Grandkids

We had a chance to get all nine of the grandkids together to take a quick picture.
As you all know getting that many to hold still and look at the camera, can be quite the process. But the kids all did well, and we were able to snap a few shots.
From L to R: Kinsey, Sydnee, Nathan, Chloe, Kylie, Rylee, Brailie, Allie, and Zachary

Thanksgiving 2010

This year for Thanksgiving we met in Monroe and celebrated the day at my mom and dad's new home. There were many from both the Parsons family as well as the Brian family. As you can see from the pictures, we had a very enjoyable dinner with lots of family.

The Night Before Thanksgiving

The before Thanksgiving some of the grandkids found the santa hats that my mom likes to use to take pictures in.
Rylee and Kylie, wanted to have a girls picture together. (Sydnee was asleep and the other girls were not there yet!)



Zach and Nathan being the only 2 boys with 7 girls in the family wanted to have their picture together too!



Here are the 4 of them together!



My dad with his hat! He has a new best friend on his lap.
The dog (Roxy- Ryan and Tristen's dog) followed him everywhere he went because he kept feeding her.



Nathan with Grandma!

Riding in the Fire Engine

While the activities were going on at the park, they were giving rides on the fire engine. Kylie, Zach, Nathan, and Allie (Uncle Greg too!) all caught the last ride of the day.
Zach had a great big smile on his face when he got off. He had a blast.

24th of July

For the 24th of July this year we went to Monroe, (which seems to have become a tradition that last couple of years.) This time we were not all staying all over the place at many different houses as we were all able to stay in my mom and dads new house in Monroe. It was great! Lots of room to move around for both the kids and the adults. The only thing missing for me was a great bed to sleep in. (Long story about blow up mattresses!)
Here most of us are waiting to watch the parade. We didn't get to the parade early enough so we ended up on the side of the street that had all the sun shining directly on us. But we ended up having fun even if we also got a little sweaty. We even got to see cousin Jesi, on her float. She was Miss Sevier 2nd Attendant.

4th of July

This year for the 4th of July I decided to have a booth at the park in Henefer. I had a couple of homemade items and also some of the Avon products that I sell. I did ok for the first year, if I can come up with some great ideas, I might do it again next year.

When we were done at the park, we hurried to Grandma and Grandpa's house to pick up Zach so that we could go and see the parade. Little did we know that the parade had already started and just as we were going to get in the car, the parade came right in front of the house. So the kids got the candy and we didn't have to go anywhere to see the parade. I liked that!

Cousin Whitney (WE) became one of Zach's favorite people this weekend, cause she would take him on rides on the four wheeler. (Don't worry everyone he always had a helmet on when they were moving.)

Playing with Cousins after Sydnee's Blessing

At the end of May we got together with Ryan and his family for the blessing of their little girl Sydnee, and to celebrate Nathan and Rylee's birthday's. I got a couple of pictures of all the kids playing together outside after we ate dinner, but unfortunately I did not get any of little Sydnee.

Plus one of Tristen's cousins, sorry I can not remember her name.

Kylie hitting the ball to Uncle Greg. She was hitting it a lot better than I thought she would.



Zach playing with Buzz Lightyears wings. (At least I think that is what it was.)

My new neice!

My new neice, Sydnee Grace was born on April 9th.
I went to the hospital to see her and had to settle for a picture of here through the nursery room window. After she was born the doctors were concerned about her breathing so they were monitoring her pretty closely.
I am proud to say that she soon got the breathing under control and she was able to go home as planned with her proud mommy, daddy, brother, and sister.

Easter Egg Hunt 2010

This year for Easter we are in Green River. Last year we started having an Easter Egg hunt with
the grandkids that were here, and we just had to do one again this year. My kids love being able
to go and look for eggs in Grandpa and Grandma's back yard.
Zack on the look out for some eggs. He was funny to watch because he would step right over the top of some if he saw one that was a little ways away.
