park with us and never complained once.  I'm sure she must have been uncomfortable but she didn't want to miss out on anything.  What a good sport!







A lap full of love!
Guess you know who everyone is so I'll quit adding so much under the pictures.  I keep finding more photos of our time in Yosemite but I'll never get caught up if I add more!  Suffice it to say it was beautiful and tons of fun.  
Thanks for going everyone!  Love you all.
