Birthday Party Invitations

Norene and Judene put invitations on the doors up and down our hall inviting who knows who to a birthday party. I was so relieved when only family showed up. Anybody else would have expected booze on St. Patrick's Day.

Mexico Cruiise

This is Cabo. We loved Cabo for it's snorkeling. To the left of the picture is Lovers Island. We took a "glass bottom boat" (fiberglass) to the island and saw the most beautiful huge fish. After I stopped hyperventilating, this was my favorite activity of the cruise. I think I was just cold.:)

Braiden's Birthday

All Braiden wanted for his birthday was golf clubs. Kelly is going to have to brush up on his game to stay ahead of the boys now.

First Day of Schoool

Caleb and his buddy Spencer are off to their first day of school as the oldest at school. It's hard to believe he will go to middle school next year.

Ray Reunion in Pine AZ

The Ray reunion (or convention as Kelly calls it) was a hit this year. Thank you to the Spiels for the fun time. With nicer sleeping accommodations this year, Kelly realized he could now anticipate many more wonderful Ray reunions. I realize I grew up in a wonderful situation. Pine was beautiful. Thank you Mom & Dad. It looks like Devin & Nicole didn't wait around for this picture to be taken.

Eagle Fun Days

According to Nicole, the water parade of fire trucks in Eagle is "the largest water fight in the world". It was fun seeing Devin run for cover like a girl. Then Kelly made him come back and take it like a man.






Braiden is using Tiffany as a shield or maybe he doesn't think she is wet enough.

Don't ask how much it took to bribe Jamo to do this. He sang "No Air" with shalese Kofoed.

Island Park

He kept leaving me in the dust literally.

They about tipped the boat 5 times.

We had a great time at Island Park with the Gneitings. For Father's Day, Devin and Nicole gave Kelly a weekend at his family's cabin. All of the Gneitings joined us the last day. The only problem was it was bad fishing that week. It was just too cold. The boys tried to out fished Kelly with this weak excuse of a fish. Kelly said his was way bigger but of course it was catch-and-release so we will never know.
