Matt and Grandpa getting ready for Church

Adon and Matt discovered a top and played forever with it.

Today was Adon's day with Matt. We brought him home from church, had dinner, then they played, read, built a blanket fort, snacked and watched a couple of BYU programs....then snack again! Boys have bottomless tummies! Loving it all!

Matt is with us this week!

We have Matt this week so he can spend some time with us and his cousins who he dearly loves! They have such a good time together and do so well. They seems to be able to find or make up things to do. Matt brought his guitar and a game which he shares with the boys. We have gone to the park, the water park, out for pizza and just generally have a good time together.

A puzzle I have been working on for several weeks and finally finished at 3:30 Am this morning. I have been working on this while the boys are busy with games.

Grandkids

Today We spent part of the day with Amanda and Tyler's children while Amanda had some dental work done and tried to sleep off the sedative. I took Carson and Paige home for a little while to do some chores and took this picture of them on our front bench. The kids were so good. We had lunch together, then put Mason down for a nap. Then everyone just did what they wanted for a little while. Nice peaceful day!

Happy Father's Day, Malcolm, Dad, Grandpa!!

Adon, just looking sweet

We pampered Malcolm for Father's Day. I gave him a basket filled with goodies that are yummy and good for him and fixed one of his favorite dinners and cream cheese cherry pie. I picked up his Mom and Amanda and Lindsay, and some of our grandchildren came over (Tyler just left for boy scout camp)and had dinner with us. Amanda fixed a very clever frame with a picture of her children for Dad. Then we just relaxed and visited all afternoon while Dad received calls from our Children wishing him a Happy Father's Day. I hope your day was special, AF!! Much love from your wife and family!!!

Rock, Paper Scissors

We had quite a chuckle watching Mason play rock, paper scissors with Amanda when they stopped by our home this morning. He is just so cute and has his own twist on accomplishing a new thing - enjoy:

Rachel's Performance

Rachel as Cheshire Cat

We had a delightful time this evening watching Rachel perform as the Cheshire cat in an act from Alice in Wonderland in Napa at a theater arts program. She was just a darling little actress! Brian and Deb got us tickets and we joined Marie, Kristina, Alan and Elise and some other friends for a great evening of entertainment watching little and bigger girls, dance, sing, act in very cute performances!
