Family Picture Time...always a pleasure.

After the family reunion we went back over to my aunt Karma's house to take some family pics on her gorgeous back lawn. Out of seriously about 40 pictures these were the ones that turned out.
































































My kids say "gross" when they see this one. I just laugh. I remember thinking the same thing, when does it change from gross to good? In their cases I hope it's not until they're 20! :)

Saturday August 16th we went to the annual Earl and Judith Kenney Reunion in Fillmore. The men went to play golf while the women and children went to a park.

Here's my mom playing with Joceyln on the slides.












Here are a couple of cute kids...can't remember their names but I know I'm related to them.










Jill, Karma (middle), and Ruth (end). The other two girls married cousins of mine and I'm awful because I can't remember names. Sorry girls, love ya though. :)










Aunt Ruth getting ready for our humanitarian project.














My dad taking Olivia, Makell and Joci over to the "big" swings. So cute!















After playing at the park we all went to the church to have lunch. There were 2 bouncy houses there which kept the kids busy.

As you can see Aaron was having a blast!

Church Softball

Last time Aaron played against this team they lost by a point. They had something to prove this time...and they proved it. They beat them 31-5! Yahoo! (Just givin' ya a hard time Josh). Josh, my brother-in-law was on the other team, not to mention almost the whole team Aaron plays with in the city league. It was funny to see him play against them instead of with them. Good job babe!




See that smile? He loves this!

Not looking our best here, but still needed a picture to document it.

Hooked at the hip...when they're not fighting anyway.

See the ladybug? She let it crawl on her for a bit then got freaked out and flipped it off her hand.

Macey tried to hold it too but was just squishing it between her fingers!

As you can see she was not too happy when we took it away from her.

She got over it when we gave her some animal crackers.


Jocelyn climbing the fences.

No I'm not on the team, we just stayed around a little longer and played. I managed to hit the ball a few times, something I haven't done since I was about 12 years old. I was pretty impressed I could even hit it. (I was impressed Aaron took pictures too! Now why can't he take them when I've got makeup on?)

You can definitely tell Macey is the baby. Almost all the pictures are of her. I don't have favorites, I love all my girls the same. The older ones just run off and play and Mace can't go very far yet.

Logan High 15 year class reunion.

Wow, even just writing the title for this post makes me feel like a geezer. I thought I'd be dead at thirty, let alone thirty-three! Seriously, in high school I figured thirty was knocking on death's door, but here I am and I'm not dead, I feel great actually. "I'm not dead yet." Now if you can name me the movie that quote comes from then you probably graduated a long time ago too.






The reunion was really fun. The food was mmmm, mmmm good. (So much better than 5 years ago!) The company was great too. Aaron of course, my number one and then we sat next to Lisa Johnson and Kristi Davenport and Chrissi (don't know her last name now) and a few others throughout the night. It was fun to see everyone (well not everyone came but some) again. The atmosphere was nice and it seemed like everyone had a good time. I think Aaron was bored out of his mind but at least Luke was there for him to talk to. Thanks again for coming babe! So here are a few pics. Remember if you click on them they will get big so you can actually see faces in the group picture. Several people had already left so it's too bad someone didn't suggest the group pic earlier. Oh well, we'll do that in 5 more years!

Oh thank heaven for little girls and boats!

On saturday we went out on Utah Lake again. Ryan Hamilton has been staying with us for a few days until his parents move here from Pendleton Oregon. He's going to be a football/baseball/basketball star so he had to come early for practices. Anyway, there's a cute picture of him holding Macey on this post. The girls adore him and are constantly jumping all over him. So we took Ryan and another young man from the ward. We all got to get in. The water wasn't great but it was still boardable. (Yes, I know that's not a word). Even Olivia and Makell got up on the knee board. (Makell's first time and it was HER idea!) I was very proud.

Olivia, Makell and I had a post-birthday 'girl's night out'. I took them to IHOP. Everyone loves breakfast especially when you get a pancake with a face on it! After dinner we went shopping to get Joci a treat since she didn't get to come with us. The girls picked her out a bunch of flavored candy sticks.


Joci kept coming into our room so after the third time Aaron locked the door. When I went to get a drink of water later this is what I found. She must've been trying to watch us from under the door. She probably got mesmerized by the light of the t.v. and fell asleep. Aaron carried her to bed. It must be weird falling asleep somewhere and waking up somewhere totally different.
