Summer Fun! Had Me A Blast!!

After attempting to wash the grape popsicle off Bodie's face and hands, he somehow managed to get stuck on the cabinet knobs!!

Telisa and Bodie with her childhood friends reuniting. Once they were rollerbladding up and down our street, building club houses, shooting hoops for hours on end, passing notes back and forth in class. Now they're facebooking, blogging, changing diapers and wiping runny noses and asking themselves,"Where did the time go?"

Since we were blessed with some out of time family visitors this summer, we had not one, but three backyard water adventures this year. I rented some rather large waterslides/ bouncy inflatables. They were a hit! Here's a few photos! Honestly, I could show about sixty more!! Stephanie, Mikel and Telisa -good times!!!!!!!!! Thanks for coming!

Grandpa Den and Grandma Kat looking (and FEELING) older every year!

Off to the rescue!!

Telisa announced to us on the 4th of July that she was pregnant again!! (I've got to stop believing my kids when they tell me they are either done having children or going to wait 4 years or so to have another baby.) I believe this is the fourth surprise pregnancy in our family. Anyway! This pregnancy has taken her down and out of the game for a couple of months, so Den and I flew out there to lend a hand. Busy Dr. Clay flew in from surgery one of my last nights there and we took some family pictures! Not shown is my favorite family picture which I'm saving for the Christmas card!

Love this!!!!

I have six amazingly talented daughters! Each of their talents are different and diverse, WHICH I LOVE! The talented Tristen made this purse for me for my birthday!! You really can't tell from the photo all the details that went into it. It's pretty amazing!! I had to share! Love you Tristen!!

The Peters Bros!

When Sara asked me to take picture of her boys, I was of course, delighted. Look at those faces!! We see Sara's face in Lewis and Treavor's face in Owen!! Cute boys all around!!



I know there is more photos of Owen, but Lewis is still a little camera shy! Next time buddy!

Photo Shoots!!

In August, eight years ago, these two cousins, Morgan and Cade were born 6 days apart. We had to do their photo shoot together, of course, since they have chosen to be baptized this year! I know I am a bit biased, but talk about adorable!! They came separately and their moms didn't plan on them matching. REALLY! (the orange tie and the orange flower in Morgan's hair)
