S’happen’n?

It’s been a while.  But we’ve been busy – and just plain fatigued too.  You guys wear us out!  Our travels have taken us to visit some of you – again.  And of course you’ve visited with us as well.   I have proof as follows:

These kids really LOVE the water.

Savannah & friends had a little beauty parlor too.  Isn’t he cute?

Savannah’s tennis team (above).   Savannah had quite the trip(s) coming down with her family first, and then right back with her tennis team.  I must have been under the weather … no pictures of their cute family.

Texas was nice, but HOT.  It was fun to see Dan & Lindsay all settled in their new (air conditioned, thank goodness)  house.

Trevor was a good sport when the girls decided to include him in their dress up play.

I didn’t take any other pictures of Amy or Michael’s family or the Kogers while they were here.  But I did get Max.

…sleeping in my arms – what joy.095 142

… doing his “baby power” stretch

Yes. those are grandpa’s feet!  149 146

… and these are the rascals, caught in the act.

Joel, after his fishing in Alaska trip.  He loved it.

And then to Park City.  The “shoe tree”

163 What do ya think??  Is he in the right place?

164 Or is it better this way?   He was a good sport too.

175

Max loved my cover-up.

I think Max liked Park City as well as the rest of his family.

We stayed with Mark and Sara both coming and going to Utah.  They are such gracious Hosts/Hostesses.  I think Gabe actually enjoys sharing his room.   He’s sure sweet about it.

It was great vacationing, but quite exhausting.  Now it’s quite lovely to be home.  We share our home with so many groups that we’re always either getting ready for or cleaning up afterwards, so there’s no time to be lonely.  Joel condescends to play a few games with us.  Speed Scrabble seems to be the favorite right now.

(I hope) We’ve rested enough that we’re going down to visit with Spencer and Amy later today.  That’s what’s been happening with us.

Beauty Parlor

The girl cousins have started a tradition at grandma and grandpa's house. They call it the Beauty Parlor. The recipe for beauty parlor is as follows:

a brush
a comb
as many hair ties and bows as you can find
water
hairspray and/or gel (unless your mom catches you)
1 unsuspecting adult who thinks he is getting a head rub
Here are the results of said recipe:
And the beauty pageant winner is . . .
