Kayla is 16 - WOW

Kayla is 16 this year.  Can't believe how fast time has flown by.  We were able to torture her after the fact.  Crystal and Pam got her socks to wear for basketball that has a batman symbol on them and we went down memory lane with pictures from each year.  Here are just a few.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYLA!!!!!

Davis Mini Reunion

Jason and his family decided that they would stop by on their way home from the Westwood Reunion at Lake Powell.  So we decided to see if everyone else could come over to Grand Jct and we would have a mini reunion since Carrie was already here.  THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR SHOWING UP AND ALL YOU DID TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE!!!

It was wonderful to watch all the grandchildren reconnect with each other.  As they get older some of the pairing off was a little different but no one was left out.

Jordan 3rd week

 Another week on the mountain.  JL surprised Carrie and came up to be with us for two weeks.  He didn't realize that this is the big week of work :)  We are building the fence line this week plus moving dirt to make a bigger driveway at the Hide Away cabin.  We are also doing the hikes for Justin's scouting.  Fun times

Jordan 2nd week

Came off the mountain and had tons of painting to do.  So we put the kids to work.  They were awesome.  They painted the hitching rails, cover poles, and a few other things.  Then it was play time and the red neck water slide came into play.  Didn't realize what a hit it would be.

Kaylynn's birthday

Jordan Family visit week one

First part of the week we had a little freedom before Meeker boys arrived.  Cody and Grandpa had a pretend animal stand off.  Carrie and I stayed out of the way :)  This is just a few of the things that we did.  

 Harold and kids went to check on the beaver activity

 Justin had to make a fire so Grandpa helped show him how.  Of course with a fire you must roast marshmallows.  It is a tradition.
