Summer 2018 Utah

DRESS UP




Everyone loves Grandma's dress up box.

VISITING THOMAS' GRAVE
We had a nice time visiting Thomas' grave and telling Audrey about her big brother.

THE CURIOSITY MUSEUM
Audrey's floating head.
Brooklyn enjoyed playing at the water table.

The older kids enjoyed doing the high ropes course.
Climbing the web


BYU

I think my mom really wants her grandkids to come to school at BYU, so she makes sure we make a lot of fun memories here when we visit.  We went to the Museum of Art and the Bean Life Science Museum.

The kids liked watching all the ducklings at the duck pond south of campus.


The kids enjoyed bowling with Grandma, who is actually quite good.  I was thankful for the bumpers being up.

Of course a visit to BYU would not be complete without a trip the the creamery for some ice cream.

GRANDMA'S HOUSE
Brooklyn decided that this little rocking chair at Grandma's house belongs to her.

Audrey had fun making a newspaper hat.

The kids loved playing with all of grandma's Magna-Tiles.  They even built giant boxes around each other and then jumped out to surprise us.

HIKING THE Y


Sarah was nice enough to watch the little ones so I could take the older kids on a hike up to the Y.

THANKSGIVING POINT GARDENS








THANKSGIVING POINT FARM




The kids really enjoyed the horse rides, especially Brooklyn.  She was smiling and laughing the entire time.

SAYING GOOD-BYE

We had a nice 2 weeks in Utah, but we were excited to see Jared again and to finally close on our house.

Summer 2018 Idaho

PRINCESS DRESS UP


The girls had fun dressing up with all their cousins.





NATHAN'S 9th BIRTHDAY
Nathan was excited to spend his birthday with his Collett cousins.  His grandma made him this huge chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting.


He was spoiled with LEGOs and a cool Battle for Hogwarts game.

Neal and JoyAnn's neighbors were kind enough to offer their pool for our family get together.  We had a blast swimming.


The girls had fun dressing up as mermaids.
Nathan loved his pool party.

FAMILY REUNION TIME


Since Jared's brothers all live in Boise, it worked out nicely to do our family reunion in the evenings after everyone got off work.   






We had fun playing Minute to Win It one night.



Jared's brother Bryan was nice enough to take us out on his boat.  The kids had fun being pulled on a tube, and Audrey had fun driving the boat.
Cousins at the park.
