This Piggy bought his house with bricks!

We spent a nice weekend with our kids up north!  Jeff and Sarah moved in to their new house and we had a fun visit with Laura and her family.  It was good to be with our grandkids and have a fun time.

Helping Jeff and Sarah move into their new house!  Kaelynn came with us to help tend Eli.  She brought her blanket. 

Getting things moved in! 

Kaelynn and Eli playing X-box.  Kaelynn is showing Eli how to move the buttons.

Easter Sunday with the Cox family.

Smile for the camera!  

Kaelynn and her doll.  They got matching outfits for Easter!

I am so thankful for family and am happy we get to spend time with them. 
We are a forever family! 


Easter is a wonderful time a year.  It reminds us there is Spring and warm after the cold of  Winter.   It also reminds us there is life after death.  That, I am most thankful for.  

Scooter Ride!

"Do you think our parents are weird?"

"Are you talking about us?"  We are not weird......

We are tough!

Exciting!

Thoughtful!

Wise beyond our years!

We are good with twists and turns!

We love to laugh! 

" No, we are not weird!"

Ben and Laura are funny! 

FUN TIMES

We had a fun time with our family the past two weeks.

Tana's 30th Birthday Party!  We had Mexican food and lime slushes!

I love food!

Eli and Dirk in their high chairs enjoying breakfast and TV. 

Cute little Eli trying to figure out what is going on around the crazy house!

Enjoying the after breakfast stroll!

Dirk trying to figure out something......look at those eyelashes!  I love 'em.

Grandkids with a Mrs. Bunny (notice the flying football in the background, that was from Caleb throwing it down the stairs)

Cute kids.... say "CHEESE"  (Eli had to go home, so he wasn't in the picture)

The "KIDS"

The all look so sweet!

Announcing our new Grandson!!!   

 Axton Steele Excell 

Axton came from a list of names that Ben and Tana liked.  Steele came from the missionary that baptized Great Grandpa Henry Excell into the church.

Tana showing off the new baby.  He weighed 9lbs. and is 21" long.  He is a good baby and looks like his brothers. Tana looks pretty good for just having a baby!

Dirk's first look at Axton... he was excited for the new baby. 

Austen's turn to hold Axton.... Dirk is wondering what his life will be like now! 

Grandma's turn to hold Axton Steele!

Picnic time at Grandma's.  Laura made hamburgers for everyone.

We had such a great time with everyone!  Thanks for coming to Grandpa's and Grandma's!

Playing in the Sand

Monday we drove down to Sand Hollow to play in the sand with Austen, Dirk, Ben and Tana. It was such a beautiful day. Blue skies, clear water, and not a drop of wind! The boys had fun playing in the sand and water. I took a few shots of them playing.

Digging a hole in the ground!

Say "Cheese"

Dirk with dirt on his face, in his hair, and he loves it!

Dirk follows Austen around wherever he goes, even in the deep water!

Come Back little ducks!
 The water was cool, but that was fine with the boys.

We had a great time and can't wait to go back with more grandkids next week!  The water was so clear and calm.  We sure live a beautiful place.
