Owen's a great cook and made us no bake cookies

Wade will be 2 in Feb. and is such a character. He really talks a lot

It's good to see Kyle down here. He works hard at the bakery! And so does everyone else this time of year.

Back to Arizona

We are moving so it will be fun to be closer to cute little Ashlyn

and Sadie

All of our grandkids are so cute, we wish we could be closer to all of them!

Even our kids are pretty cute!

Holidays will be fun! We will be closer to at least half of our grandkids, The rest we will just have to visit a lot!

Jake a little embarrassed getting his picture taken at work

Michael not embarrassed, but I didn't get his Manager's badge

Sisters, Evie and Lauren

Michael and Megan, couldn't get a serious picture of Michael but Megan is cute!

More from Arkansas

We've spent a couple of days sight seeing with just Evie

You can tell by her grin, she often wants to go in a different direction than we do

This is at Pea Ridge, a civil war military site

Ethan getting his picture taken under duress

Tipical seen at the Hatch's, some coming and some going

Bentonville Arkansas

We're at John's in Arkansas visiting and getting ready for Griffith's Baptism. Gabe is getting very good at the piano

Jenni isn't really getting ready to his Connor. Good picture of Connor, not so good of Jenni

Griffith having after school snacks

Jake lives in Arkansas now and he's just getting ready to go work out before going to work. Wow I just noticed Lauren in the background. Pretty good action picture hu!

Jake again. He's going to NW Arkansas community college, working at Papa Murphy's and at PF Chang's. He's tired and never home but he's hanging in there. I'm very proud of him even though there have been a few bumps on the way.

Guess Where we were this week end

John & Jenni called and were going to Lynn Nelson's 70th Birthday, all the kids showed up and surprised her at the temple. This is cute little Evie getting ready to dog pile on her cousins. You can tell she has lots of brothers.

John with Josh Thompson, Kathryn's husband, and son

Jenni Joan, Jessica, Chantel, Jenni, Evie and Matt

Kathryn, Jessie Matt and Lynn, Bob was around somewhere

Love this picture! Tatum Cottam, Isa Thompson, Elle Nelson. There were many cute photo ops of Evie Hatch, Ivy Cottom, and Mimmi Thompson, they are all about 1 1/2 but you have to be quick and not take time to socialize. Les did a pretty good job though

Keeping Busy

It was a beautiful day so we decided to go ATVing to our favorite place

It's quite a job getting ready, I guess, you don't see me out there!

Pilots Peak is a beautiful area. It's the highest mountain so you look down on all the other mountains from here. The bathroom facilities aren't great. No door on the porta-potty and it's strictly bring your own tp!

But the view from the restroom is beautiful and quite restful!

Pilot's Peak is actually a ranger station for fires and a satalite station for the media also. We sit on the cement patio you see out front and eat our lunch and enjoy the beautiful view. The trail is getting quite bad but it's worth the view! I will miss this about Idaho.
