Whew!

Summer 

 has become a whirlwind of little visitors...

Angela, John & girls arrived two days early and

SURPRISED ME

at my friends house.

I just sat and stared at them all.

Couldn't quite wrap my head around why 

three little girls came running towards me yelling,

"Nana.....Nana!"

Getting together with their other cousins

was the highlight of their days...

playing on the swing set, in the play room,

coloring, cutting, gluing, stapling!

On my birthday we drove to Star Valley to take the girls to Star 6 Ranch 

and to go out to lunch at

Rocky Mountain Seafood!

This is a picture of the little ones in my sister's chicken coop

gathering her eggs for the day!

We also went down to the 

Pea & Raspberry Patch...

to our tummies delight.

Playing in the back yard

 running through the sprinklers and 

playing on the slip and slid, picking raspberries,

 was so fun for them!

Big Jud's 

 (in Archer, Idaho)

is a tradition it seems...

I love, love, love their fries, 

but we weren't too happy that it took our food 

1 hour to come to our table!!!

(This just includes the happy pictures... not the ones where we

started feeding the kids fry sauce...!)

We all went to church with Jamie and Aaron.  

We grabbed this quick pic before with new little Lila in it!

So grateful for these precious, sweet, noisy, wonderful grandchildren to touch and bless my life.

So many times Papa's name was brought up.

They miss him... it's just not the same!
