Family Pictures

For those of you who are still following my blog (I doubt it) here are some updated pictures of my family. We had my sister take them a couple of weeks ago and it reminded me why we don't get pictures taken often. Cory hates smiling, Ashley can't smile normal, Kaylee is always smiling and my smile is masking me telling Cory and Ashley to smile normal! I was happy with how they turned out. Thank you katie, you are awesome!!

Spring is in the air!

This is Jessica's sister, Katie, and I thought it was about time for an update from her. She is really busy with school and life so I had a bunch of pictures of her girls and things that they have done so I am posting it. I hope she doesn't mind! :)

I took her girls and my two boys and we met my sister-in-law up at the zoo a few days ago. Kaylee was so excited because I took her out of school to go and they called her name over the intercom to come down to the office. That is really cool I guess! Ha! We are loving the warm weather! The kids were wonderful and we had a really great time!

All the kids in front of the wooden elephant.

Then in front of the real ones.

Kaylee, Makenna (my niece) and Ashley on the rhino.


They are the cutest girls ever! There is a bear in the background!

The zebras...even though it moved behind Kaylee when I took this picture.

Me with all the kids in front of the giraffes.

Ben & Kaylee...they are such good friends, well most of the time!

Ashley had to ride the tiger.

Kaylee

Kaylee rode the fox. They really couldn't make up their minds there were too many to choose from.

Kaylee trying to be a gorilla.

This is as close as I could get Ashley to do it! Ha!

Ashley

We took our dad's new boat out for a test run this past week. It's only 70 degrees but it was still fun and the kids loved it! Since I was the "official" photographer, I am posting this too!

Ben & Kaylee

Ashley just being Ashley! What more can I say about this picture!

Jessica had a nice time getting some much needed relaxation! She went back to the school after we were done so it didn't last too long!

We had a BBQ on the boat since it has one on it. Cory did a great job at it!

Here is dad...he was all smiles on his new boat! We loved it!

Ashley's time-out! We love this face!

Jessica and her family!

Kaylee got to drive the boat back.

Last but not least, another of Ashley's faces! Ha! That girl really keeps life interesting!

Kennecott

We took the family to Kennecott the Saturday before it closes for the season. We had Katie's boys because they were on a cruise! This is a tire of one of the big trucks from the mine. Cory enjoying the view!
Sammy keeping an eye on the "diggers"! He was in heaven. After we went here he started blessing the diggers in his prayers.
