We had so much fun on our family vacation this summer. We spent 1 week in Utah and then 1 week in South Dakota.
Grandma and Grandpa Moody took us all to see the new Wall-E movie. It was very cute and the kids were glued to it.
Bloved her time with Grandma Moody and boy did she get spoiled with lot's of love.
We had a very nice visit with Ryan’s mom and Grandparents. (I forgot to take the camera darn-it) The boys got these fun portable desks along with new crayons, a coloring book and stickers. It’s the perfect gift for them. They LOVE crafts and are excited to use them for homework this coming year. R’s mom also treated us to Red Robin (the kids’ favorite restaurant) for dinner. It was a lot of fun.
B got a darling little baby doll from R’s Mom. She loves to sleep with it and has to give it lots of kisses every night before going to bed.
We all had a lot of fun playing Rock Band. They actually started to sound pretty good after a while.
Silly uncle Alex changed into some pretty grovin clothes to help him feel his part. He’s such a crack up.
R tried to get some brotherly bonding in while taking a cruise on the motorcycles. Instead he got guff about being an irresponsible cop. ??? We’re still scratching our heads on this one. I was curious what he had to say about it and his response was “while you really shouldn’t be driving with out a motorcycle endorsement , if I pulled someone over with out it depending on why I stopped him, as long as the bike had the proper insurance I would just tell him he really shouldn’t be riding with out the endorsement and then let him go. You have to common sense with this job, and not be soooo uptight. You don't always write a ticket just because you can. I personally don't write a lot of tickets in general anyway unless it’s an obvious dangerous reason like DUI. There are just so many other things out there that I’d rather be taking care of. Like DV, gangs, drugs ect..."
I love some of the discussions we have about his work. He really is an amazing clear thinking cop and he’s got the accommodations to prove it. Ha ha. I’m very proud of him. I'm very proud of him for trying to reach out and include everyone, but oh well...it’s all good. He had fun non-the-less.
Uncle Alex dressed up in his storm trooper costume for the boys. WOW, what a treat. They thought it was awesome.
Tyson and Danielle had us over to their darling little home for a yummy dinner. It is decorated so cute and it was so good to get to see where they are living. I am so bummed I forgot to take my camera and get some pictures of it.
We got to go to Uncle Seans mission homecoming. He did a great job. We really enjoyed looking at all his pictures and hearing all about the mission. He’s a super great uncle. Here he is playing with J.
Again I forgot to take the camera, but we got to go see the new finished basement in Mandy’s home. It is Beautiful. Dave did all of the tile work and he did a really nice job. Mandy and I also had fun making hair bows for the girls, and I got some great tips.
Kennedy is rather shy but her and Jaden got a long great Here they are playing together. They kept going under the bridge (Rs legs) so R decided to trap her and boy did she giggle. Although he kept trying, this was the only time she would have anything to do with R. She’s funny.
We were able to get some family pictures taken at the park by R’s mom’s friend. I am excited to see how they turned out. These are some I took with my camera.
I love this picture of all the cousins. Too cute!
Here I was trying to do the pose where you have all the kids lay down in a circle and lookup in the sky. As you can see, it didn’t work out. It’s cute anyway though.
We had a lot of fun in Utah. It was so good to see everybody again. We love them all so much and miss them already.
