Grand Junction

I just love spending time with this foursome!  Sam and Ben are growing up so fast.  I am sad that I am missing it, but I'm still happy to get days like these with them.

Eating popsicle.  Ben didn't want a picture with "naked" kids.

Ruby is a very sweet 9 month old golden.  We all fell in love with this precious addition to the Garmany family.  Ruby just got in trouble for eating one of the kids balls so Olivia is reading her a book.

Ike is really coming around to dogs.  We are lucky to have some sweet ones to visit.

Scooting and walking Ruby

Loving the pool!  Sam put the noodle up to his ear and told Olivia to talk into the other end.....  In true Via style she screamed into it.

We also spent some time with Jayme, Aiden, and Caleb.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the boys.

Goodbye Wyoming

It is always so sad when our summer Wyoming trip is over.  It gets more fun every year!  The bigger all the kids get the busier we are.  I look forward to all our future adventures during the many summers to come.  

Uncle Ryan against all four.  He can still take them all on......for now at least....

We all watched as Ryan and Lindsay had a new shed delivered in their backyard. Entertaining kids (and us) can be so easy sometimes. 

We spent plenty of time at the Greybull park.

A special treat

Ike and Via playing with all the kids at the Vanderploeg house.

The kids spent a lot of time playing in the new gravel with all the tractors and toys that Gammie and Grandpa found at yard sales.

This is the first summer the kids really started enjoying some afternoon time at the Basin pool.  I spent SO much time here as a child and love taking my kids.

Sprinklers and Trampolines.  Goodtimes!

Warming up

Sweet, sweet cousins!

Olivia and I loved cuddling the kitties at Skye's house.  It is so temping to get one.  Olivia has been asking for one for awhile.  We will see....

We took two little trips that were so close to home.  Red Gulch and Devil's Kitchen were both between Greybull and Shell.  We had never been and the kids had a good time exploring.

Devil's Kitchen

Happy 60th Grammie!!

Today we celebrated a wonderful woman in our lives.  We love her so much and it was so special that we all had the opportunity to be together on this special day.

The morning started with basketball, trucks in the gravel, and sidewalk chalk.

Grammie and Aunt Sandy helping the kids.

Grammie's favorite meal is ceral so we had a cereal bar for her birthday lunch.

She was surprised and loved it!

Everyone together for an early supper.

Love!

July Fourth in Wyoming

First stop of the day was the parade in Ten Sleep, WY

Then we all headed over the the Ten Sleep splash pad to cool off.

After getting back to Basin Denny went to Greybull to check out Probst.  He came home with some adorable boots for both kids.

Ry, Linds and boys came over with some fun fireworks for the kids.  This was a great warm-up for the evening.

Then we all headed to Worland to David and Jody's house.  All the kids had so much fun together!  Gavin, Drew, Payton, Elly, Jace, Kade, Ike and Via.  They did a lot of fireworks, went for a quick swim in the backyard, jumped on the trampoline, played in the neighbors sand box and ate some yummy food!

Matt was trying to help the kids and show them how to do this confetti firework.  He had it backwards and it all ended up at his feet. 

Dad and his boys

Week ONE in Wyoming

Back together again!  Their first meal together. I love how excited they always are to see each other.

Helping grandpa move gravel with the tractor.

Shooting some hoops.

Enjoying some playtime at the Basin pool.  They are trying to catch Grammy.

Grammie catching Olivia after jumping off the diving board.

We took all of the kids to the circus in Worland.  One of their favorite parts was when spider-man made an appearance. 

All the kids love the neighbor dog Pearl.  She is such a sweet girl and even Ike enjoys hanging out with her.  Ike has never been a big fan of dogs.
