May Visit Home

Things can get interesting after family home evening in my family. It looks like Mike (on bottom) is possibly winning, but Steve (on top) is crushing him and Mike's face was so red I thought it was going to burst.

Jeremy, Steve and Mike. Three of the best brother in laws. Scott and Brian had a Jenkins thing. They can be civil at times.

Alysha, Libby and Lucy

Now that's Lucy's past her crying phase which seemed to last a whole year, she is a pretty fun kid now and turning out to be darn cute!

May Visit Home II

Elena looks like she's ready to defend her little baby. I bet her hero is Moroni! The funny thing is she is smiling for the picture under that mask.
2.75 year old max is wearing his cake:)

Sammy and Alysha got to share a pool party for their birthday's since they are pretty close. Sammy six and Alysha turning 9. Those were some yummy cakes.

New kittens at the Wood house. Alison and Max enjoying the fur balls.

The parents drove me home. Tami is in the very back with Jackson in front because Tami decided she couldn't stand him anymore. By time we got home he was "that boy!" Super funny. It was an interesting ride, but not bad.

St. George Iron Man

Runners as far as you could see going up and down Diagonal street to complete their 26.2 mile marathon. This is what they did after the 2.4 mile swim and 112 mile bike.

I found Phil Goold (my sister's brother in law) and got to cheer him on. He completed the race in 13hrs 8 minutes which is an amazing time.

Leslie and I volunteered with our ward to hand out bananas and power bars. As you can see, you have to be in top shape to be able to hand these off....took a bit of training.

Another famliar face....Nick, Leslie's boss. He also did amazing completing the course just over 14 hrs. We got to see him about 4 times. It was a great experience.

Easter at Snow Canyon


Deann decided she wanted some exercise so we went hiking up a hill. She did pretty well with some help from my excellent skills of blazing trails.

Even Granny came

Why do kids love being burried?

Maybe because their big sister is doing it too.

Zion

LaRue and Leslie on Emerald Pools Trail

One of my favorite views for a photo from the trail

Cheezers at Emerald Pools lower pool. The wind was blowing the spray of the waterfall all over the trail and it got quite wet.

This little girl looks so happy, but only because she refused to walk!
I had to carry her most of the way both ways.....She is more like Leslie than we care to admit.
K, There was a deer behind us, but guess it got cut out of the shot, oh well.
