Tatum

so excited to FINALLY meet this sweet baby!

Cousins

There is always a friend to play with in Provo!

Dress-Up

The girls love a fashion show choreographed by Rylee!

Disneyland with Layla

Juan, Rachel, and Layla had such a quick trip to California we hardly got to see them at all. Luckily Shelby and I met them at Disneyland after school on Friday for a quick visit to the Magic Kingdom! Lots of smiles at the happiest place on earth!

Clash of the Cousins

Olivia and her team came out on top of what will probably be the first of many games between these cousins. Both of these girls tear it up on the soccer field!

Fun with Brynley and Layla!

I didn't take many pictures but we had a great time when Brynley, Layla, Reed, Rachel and Kat came to visit. We made trips to Disneyland and the Bay. Ate some good food, played some games. Thanks for coming to visit guys!

Tiger Girl Fans

Shelby had a full bench cheering her on at Saturday's soccer game!

Missionary Man

I could not be more proud of Ian. He gave the best farwell talk EVER! We are going to miss him, but he is going to be a great missionary! Goodluck Elder McDonell!

Full Moon Ride at Sundance

All made for a perfect night!

Bowling at BYU

A visit to the Y to bowl is always a family favorite! I think Gavin was the big winner this night.

It's SUMMER!

We celebrated the beginning of summer with the first dip of 2010 in Papa and Grandma's pool!It's the most wonderful time of the year ...especially if you are are in Provo with family!

Thanks for the Hook-up!

A big shout-out to Rachel and Liz for hosting us in such amazing accomodations in St. George and organizing the trip for the whole family. We had a ton of fun and you guys are the best! The penthouse was perfect with the easy access to the park, pool and hottub. The cousins all had so much fun and I'll cherish the memories of watching the little girl cousins, the middle crowd cousins, and the tween crowd cousins enjoying their time together. THANKS AGAIN!

Farwell Allens!

We went to Whittier to have a "last supper" with Janae and her family before they moved to Arkansas. They are are such a wonderful family and I am sad to see them go - but they have a beautiful house waiting for them in Arkansas. Goodluck Allens - we will miss you!

Cougar Fans in Vegas

Fun with family seeing the sites and cheering the Cougs to victory!

Big Rockin' Bob rocks out at the bowl game:
Go BYU!

Lovin' Layla

Thanks for letting us stay with you in Arizona!

We love you more than Protein Pancakes!

SHE LIKES ME!

I have never been a very good aunt. Maybe it was because I have never lived near any of my siblings' children or maybe it was because I was too busy taking care of my own kiddies. But now that the baby days are far behind me it is time to be a good aunt! I found the way to Layla's heart - take her outside anytime she wants to go. And take her to see dogs, even if it has only been ten minutes since the last time you took her to visit the neighbors dogs.

I am so lucky she likes me!

I totally have dibs on watching her when Rachel and Juan go to Hawaii next summer!

I totally owe Rachel for all the help she has been with my little ones.

Layla!

Dear Aunt Rachel,

Thank you so much for bringing Layla to visit! We have been dying to see her! We had fun going to Disneyland and watching the parade. We loved going to visit dogs with Layla and listening to her talk. Sorry our house was such a mess for your visit! It is clean now - so come visit again soon.

Love,

The Hess Family

Mud Fight

Making the most of a rainy visit to Utah!

Visits from Cousins!

It was fun to see Adam, Valerie, Peyton, and Keegan this weekend. The kids had fun playing together, Kelly had fun hanging out with Adam, and of course we made a visit to the family restaurant! We love visitors - so we expect more cousins to come visit this summer!

Crazy Cousins

Uncle Bob's sister made the mistake of saying he is not funny anymore. So the Evans Family attended Grandma's 90th Birthday and family group pictures in these get-ups. I love the garments hanging out of the cut-offs - design is in the details! It was fun seeing our crazy cousins this weekend. Kelly was excited to show Luke his "hood". Shelby was excited to meet Rochelle's son Mitchell - a very cute baby! We love our crazy cousins!
