Have you ever seen such cute grandkids in your life? Well, aren't they cute even tho they are not yours.

Family Reunion

We just concluded our family reunion. We were blessed to be able to have almost all of our children here with us. We surely missed Scott , Brittany and Jackson(but life kicks in sometimes and limits us).
We had a beautiful lodge in Featherville, ID. right on the south fork of the Boise river. I will let the pictures tell the story.

We took Hunter with us to camp with my nephew and his family for a couple of days. He learned more about building a fire. (Pix 2) collecting frogs.... (pix 3) going in for the big one and finding it is deeper than he thought.
Pix 4-- getting to ride his cousin Marissa's dirt bike. He was so good and patient waiting for his turn. He even picked flowers for her to tell her thanks for sharing her bike with him. He loved riding . He was reluctant to get off even when it was dark.

We had an enjoyable time with family and being able to take one of our grandchildren. we hope to take more of them other times.

We look forward to family reunion.....

We are finally home . We have been to Red Mesa(as noted in the previous blog) . We then went on to meet our friends , the Wood's in Arizona(around Greer) We had such a good time with them.











We were with them for 4 days, we headed for PHX and the dry heat of the desert. We got there in time to see Cayden and Devan competing in a swim meet. What fun that was. I wish I could have been a competitor- as it was cooler in the water I am sure.

















Avery was there with her "Pink" umbrella and Mom and Dad.


The rest of the time we spent helping Brittany and Scott and of course Jackson move across the valley to Avondale. I had the most fun job--caring for Jackson. He laughs at everything and loves to be talked to. On Sun. we left with Jason and Tasha for Cancun.

boy!!!!!Have things changed on the airlines , they charged for the 1st bag, not music, no video(and it was a 4 hour flt), and we had to pay for any kind of food. $3 for just a snack. Oh well we got there in one piece--except for the bend in our suitcase frame.

We were at a very nice resort. good food and pristine pools. We went to Tolum and Xell-ha(shell ha__). that was very interesting and fun. the only draw back to the whole trip was the heat, and it was not a dry heat. I am sure it was 98% humidity. Oh my== everything was wet before we put it on.

We have been in Red Mesa since Tuesday. This is where we parked the trailer. Looking to the North we see that the rain in coming. Monsoon season is here. It is beautiful to look out at the La Platas'.



















I couldn't find LeGrand yesterday =so I went for a walk down to the valley below. and sure enough there he was ... try to learn to "witch for water". He and his brothers Brent and Sheldon had been doing some digging down there on an old "well " .. so they can get it up and running again. I had made him promise tht he would not dig in there alone. He had not. Here is what they got done on Wednesday.
This has been a trip down memory lane for LeGrand
He is so glad we came and I have enjoyed hearing his stories and doing some remembering of my own.
Here he is remembering a blue bird nest on the fence post by this tree. that was much smaller back then How much it has grown
These last two pictures are of LeGrand and his Brother Brent, outside the renovated "Bear Trap". The picture out our trailer door shows the hail on the ground after the storm. We are waiting for the sun to dry things out so we can get the trailer out of here before is sinks to a permanant situation.

We got a combo gift from our Children for Mothers Day and Fathers Day. It was compiled from our blog of our mission. What a great memory gift. We love you all.
