We were thrilled this month to have my parents drop in for a visit. They are foreign missionaries for the International Mission Board and are currently living in St Vincent, a Caribbean island just off the coast of Venezuela. This makes for lots of amazing adventures, but makes family get-together's a bit challenge! We look forward every year to their visit, and so much love spending time together and just hanging out. The boys love birding and archery with Grandpa. Grandpa is an amazing story teller too! We all love listening to stories from his childhood and the intriguing and exciting stories from his imagination. Granny is the master of activities and always brings some kind of new craft for the kids to enjoy. She loves to sew and she and Lindsey enjoyed making beautiful clothes for all her dollies. Of course we enjoyed lots of shopping, caught up on some of this years best movies, and enjoyed the wonderful local restaurants in Cache Valley. We couldn't resist a fun trip down to Salt Lake, visiting with family and enjoying an afternoon at the Hogle Zoo. What fun! Bill and I even snuck away for a little get away! Yeah!
We loved every moment we had them and were sad to see them go. The perfect visit! Love you Granny and Grandpa! Thank you for all the wonderful memories!
The Kiddo's
Bryson, Scott, Alec, Zachary and Lindsey
Bryson
Bryson is 14 and in the 10th grade. He loves music and is an avid reader. He is one of the best read people we know! Bryson is a well of knowledge, and provides commentary for just about any topic, and is never sarcastic:) He plays the trumpet in the band and likes to tinker with piano. He is an aspiring cook and loves to keep our bellies full of tasty cookies and treats. Bryson is adored by his little sister and is a wonderful big brother to her.
Scott
Scott is 13 and in the 8th grade. He is an excellent student and plays the french horn in the band. He is always quick to smile and a great big brother. His love of music reaches far past band as his ipod is his constat companion. He keeps our home full of music of all varieties ranging from Wierd Al to U2 to Jimmy Eat World. Here are a few of his fav's:
Alec
Alec is 11 and in 6th grade. As our most "spirited" child he is always at the heart of all the goings on in our home. Alec is rarely found with out a smile on his face, usually from all his mischief making! Alec also has a very tender heart. He loves animals, especially our dog Roxy. Alec was excited to start orchestra this year, and of course had to pick the biggest instrument possible, the BASS! Way to go Aly-Cat!
Zachary
Zachary is 6 and in 1st grade. He is such a sweet, sweet boy. He is perpetually happy and finds great joy is lifes little pleasures. Zach is often found singing or humming a little tune, and we often tease that he is bound to be a super hero because he has his own theme song:). He loves being a cowboy and playing with his special little toys (he has quite a Star Wars and Indiana Jones collection!). He loves to play football with his dad and "buckin' bull's" on the trampoline. A wonderful big brother, Lindsey absolutely adores him, as does most every one who knows him!
Lindsey
Lindsey is 4 and a GIRL! She has been such a joy to our family. She is such a girl, loving dolls and pink and purple, dressing up and pedicures, and drama! She is absolutely adored by her big brothers and never fails to make them laugh. She keeps pace with them quite well and is a pretty rough and tumble little princess. Of course she has mom and dad wrapped around her little finger too!
