The Party Continues!!

Well, what a fun week we have had . Julie Turley and her cute boys made it and we started the fun at the waterpark. Dylan, Savannah, Kade, Josh,Mason and Logan hit the waves! Dylan actually mastered the boogie board with his side roll and front flip! It was awesome. Savannah did her side roll and had a little mishap with Her bottoms! BUTT it was worth it to complete the stunt! Way to hang with it Savannah!
Josh, Kade and Logan were all hang'in 10 and Mason rocked the over-the-top trick beautifully!
( He is so light that every time he got on the board, he would float right over the top!)
The rest of us were happy to float the lazy river and slide down the pirate ship plank. We ate hot dogs and had lots of laughs.
We wore everyone out! Our plan worked.
Friday we had a shopping day!
Sandy Stinger(my older sister from California) stopped in and we spent the day shopping with her.
She got some cute things and looked great!
What can I say..."What not to Wear" has nothing on me..except the pay check!
It was nice to catch up with her.
Next on the list was the OUTDOOR MOVIE!
We enjoyed an outdoor movie in our back yard including popcorn and snacks. Uncle Rob knows how to make a night fun.
Saturday morning came early...But Uncle Rob was up to the task, he took all kids the to breakfast at the Pavilion.
I think there was 15 in all.
The trip wouldn't be complete without a massive trip to the mall with13 kids in toe. What were we thinking! We will just leave it at that.
Julie, Jessica and I had fun staying up till all hourstalking, well until we were rudely interrupted by the sleep policeman.(Robert) He thought we were crazy but that is what these trips are all about.
Making Memories.
Thanks Ladies for coming and making great memories with my kiddos. I love you all. Can't wait till next time!

Remembering Grandpa Taylor

 

It has been 2 years since the passing of my dad. He was a wonderful man.

It was a beautiful sunny day to visit his grave. Tanya and her boys met us there. It was great to see them.

 

We have great memories of Grandpa Taylor. He had 12 children and 54 grand children and almost 100 great grand children. Grandma is still retelling the stories of his childhood and their 60 plus years of married life.We miss you!

We love you!  

You have an amazing posterity Dad!

On to Idaho

Next on our trip is a stop in Idaho!
There is nothing quite like a pig ride and a serenade by violin.
We stopped in to see Chris and Tiffany and their kiddos in Shelly Idaho. Dylan got a warm welcome from his cute cousins Zane, Tyler and Riley! They couldn't wait to show off their prize pigs! Since the fair is just around the corner they ride them to get them in top shape. Dylan couldn't resist! Us girls on the other hand, were serenaded by a violin solo by McCall. She is amazing. We missed Chris, he was working in Alaska but we enjoyed our stop in Shelly.

Blessings In Washington

This represents all the many faces, places and people that created a memorable trip in Washington. Starting with Brian"s Homecoming, water sliding and catching tadpoles. Paddle boats including Grandma Taylor to waterpark surfing and movie going. There was fun constantly and shakes/smoothies galore. We also had zip lining and Frisbee throwing in the wind and barbie playing( even though the wicked witch took them away!), Leg wrestling car driving, learning to blog(thanks Angie) and laughter and midnight card playing, smore making. These are some of the many blessing of Family. Suzy and Steve, Cory,Lori and Payden, Dustin and Brian, Angie, Parker,Kasidee(kasi),Addison(Addi), Bailey and Reilynn, Grandma Taylor and .Me and my kiddos, Dylan, Bonnie, Savannah and Jessica! The only thing missing from our party was Mark,Robert, Dakota and Ashlee! We love you ALL!!

                                                                      See...We are lucky!

All four of the kiddos are under 16 so they all got to ride today....I also snagged a ride with Dylan and Jessica
