A Great September!

We got five of the six grandkids together; what a cute bunch! Max, Ezra, Ellie, Isabella, and William.

Ellie and her bud Tucker play all the time; usually peacefully.


Ezra decided he liked dogs. Here he is with Fox.


Ellie is just one of the dogs sometimes. "Maybe Gma's home!"

That Gma reads one mean story!

"You just gotta love me."

Ellie appears to be happier than William about this encounter.

Ellie's 1st birthday. Cool chair of her own.

Izzie and William decided to test-drive it too.


...and new blocks too!

Max go a bow and arrow set. He loves dressing up and pretending. He's a smart boy.



Gpa and Ezra just chillin watching a movie.

It was so nice that of course we soon had company.
We spent a nice day at the temple before Jake headed off on his mission to El Salvador.

What a beautiful temple and two very lucky parents.


Dad, Jake, Mom and Hayley.




Nancy and Jay Rollins, two of Jake's favorite people and seminary teachers. Their son Michael is Jake's age and is in Argentina.


Gma makes people smile.


Ellie loves playing on the trampoline with her daddy.


And Adam found a place to get away from the crowd.

Max doing his best Superman super-fast running.


Gpa showed up for the rough stuff.



Jake is proving he still has the "right stuff" of a 12-year-old Jake; here doing his famous back-flip.


Loads of fun.


"Ring around the rosie" is Ellie's favorite game; and everyone else's as well.

"...all fall down!"


Hey Dad! Come home soon.


Canine shenanigans as well.


Jumping with Gpa.


Nice hair Ellie.


The kitchen is a busy place.


The kids love the beach and the sand.

This girl LOVES the water!

Had to take time for a lunch break.


So which food group is peanut butter in?

One, Two, Three....GO IZZIE!

















Putting mud on Gpa's legs seems like a "good activity".
