Play Ball...

Every year my dad plays three weeks of Baseball(not softball) with guys he use to play with when we lived in Utah. Its fun to watch as he plays in the younger and older league tournaments. I know the grand kids had a great time playing and watching their Papa play ball! Marlee and Bromley had a great time cruizin around together on their trikes; while Josie and Weston just crawled around.

Schnepf Farm

One night, we were hanging out with Ashleigh (One of my Young woman) and I asked if she had been to Schnepf Farms and she said no. So we loaded the girls in the car and we were on our way. It was a lot of fun!

Marlee turned Two!

For Marlee's second birthday, I took her, Josie, Ashleigh, and Sera (two of my young women) out to lunch. Then we went to Edible arrangements (where one of the girls' mom works) and they gave her a free chocolate covered strawberry and birthday balloons. Then the highlight of the day was going to Fry's and riding with Josie in the shopping cart car. We even hit up Wells Fargo and got free suckers. Later that night we had dinner with Ivan when he got home from work, watched a movie and called it a day. The true fun comes from having birthday celebrations with her grandparents. We had one celebration with the Maughan crew. And then another celebration with the Mack clan. For some reason I can't find any pictures those two days?!

Home Sweet Home

We arrived home save and sound. And of course, Marlee has to empty ALL of the toy baskets to make sure that every single toy and book is still there!?

And now that Josie can get around, it was as equally fun for her :)

Visit to Utah

We decided to stop by and visit family and friends in Utah before we headed home from Colorado. We stayed with Mike, Michala and Evie. Ivan and Mike got to go to a BYU football scrimmage. We stopped by Nicole and Shawn's for a little while and of course Nicole let Marlee play with her and do makeup! So much fun. For those of you who know, Nicole has TONS of makeup, brushes, etc. So it was pure heaven for Marlee.

Horse Drive

Ivan's brother, Collin, has about 50 horses. They needed to move them from one field to another field. It was probably about 3 miles apart.? So Collin, Ivan, Joe (cousin), Tim (uncle)
and Ashley (cousin) all saddled up to move the horses.
We were able to meet up with them at the end of it and watch the action of moving
al' them horses! (Jen was kind enough to take these pictures for us)

Attempted cousin photo shoot

Why is it so stinking hard to get a decent shot of five little kids, because they are kids :)
We went to play at an elementary school and wanted to get a photo of all of the kids. I don't know why we were so hopeful, kids needed naps, others needed to eat. Maybe when they are older and can sit still for more than one minute?
