Memorial Day Weekend-May 25


There are a lot of pictures, but I posted so many mostly for Laura. I got home from running on Friday morning and peeked into my bedroom and this is what I saw...

We got to Rexburg late Friday night. Saturday morning Wes went on a short motorbike ride with my dad. Grandpa David (below)

Then we headed out to Grandpa Nye's house and the kids had a blast out there working in the yard, shooting Grandpa's carbyde cannon and playing with the hose water.

Then we went out past Beaver Dick Park and went shooting with Grandma and Grandpa and Kent, a friend, and his little girl Andi who Jackson and London adored.

Me shooting Kent's gun-I don't know what it was, AK-47?

Wes shooting the .22

Then we were back at Grandpa Wood's for a birthday/going away party for my brother, Sam, who is leaving for OCS (the Marines) this summer. Don't worry, he will be back in the fall for school. Me in front of the pizza....where else would I be?Jackson and Sam


Lighting the candles...J and L were just as close as they could possible get

Jackson had to go to time out for ringing the doorbell about 100 times while Uncle Sam was asleep. London decided to sit right down next to him.

This pic is out of place. Paula, Aspen, and Dillon on our way out to the cemetary on Monday.

On Saturday we went to Yellowstone to Old Faithful. We were going to stay at the cabin, but the pipes were broken so there was no water. So we just spent the day up there.

All the cousins who were there.

And finally, playing at the Sand Dunes on Monday afternoon with everyone. The kids had the most fun here I think. I am still finding sand in their clothes and in my car. Jackson making a huge leap.

Now I don't feel like I missed out on that fun weekend-----NOT! It just makes me homesick, but still happy that you had a fun time. I love the pic of L sitting with J in time out. So cute. Great idea to take the jumping pictures, you are a fun mommy. You and Wes do the funnest things with your kids.

Such a fun weekend --- always so nice to have you come and sad to see you leave. Sand Dunes WAS a favorite for sure --- I ended up developing l60 pictures of the weekend just to prove we all had fun.
