Utah continued...fun hanging out at our cousin's house.

Darin's sister Darcie has 3 big dogs, to whom Landon took an instant liking. They were right at his viewing level, and he loved them. The one below is Maverick (I think...always go them mixed up), and he was so good with Landon-Lanny layed on him and the dog didn't move. There was a puppy named butch-who was not small, and he was a little stressful because he would run out the door every time my kids opened it, and they are not used to a dog, so guess how many times I went running down the street with a dog treat and leash. Oh, let's give Maverick a kiss:)
Um, I think you better wait a few years Landon.

Darcie lives on a cul-de-sac, and all the neighborhood kids were outside playing all the time and my kids loved it.
Spencer may need to wait a little bit as well. They were just all so happy to play outside and not have their mother constantly tell them not to go too far and not to run in the street.
More with the dogs-Lanny loves them so much. Spencer on other hand did not care for them one bit. At one point, after one too many times of the dog trying to steal his food he told Darin "I don't like Butch, he's not my friend." He really is a beautiful dog, just very active and started to grow on me in the end.

This is one amazing lady-Grandma Andrew. Darin's grandma, sot he kiddies great grandmother. She is in her mid 80's and still very active. She is a wonderful example for everyone who meets her. We love you Grandma and were so happy you could come as well.

My children had so much fun playing with their cousins Caleb and Aiden. They were in heaven with the huge-and I mean huge backyard with a swing set, sand pit, running around the neighborhood and all the fun toys. They rode on the power motorcycle and loved that as well. One time when we were leaving, we had to look for Jordan and she was playing in with a neighbor in their garage. It would be so fun to live in a neighborhood like that some day.

Caleb took all the kids for a ride on the motorcycle.

Landon loved wandering around. It is nice to be the corner house in a cul-de-sac.



We were so excited to see you Caleb and Aiden and can't wait until the family reunion next year!! Thanks for sharing all your great toys and and being so nice to your cousins!!
