Who can remember who took these pictures? When they were taken? And, where were they taken? I'll have to think of an appropriate award for the first person that knows the answer to all 3 questions!
The picture below is a close up of the picture above to show you Adalei's face painted princess fairy crown. It was the end of the event and Brielle really didn't want to be painted so only Adalei decided to have her first experience at face painting. Perhaps next year Brielle will join in as well.
I can't remember who gave her this cute shirt.
I'm not sure Brielle will be quite big enough to join Adalei next year but she's has the desire as soon as she gets the approval!
The picture above is Nate before his 10k race! Of course he ran in record time and did great! I wish I could remember the exact minute and second count - Nate, can you remind me?
This is Brielle above and Adalei below waiting for their first running competition!
Nate above giving high 5's half way through his race - he was looking great!
Look at cute Adalei and Brielle with their race awards - Popsicles, bubbles, and pencils. They finished their race!
This is the beginning of the children's race. I think it was a quarter mile long. Brielle decided she didn't want to run so Nate picked her up. I guess that was okay because she wasn't disqualified and it happened right at the starting line. You can see they were in last place at the start! but Brielle ended the race by running on her own and that qualified her for the awards! Brielle was the last one across the finish line and Adalei in front of her!
In the picture above you can see the race competition - Brielle was definitely the youngest!
Beautiful Misty watching the races! She looks great and you can't even tell she is pregnant. She hides it quite well. The baby is due October 4th! Doesn't she look wonderful in green?
This is the cabin we stayed in with 13 teenage girls. I was the Assistant Camp Leader for my ward. The cabin had no water or electricity. We were there for 4 days.
This is a picture of me with Louise (below), the Camp Director for our ward. She is really fun and I enjoyed spending the week with her. At the end of the week, we were given queen crowns, queen capes, and these queen flip flops (above). (Louise wore her flip flops to church the Sunday after camp but not me!) It was a really nice gesture of appreciation from the YW presidency. The camp theme was princess of a king for the girls so our gifts fit right in! (My feet are on the right above in case you are wondering!)
It was actually a tough week and we offered to be released but the Bishop declined our offer! So, we planned for camp next year already and hope it will be improved over this year's experience!
Brielle, Paisley, and Weston are so close together in age. Paisley was born 2 1/2 months after Brielle and Weston was just a month and a half after Paisley. So before Brielle I had one grandchild and 4 months later I had 4 grandchildren! I had to reduce my spending per child! Now I have 3 more on the way so by March I will have 7 grandchildren! I am going to be a busy grandmother!
Little Brielle on the run - she is a fast runner for her age and is always on the go!
Two cute smiles from Brielle in the picture above and also below.
I sure love this little girl - she gives me the best and longest hugs!
Princess Paisley is pretty in pink! What an innocent expression in the picture above!
I just love Paisley's facial expression..............
Here she is caught in the act (below)! I think I surprised her with my camera.
Weston has the cutest grin - I just love his smile and can't see it too often. His eyes light up and he looks so happy. I think Paisley has a hand on him in this picture. You can see that Jason is enjoying them also. I think this was right after we saw the elk in the field.
I just have to laugh when I see this picture below. Paisley is chasing Weston but she's not catching up very fast. You can see that Casey is walking nonchalantly behind them so he's there to protect them if they get too close to the edge with approximately a 20 foot drop. Paisley and Weston just love to be outside to run and run.
You will probably be surprised that this was the favorite play location. This is the bedroom where Charity and I slept in bunk beds. The yellow tub on the chest was filled with finger nail polish, lotions, etc. Paisley and sometimes Weston loved to dump them out or get them out one-by-one and throw them on the floor. Then they would pick them up and put them back into the yellow tub one-by-one. They were so funny to watch! I think they just liked the little bottles. (Weston is also checking out my CPAP mask!) Aren't they just darling little angels?!
I am so blessed to have such wonderful grandchildren!
Weston just loves his dad and I think there's some resemblance there in the picture above.
Weston's starting early to follow the little girl!
What a cute little innocent look! I love my little buddy! I still remember how he climbed up on the couch and hugged me when I was recovering from my surgery.
Weston loves his sticks which reminds me that I still have two special sticks on my porch that he played with when he was here in May.
I love this picture above. Weston entertained himself for a long time pushing this empty cooler around the kitchen/dining room floor. I just love how his little tongue is sticking out while he's hard at work!
I love Weston's smile in the picture above and how cute he is sitting in his chair.
The happy little greeter roaming the beach having a fun time all by himself..............
This picture is so adorable. Weston was having a great time scraping up the mud and throwing it down again. Little boys don't seem to be timid about this type of activity.
Now he's gathering pieces of bark to carry around. There were lots of fun objects on the beach to keep his attention. I really love watching him play.
This is such a cute picture - especially with Adalei and Ashley both wearing black shirts and tan pants!
Misty is holding Brielle in the picture above.
