Visit to Arizona

After we went to Cambria Hatch's baptism in CA, Stacey, me and her 3 kids packed up and went to AZ to see Mark, Molly and their 2 kids. This is Owen Bishop almost 4 with Ashlyn Jolley, just turned 2.
OK, so I'm not a good photographer, and almost cut of Ashlyn's head as she is next to her little sister Sadie who is already 6 months old.
It was really hot, but the kids had fun in the water, we even went to a great water park. Molly has just moved in to her new home, and it has a big yard, which will be great when they get it done.
This is for Stacey's older brother and sisters, Wade was 15 months old when this was taken, and he preferred to push something rather than walk. Stacey was 17 months old, so you still have plenty of time Wade. I can't believe Sponge Bob is on in the back ground, but great picture of the tv show, not so much of Wade's face. What a cutie.
When the kids get together they like to do art projects. Budding artists at work. Looks like Mark still has a few craft projects left in the new home as well. It's looking great though. I was surprised how much they have done.

Visit with Bishops Family in California

We went to California over Mother's Day for Cambria, Josh's daughter's baptism. While there we stayed with Stacey and her family. Stacey had to go into the bakery one day, so Owen, Wade and I went to the Mall for a few hours. Grandma's know the best way to babysit. Sometimes it involves buying lego's.

This is hi-tech Wade watching a movie in the back seat of the car. Mothers also know the best way to take care of kids.

This is Wade eating an "Old Town Baking Company"cinnamon roll. Can it get any better than having your dad own a bakery?

This is Owen ready for the Baptism. A few days later I asked if I could comb his hair, he said OK, but just don't give me church hair. This must be church hair. He also told me not to spike his hair or no one would know who he is.

Posing with his sister Averi might not be his favorite thing. How could it not. Look how cute she is.

Cambria Hatch's Baptism

I can't believe Josh's oldest, Cambria, is old enough to be baptized!

She is so sweet and polite and knowledgeable. After the baptism, she bore her testimony, then asked her mom and dad to do the same. They were both crying and had a difficult time getting up.

It was such a good day for her having so much family and friends around. It was great to see the Hampton's again. The sad thing about divorce is it's hard , not to see the other side of the family and socialize anymore.

This is Gunner, Josh's youngest, in the foreground with the rest of Josh's family. He looks a lot like Josh.

I like Josh's wife, Roxy's new hair do. She has been so patient with Josh being out of work for so long with his injuries from the wreck on the train. He has finally had all his surgeries and hopefully will be back to work next month.

Pictures From Oregon in April

This was at Lindsay's in-law's house in Washington. It's surprising how fast a Christmas tree can burn!

Chris and his dad ATVing, Chris loves to ride and feels he his doing all the work.

It was such a beautiful day for that time of the year, we had a great time.

Randy has a new work shop and is so talented. It was great to see what he was doing.

Collin, a friend of the kids is in the foreground, has been a friend of the kids since he was little, he goes away to college now, but when he is home, he is still there eating. Even if the kids aren't there, he'll come in and make himself a sandwich. When you have a lot of kids, you just don't notice.
