Fathers and Sons

Dad was in charge of the Fathers and Sons camp-out this year and he did a great job. He also took all three of our little monkeys with him. what a brave man!

 Setting up the tent

 Tin foil dinners

 A brother in the ward brought a whole bag of pistachios and Kyle made a new friend. He went right up to him and started sharing :) 

 They made a lot of friends in the ward.

Memorial day weekend Sailing

Our ward had another 5k for memorial day weekend. we were all geared up and ready to go. Unfortunately, The bike got a flat within the first half mile, so Mom had to walk Adam and Colin back to the start. Dad and Aunt Milla and Kyle made it the whole way though! 

It was cold but the food was great!

Later we went sailing. Dad has been itching to take our new sail boat out on the lake and today was the fist day in almost weeks that it hasn't been raining. We all had a lot of fun. (though Adam was a little cold) we can't wait until next time Dad!

Handy man

Grandpa Gleason is our hero. We had a lot of things to get done around the house and we were going to pay separate individuals to get it all done, but Grandpa Gleason found out and stepped in before it was too late. He fixed a busted pipe, took down our monster dead tree, and fixed a toilet (thanks to whatever son thought it was a good idea to flush a deodorant stick down there)! We learned our lesson. If we need a good handy man, ask Grandpa first!

Colin

this kid is growing up! Luckily he still loves to snuggle

family night fun

Have you ever played the flour game?

 You should try it.

 It's loads of fun.

Sick days

We all slept horribly last night

Its no fun being sick

Payson Temple Open House

This was a bad time to take a photo because the sun was right in out eyes, but the rest of the trip was wonderful.  Aunt Milla joined us to walk through this beautiful temple. It is gorgeous! The whole temple was breath-taking and huge! It was made even more special to be able to say that Grandpa Gleason and Uncle Jason helped build this.  I am pretty sure we will be back. I think my favorite part was the sealing rooms but it was all so beautiful is was difficult to pick! I love that my sweet family can be eternal, because of the Ordinances preformed in Temples.

California Wedding

Dads great friend from his younger years, Michael Adamski, got married this weekend and Dad was asked to be a grooms men. so we all piled in the mini van and made a quick trip to California. A great time was had by all (except Colin who was suffering from yet another ear infection). The Wedding was lovely as was the reception, and for the practice dinner Michael gave us a tour of the State capitol building! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for letting us stay such a short time. next time we will stay a little longer :)

It's that time of year again!
