So cute!

When Trina and Ian were at our house we went to Crackerbarrel for dinner and this came with Karli's meal!

A little jar of jelly and a little bottle of syrup! It was too cute not to take a picture of and share with you all!

Awww my baby!

First off excuse my horrible picture!

But look at my baby! Hehehehe! My mom and I may have "accidentally" wrapped Phoenix up like a burrito!

Ken Hatch Reunion 2011!

In June we had our Ken Hatch reunion at the awesome resort in Scottsdale! The first night we hung out and did some swimming and us four older girl cousins that were there stayed up until some crazy early hour talking and giggling!

We also found some peanut butter and

graham crackers to snack on in the wee hours!


The next day was filled with more swimming.

Hanging out.

And of course eating!

Then that night we all got together and talked and shared stories.

And colored and wrote messages on Grandpa's "turtle shell"

All of us older girl cousins that were there! We are just missing Brenn!

The Larson bunch!

And all of us with Grandpa and Grandma!

Extra loving for Carmichael

Miss Emma came across something of mine that she thought was pretty awesome!

That would be my beloved Carmichael!

For those of you drawing a blank at that name, Carmichael is the stuff animal that my aunt Trina gave me before I could remember and has served as a good luck charm and a sleeping partner (Until I find another permanent one that is) for the past 20 or so years!

She really liked him and would go find him and other "babies" and carry them around giving them loves!

Mesa Museum of Natural History field trip part 2!

The next week I took the second half of the kids to the Mesa Museum of Natural History!

Peyton, Alyssa, and Ava with the front door dino!

The girls digging up dinosaur bones!


And they really enjoyed panning for gold since it was at least eight degrees hotter then the day I took the group the week before!


In front of the coal train!


Konner also came with us and once again I got tired of them all and put them all in jail!

On the boat deck!

Loving the dinosaur bones!

All of them watching the dinosaur flood!

In front of the giant crystal!

In the stars!

Looking through a meteorite.

Konner had to get a picture with the Star Wars poster which of course I don't blame him!

And the girls on TV!
