They turned down the throttle so it was only going about 2 miles an hour, but the kids loved it!!

Bradley reminded Grandma about the time we slid down the white thing on the front lawn.  He also told her he hadn't done it for ages!  So we fixed the problem.

"What a ride!"


Aunt Laura, Aunt Andrea and Uncle Jason
Andrea was getting some high lights.


Ben always had too much momentum and slid way off the tarp!
He made a big splash....and has respectfully asked for a longer tarp next year!



Aunt Darcy trying out her new ride...er...the new ride she would like.


Uncle Jake getting ready to head out to California.  Good luck Uncle Jake!


Eliza loved Sheena.  She would sit next to her and say, "Hey Puppy."


Aunt Darc getting ready to do some laundry.


Such a sweet girl.


Monday afternoon we went down to the spillway at Yuba Dam.  It is the fullest I have ever seen it.  There was a lot of water coming out of the top and the bottom of the spillway.


Daniel, Eliza and Bradley


Looking at the water coming out the top.


About nine years ago this section was empty and Jake drove his car through this dip.  Definitely can't do it now!


At the top looking down at the spillway.


Eliza spilled a little water and started cleaning it with a napkin.


She wanted to make sure Uncle Jason saw what a good job she was doing.


Thanks for having lunch with me Uncle Jason!

Tyler and Katie Wilkins


On June 24, 2011 my sister Katie was sealed to Tyler Wilkins in the Manti, UT Temple.  We are so happy to have another awesome uncle in our family.  Welcome to the family Uncle Tyler!!


The kids and I flew in on the 21st and stayed with my Grandma K.  Eliza loved this little baby doll.  I remember playing with this doll when I was a little girl.


Janna and Andrea helping Katie with her hair on her wedding day.


She looks so pretty!


Bradley, Daniel and Eliza hanging out with Josh.  He is one of Katie's home teachers.
Thanks Josh for keeping the kids entertained.


When we were getting ready to go to the temple I found a large tick in Bradley's hair.  It was in really deep.  Aunt Laura and Uncle Jason took over the tick removal so I could finish getting Eliza ready.  It took them almost 10 minutes to get it out!  Bradley was very brave!  We still aren't sure where he picked it up.


Eliza at the temple waiting for Aunt Katie and Uncle Tyler to come out.


Aunt Mary and Grandpa M.


Crazy Uncle Jakie!

I think they enjoyed the kissing pictures.

By the end I think they were getting pretty tired.  :)
We were so glad to be able to share in on their special day!!!


Malea played the harp at the reception.  I don't have an pictures of her playing that night, but this is the next day when she played some songs for Grandpa and Grandma M.  Keep up the good work Malea.
