Family Reunion

Like I said earlier we have enjoyed our grandchildren this month. Not to slight their parents, we enjoyed them too. We had a great time at the Rock Family Reunion. James and Ethan took some great photos that I have sent to everyone. We had a great time with Jason's family and Jane after the reunion. Everyone enjoyed getting to know Tessie a little better.

Jessica cut some rhubarb from Mom's yard and made us a yummy strawberrie/ rhubarb pie. The recipe is in the cook book. It is great! Julie made us some lettuce roll ups with tofu which were very good too. It was very nice having family here. There was a noticable void without Jacob and Joseph though. Next year I am definately planning another family reunion for just our family and hopefully we will ALL be able to be there. It was also not long enough to do all the visiting with everyone.

Emily and Hyrum enjoyed their visit to the zoo. Emily was most impressed with the Zebra and kept saying "zebra" over and over. Hyrum liked the otters. It was the first time I was able to get to know Emily's personality. She is definately a girly girl. She is learning to talk and it is so cute!


Hyrum loved playing with the clay and running outside in
the yard.

Ethan & Isaac

It has been great to have all my grandchildren here this month. Ethan and Isaac wanted to learn how to golf. After practicing in our yard, we took them a couple of times to the junior course at Sandcreek. We knew that Ethan would catch right on and he did. I hope he can continue with the sport and maybe join the golf club at school if they have one.

We were surprised at how well Isaac did and at how much he enjoyed it. We thought he might be too young and un coordinated but he seemed to be a natural and his excitement over the game was infectuious.

Piper enjoyed the play equipment at Leo's Place. She didn't even want to stop to eat her pizza. She was asleep as soon as we got in the car to go home. She had used up all of her energy.

The Cowboy

Piper was playing outside. She came and told me to come and see the cowboy. I was busy so I didn't go right away. She kept insisting that I come and see the cowboy. She said he was cute. This got me curious. I followed her out front and discovered that she was calling the wooden moose that Sherwin made a cowboy. She was picking flowers and dandylions and putting them on the antlers. She kept saying "isn't my cowboy cute?"

Here she is all in smiles with her "Cute"Cowboy"

The next day she wanted me to put flowers in her hair like her "Cute Cowboy" How adorable 3 year old girls can be!
