The move.

Day 1.

Everyone minus D.C. Trumans came up to help Grandma and Grandpa

move it.  It was a party!

Kate will pick your flowers.

And insist you smell.

Rachel and Maddy.

Truman and Sam.

Kate, Lucy and Jessica.

Megan and Emma.

Maria, Rachel and Lori.

It was so fun.

Something about the museum brings such great memories back.

Could it be the hot chocolate from the Museum Cafe, Mary?

Can you really call melted chocolate mixed with heavy cream and some sugar hot coco?  Or shall we just call it heaven?

Harry, Truman, Tom and Ben.

I can't even believe how everyone is growing up!

August 20

 Mark and I met Mike and Wes in Provo for a quick siblings trip.  Minus Zach, bummer.

It was fun to just hang out.

We took Lucy out to hit the ball.

Wes was an excellent pitcher.

We played in the park.

Then off to Salt Lake for the wedding.

My cousin Steven got married.

It was so nice to be up there.

Of course there was the Brick Oven stop.

The best part,besides the company,were the balloons.

Ariel and an elephant.

They were pretty sweet.

Then there's me taking pictures while the boys talk deep.

Did I mention the evening weather was beautiful.

Brought back many a memory of my college days.

And the ride home was a party with these guys!

And the milk shakes from Maverick!

Oh and the fresh veggies from Lars's house.

It was so much fun!

Sad Mom, Dad and Zach weren't there.

August 2-9

Kaua'i

Joe and I took our first trip to Hawaii.

SOOO FUN!

Took my broken camera so I have no decent pictures.

BUT, we played hard!

Hiked, kayaked, snorkeled, tennis...

it was like we were young again!:)

My parents are saints and watched our kids!

p.s. Joe almost died and became the 78th notch on the wood sign of people who have died from the rip current right here.

No one, even locals, was out there body surfing and after our boat tour to the Napali coast and talking with locals did he realize how dangerous that was.  

August 30

First day of school!

It went pretty smoothly.

Day 2.

Poor Truman.

No pictures of his first day in class.

Oh well.  Still love you boy.

August 28

Last summer fun!

We went to Bellagio to see their fun exhibit.

The kids were in heaven. 

Then we stopped for some Thai food.

Yum.

I can't believe these two are gone all day to school.

Sad.

The best part of the day was unexpected.

We stopped at the international market and decided to make it a field trip.  My kids were loving the seafood section.

They wanted me to buy sardines.  

No thanks.

It was a blast!

Such a great day!!!

July 22

Mom and I went to meet baby Olive.

Such a doll and Laurie made her the cutest little booties.

Here are the sisters.

So fun.
