Water in the back yard, water in the park, water everywhere!

Jessica had a great idea...

while Dean had fun fishing in the water table...

shee blew up the swimming pool...

And put the activity gym and slide into the water..

These 5 cousins had so much fun playing with it!

Joni and Mikey showed up for fun with us!

The kids were still playing..

Jane and Dean loved the Chapman's goggles..

They played until it was time for Jacob's birthday cake and ice cream.  

This morning we went to the splash pad park in Herriman.

Amanda, Hannah, Gwen, Nina and Anne came and joined us there!

Elliott really like the playground more than the spraying water.

They had a great time and ate like horses.

Erika showed up with the twins after their nap!

Such a fun group!  Thanks for coming and playing with us!

May family is full of awesome and cute people!

More fun with the kids! And a surprise at the temple today!

Here's sweet Elliott reading a book to the baby.  She loves this doll.

Jane is making her I'm too cool for you face.

Cute Sophie!  I told her I missed getting any pictures of her yesterday.

Cute Jacob and his beloved puppy.

It was amazing how nicely Dean and Elliott and Jane play together.  

Of course the girls let Dean tell them what to do!

Jacob finally opened his birthday present from us today.  He's been 2 for 5 days!

Tessa was showing me how high she can jump.  I did not get any of her highest jumps, but I did get this great action shot.

Jacob was excited for a turn in the car.

Tessa was also proud that she's brave enough to go down the slide by herself!

Loving the playhouse.

The cute dancing girls.

So I felt kind of bad about leaving my girls and their kids and working at the temple this morning...until they announced that my session was the first one to see the new film for the endowment!  It is amazing and emotional and I was privileged to get to be there for it at 5:00 this morning!

Dancing Cousins!

My sweet grandkids patiently waited for me to finish my Wii Fit cool down so they could dance!   

Dean building stuff.

Somehow I missed getting Sophie in this shot.  She is the best Gangham (sp?) Style dancer.

The Chapmans arrived at 12:45 am!  Dan had to leave for the airport at 4:30 am so I didn't get a picture of him yet.  James and Dan fly in on Saturday!

So much fun to have these guys together!  Only 4 of the 10 missing!  In a week we'll all be together!

Pioneer Day kids and The Kendalls are here!

Jon and friends playing with neon jewelry on Pioneer Day.

Jenny, Dean and Jane flew in today! 

Dean loves the old activity gym. 

Jane loves the slide.

They both love the playhouse.

And the swings.

They are so cute and fun and smart!  I love having them here!  Jen is pretty awesome herself!

East Canyon Reunion

We made it to East Canyon for lunch again this year.

We didn't give mom and dad a ride up this year though.  They came from the cabin in their NEW car!  They had an accident in it already.  Well they ran over a tire on the freeway that dented the front bumper.  It was either hit the tire or the truck it came off of. 

Most of the Learys were there.

Its fun to talk to my nieces and nephews and find out what going on in their lives.

Laura made cupcakes and we sang Happy birthday to 3 of her grandkids and Grandma.

The Gomezes are kind to invite us up here every year!

Here's my cute mom with her two youngest grandchildren.  Elizabeth will be 3 next month.  Mom's oldest grandchild turns 43 next month.  That's quite a stretch!

Here's James. Its the first time I've met him.  He's 2 months old! 

His family loves him. He turned Jacob into a father...

Amanda into a mother...

Paul and Amy into grandparents...

And Jodi into an aunt.

I love hanging out with these people!
