THE BEEEEEACH!

We had SO much fun at the beach! It started off a little cool...but then it got nice and warm and we were all enjoying ourselves! To get things going we buried all the grandkids!

And planted a garden!

Sadly...the only one missing is Lekai...but I think I can convince Chad to digitally add his head

: )

Cute little Boston! He's such a boy! He got wiped out by the waves a couple times and while everyone else complained he was like "That was SO awesome!!!!" lol. Love him!

Mikkelle kept falling asleep in the sand...so we propped her hat on her head and snapped a shot. She hung out like this for a while!

I think it must have been warmer in the sand!

and yes she is under there!

Cute little McCoy! Last I saw McCoy he was so little and quiet! Now whenever he says something he yells it! You always know when McCoy is around! I love it!

Cute Alicia and Dan. As fun as this vacation was I think they need a vacation from their vacation.

Not sure what Kayden was doing at the time, but he was having a blast rolling around in the sand!

Sweet little Ryland does many projects with his sea shells. He collects them. This was only a short while after we had arrived and he already had a large handful!

Poor skinny kid was freezing the whole time though!

Haha...some time later...she's still in the sand!

Aaa....Dacie! Mikkelle's gal pal! They had so much fun together! She's such a little beauty!

Lekai was in Heaven. He gets held a lot anyway, but I don't think he was set down alone once in 2 weeks! He loved every minute of it!

This trip was my first time meeting little Rhett! Sad that I missed all his cute baby months but wow! What a cutie! I love all his little expressions! He is a sweetheart!

I love the beach, and listening to the waves! I spent most my time relaxing and softening my feet with God's exfoliator...sand!

Of course Kelby had to get in his "man" picture! And a MAN he is!!! toot toot!!!

Brave children, that water was FREEZING!

The caves...for some reason the camera decided to focus on the flurries...but I thought it looked kinda cool still!

Cute Mikkelle walking the beach....

And enjoying every minute of it!!!

BLoCk PaRtY!

Kelby and I used Pioneer day as an excuse to throw a party!

We had lots of games for the kids and even had prizes!

It was pretty HOT so we had bobbing for apples so the kids could keep kool

Random, but this was our first tomato from our garden. It's was delicious (o.k. I was gonna quote something but I think I'll veto that idea).

Haha, take it Edward! (Does my tomato DAZZLE you?)

Poor Mikkelle! "No Touchy!"

WAY TOO MUCH FOOD! But it was yummy! Thanks everyone!

Donut competition!

Dylan Won. Obviously.

Haha, slacker. 

Bean Bag toss!

Morgan's so cute!

Hello Hyrum! 

Boston and Mikkelle were trying to get the same donut! They were laughing so hard it was hilarious! 

Little did we know that we were going to have ALL the grand kids at out house! MADNESS! But FUN MADNESS!

We ate popcorn and watched Monsters Inc for the kids and Clover field for the adults on a projector we borrowed from a friends (notice my house is destroyed in picture about lol)

And of course fireworks! Kelby and I bought a few but Pam and Anthony bought the MOTHER LOAD, and it was a blast!

Kinda cool...

And of course Sparklers for all the kids! 

Although it was extremely hot that day, it was a lot of fun! 

Kelby and I love putting little parties together lately and hanging out with friends and family! It was great to see you Dan and Alicia! Glad you guys dropped by!
