Troy and Tracy tended the fire to get perfect coals for the dogs, burgers.

Janice was with us too. She was behind her camera too.

She provided a great spread for us all to feast on complete with SMORES.

Thank you......Mom, Dad, and Tracy for making it all so wonderful.

St. David-Home

We were lucky enough to all get away together for a long weekend to St. David! A place we consider home...cuz that's where Grandma and Grandpa live!

We had such a nice time. The kids enjoyed the nice weather outside!

Lacey made Cowboy Cookies...everyone helped devour them.

Canyon had to have them in pairs.

Jaxon discovered an old "owee" and relived the pain all over again.

It actually got quite warm and Grandma brought out skirt guns!

We had a war...when the guns were no longer effective we resorted to cups and I got drenched

it was a blast!

Then Uncle Tracy brought over this great tub...the kids had it filled up and stayed busy for hours in it.

Wanna smooch this face or what!

drying in the sun.

This is the life.

Spring Break-hike

On our way home we stopped at the Ranch and played in the creek. Then we took a short hike to the top of the hill to see shat we could see.

LACEY & BAYLEE led the way.

At the top

MOM! this face and expression I see all day long. With out meaning too the loudest one usually gets my attention first. You can see Jaxon got it this time.

Baylee taking notes about nature in her little notebook.

Watching the approaching helicopter!

MR. INVINCIBLE always too close the edge. I'm afraid he'll never grow out of it.

Chelsey's Birthday!

Anyone who knows Chelsey knows she loves music! Luuuuuuvs it!

We were in Mesa for a few days and so all of the nieces and nephews got to help celebrate Aunt Chelsey's 25th Birthday!

We kidnapped her covered her eyes and drove her to ORGAN STOP PIZZA!

Her favorite place. 

She was sooo surprised and the kids liked listening to the organ with all its bells and whistles.

Jaxon & his pizza. He is the best eater in our family.

What a "cheesey" grin....literally....love it.

The girls didn't sit for long as soon as the music started they ran off to see how close they could get.

Pals forever! J.D. and Rustin are far apart in years but for a few years they were the only two boys.

They have always stuck together! 

Cyrena & Lydia what cutie pies!
