Granno and Al take the Plunge!

Scott and I have the sweetest Grandmother. Okay, so she is technically Scott's Grandma, but ONLY by a small technicality called blood and she and I claim eachother. She has been known to all of the grandkids and greatgrandkids as Granno. She got married last month to the nicest Man. (Yes, I know I am a little slow on the news) And you must know that they were engaged 65 years ago and for whatever reason, went their separate ways. She had been a widow for many years and Al's wife passed away last year. They have now come full circle to finish the romance they started so long ago! We are so happy for both of them!

This is Granno with Kaylin, Mason, and Hailey, her 3 oldest Great Grandchildren. Kaylin and Mason got to walk her down the aisle and Hailey was supposed to be the flower girl, but this is the only picture we got of Hailey in the wedding because she chickened out before it started!
Here is our family posing so nicely at the arch.

And what cute little girls I have! (Most of the time! ;)

After the Wedding

We had a great time with the extended family after the wedding. We rode the quad around the backyard and played Rock Band. we can't wait for another event so we can get together again!

Dillon at Basketball Camp

This is my super cute little brother Dillon.....this post is about him. This is my other super cute brother Taylor...this post has nothing to do with him.

My little 6'4" brother Dillon went to the Lute olson Basketball camp this summer.
Not to brag or anything, but he received the award for the moxt valuable defensive player. This was him AFTER Lute handed him the award...dang my slow camera, or my lack ok knowing how to use it!

Rocky Point

We were lucky enough to make two trips to Rocky Point at the beginning of the summer this year. The first trip we took was with the my immediate family, the second was with Scott's extended family.


This is my family (minus brother-in-law Martin) in front of the house we stayed in at the beach. (Thanks Jim and Charmaine!) It was fun, especially since this is the first trip in a LONG time that it was (almost)just the immediate family.





This next picture was taken on our second trip during the traditional blowing up of innocent fruit. Kaylin loves to be part of the "big" kids activities! Hailey wanted to try it out this time, but decided it was still a little too scary. I mostly like that all of the "big" kids are running for dear life!







Hailey taught Lindsey how to jump in the water singing Jane of the Jungle like at swimming lessons.











Lindsey made herself a "potty" at the beach. Luckily, she didn't really know what she was doing yet! We did start potty training when we got home though!

















The tide went in and out really far. When it came in, there was a sand bar that created a nice swimming hole for the kids to play in.











Hailey peeking through the tube. She had fun, but you never know if she is going to open up for the camera or hide from it!





This was probably one of the only times wehad the whole family in the water during both trips. It seemed like one of the kids was always needing to go back to the house or camp for something!
