Education Week

We did go to education week.  We did attend classes, but the best part of the week was spending time with family.  Cameron seems happy to see Grandma too.

This is a great picture, Big Rock with Little Rock.  Little Rock was holding court with Grandparents. Seems he approves of all four.
We spent Wednesday afternoon at the pool. Kennedy puts on her water wings and becomes part fish.  She loves the water.

We went to a photo shoot.  I managed to annoy the professional photographer by taking a few pictures for myself.  Here the family seems like a normal, happy family ...
The boys seem to be all polite smiles and best behavior .....
At least until the water sprinkler comes on ....
The boys get soaked in their Sunday best.  The smiles now seem a little more devious than polite...
And soon the whole thing deteriorates into an all out war. Hunter in packing two heaters looking for anyone he can.
The next morning, Peter shows his skills at Soccer
 In Ben's first ever game, he scores a goal early in the first half...
 And Hunter managed to get some frosting on his face.

Lecia Dawn's 85th Birthday Party

We flew up to Idaho for a short weekend to celebrate Kayleen's mother's birthday. All of Kayleen's siblings were there, along with many of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  We had a lot of food and some very good conversation.  Here are some pictures of my grandchildren just being cute.


Rock had a hard time, but he was able to chill somewhat.  

Kennedy and Cameron played outside a lot.  Kennedy spent a lot of time in the pool, even when she was in clean pajamas and wasn't supposed to get in the pool


In order to eat the corn, we had to sit around and shuck the corn.  Hunter supervised the process.

Kennedy enjoyed the fruit of the labors, along with everyone else.


Peter and Ben payed "that tennis" game. It was the first time they played, so they each used two paddles in an attempt to gain some advantage.



After playing hard, it was only right that they were at the front of the line for dinner.



Cameron, on the other hand, mostly looked cute and won over the hearts of many.


Its nice to remember that there are areas of the country that can grow things. I really do love Idaho.


Todd is getting married this week. I need to let his future wife know that he was hanging out with another women. But then Cameron did win over the hearts of many.
