Luau

Our neighbors had a luau, so we got matching shirts.

New Entryway

Our mason finished our entryway.  The lower part now matches the upper part.

(Joseph got a paintball gun for his birthday and his friend shot him with it -- above his left eye.)

Family Reunion

We had planned another 3-day family reunion at Lava Hot Springs in Idaho, but changing family schedules made it impossible, so we planned a "Family Fun Day" at Boondocks.  It was easy to get pictures of the 15 grandkids (and the dads):

 Brianne, Kelsey,

 Chase,

 Maryn (and Bauer),

 Nikkail,

 Draeden,

 Liam,

 Mary,

 Jackson, Joseph, 

 Katie,

 Maggie,

 Jada, and

There was lots of lunch and lots of action:
