So, I'm so far behind, and so about to give birth, that today I'm going to attempt to load some photos, and to label them, and thats about it. But its been on my to-do list for 6ish months, so here we go!!
Jareds ENTIRE side of the family came to visit for a week this summer, and everybody stayed. . .at our house!!! We are so blessed to have this home where everybody can stay. We didn't even feel smooshed, I don't think!! Things really got started on Saturday July 14th up in Logan with an extended Family Get Together. Jared got the ball rolling, and then some aunts helped with the details, but everybody was so happy to see each other after so long, and agreed to not wait so long before getting together again.
 |
| The whole family!! |
This first picture is of all of Jareds 1st cousins. They haven't seen each other in a long time, but all have great memories from their growing up years. I don't know who all these people are, and Jared probably won't ever get on here and label this photo. . .but here it is!
 |
| Cohen and Kennedy...and my feet...I was so tired that day!!! |
 |
| Some of the cousins (2nd cousins really) are very creative little girls and decided to create a play for us. I think it was a talent competition like X factor or something. Cohen wanted to be in it and they let him be the Onrey English Judge or something. |
 Here's the house that Jareds dad grew up in. It is directly across the street from the Logan temple. In fact, here is the view from the front yard. . . |
 |
| Pretty stunning, right? |
 |
| Jared has so many wonderful memories of Logan and of his grandparents home there. Here's Oma pushing the boys on the swing in the front yard. |
 |
| Jareds cousin owns the house now, so we weren't trespassing or anything! |
 |
| Here's Cohen and Evan looking at their Great-Grandparents grave. Cohen is middle-named after this grandpa, Jay. |
 |
| Evan |
 |
| Will |
 |
| Ryan |
 |
| We drove up the canyon a bit and saw a place where papa liked to go fishing as a kid, and in college. |
 |
| Here's all the grandkids dressed up for church on Sunday. It looks like we're missing Ryan. . .but the back row has Evean, Camden, Cohen and Kennedy holding Colston, and the front row is Will, Easton, Addie and Sophie. |
 |
| We caught a huge snake in our front yard on Sunday... We haven't seen one like this around before or after, thank goodness, but it was quite entertaining! |
 |
| Here's everybody checkin' out the snake!! |
 |
| Here's the kids acting out the story of Lehi and his vision of the Tree of Life. . .it didn't go as smooth as I had planned, but it was still cute. Nobody wanted to do any of the 'bad guy' parts, and as soon as another part was introduced, those who already had a part wanted to switch. . .whatever. . .it was cute |
 |
| Here are our 'flags' from the Family Olympics. |
 |
| In this game, you had to throw marshmallows into a bucket on your teammates head, and whichever team got the most was the winner. |
 |
| Here's Papa showing off his injury from the 'Pop on Pop' game!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!! We bought an enormous water-balloon-launcher and you got to try and hit your dad from across the yard. He's the only one who actually got hit, and it was pretty brutal!!!! |
 |
Bad picture, but this is Jared and John gutting the fish they caught up at Silver Lake on Tuesday night. Fishing with Papa. . .I hope my kids actually remember this kind of thing!!
|
 |
| 'The Sleepover'. . .this is good for cousins, right? And yes, Cohen and Evans room is still purple. I swore it would be the first room I painted when we moved in. . .well, we've gotten the entire upstairs done so back off!! We at least bought some paint for it. Now I've just got to squeeze in the painting, right in between squeezing out a new baby and all of the holidays! Ha! |
