One thing I love about visiting Utah is that we get to enjoy being in a home with GRASS and a yard for the kids to run around on. I love the peacefulness of just enjoying good company with no humidity or mosquitoes. Life can be enjoyed watching the kids have fun. I wish I could remember good stories from out trip but I'm writing this about four weeks after we got home. The pictures are a good reminder of what we did and some of the fun we had. Now this first picture obviously doesn't have grass but it's fenced in and the kids had fun with the dirt. Even if there was no grass we were safe enough to let our kids outside to enjoy the outdoors.
Down the street a new building is going in and the boys and Tori had fun climbing around in the rocks. We just had to make sure that they didn't throw the rocks while someone was in front of them. 
Since Parker has learned to use the potty he was able to experience on of his first times in a port-a-potty. It wasn't too bad for him. 
Tori was a treat. It's amazing to watch the difference between a boy and a girl. Tori really enjoyed putting clothing on and shoes. She REALLY liked the boys' sandals, particularly Lincoln's.
The two older boys enjoyed playtime with both Nana and Grandpa. I always enjoy when the grandparents get down on the ground with the kids. 
Building castles and towers were always fun. The car mat was a great hit as well. Grandpa Kim has some nice skill in building towers.
Henry enjoyed crawling around. It was a new trick of his just before we left to come to Utah. Henry loved to smile at everyone, as long as he was in mommy's arms. 
A few times during the trip we went out on the front porch and enjoyed the company. We watched the boys and Uncle Jared and Willie run down the sidewalk. They all had so much fun chasing each other.
Nana took the kids to the end of the road. I'll tell you what, I didn't know what to do with my self when the kids were being entertained by someone else. Thanks for giving me a little break everyone. Uncle Jared and Tori had fun on the walk.
Parker and Uncle Jared really bonded during this trip. They had fun tackling and tickling each other. 
Henry is always sticking his tongue out. I really liked that on occasion I could give him to someone else and that he had fun and didn't cry.
Okay so here is the delicious fruit dip that Aunt Kim introduced us to. You use some marshmallow creme, some mixed berry whipped creme cheese, some orange juice and I think that's it. Really good with Strawberries and Pineapple, two of my favorite fruits. 
I decided to get some sidewalk chalk so that we could leave some love with Grandpa Kim and Nana. It's not permanent but it was a fun thing to do with the nice weather. The boys really love to draw on the sidewalk. See here is another picture of Grandpa Kim getting down on the ground.

We have here some lovely ladies on the front porch enjoying being outside. 
Here's Parker laying down in his outline.
I remember pictures of me with my Great Grandparents. I'm glad that we could get a few with Great Grandpa Thede. 
Here are the four generations. The best is that Great Grandpa is reading to Parker. How sweet. It may not be as good as a posed picture but still it's pretty fun to see them all together.
Oh how precious. Uncle Jer and cousin Tori
We had a request for a children photo. We realized that Anna was missing but it was the last night we were all kind of together. Sorry we don't have you in the image Anna. 
Here's the grandchildren with grandparents. We'll just say that it was bedtime.
I want to thank everyone for being so cooperative to let me take their pictures. It's kind of fun to have almost everyone. Sorry Anna. Here we have Jake and Terrah.
Kim and Jeremiah.
Jared and Rachel.
We even got one of me and Willie. Thanks Jared and Rach.
Well we were taking pictures of everyone so why not take on with the kids too? Out of four shots we quickly decided this was going to work since the kids were going South anyway. Not bad they were all looking forward.
Charlene's picture is so fantastic. I love her smile. Yeah!
I love the action shots on the next two photos. Parker is getting pretty brave.
