Prince Men

A couple of weekends ago Carrie and Loren Roundy were in town visiting so we had a quick Prince get together at Aunt Frances's house. There was food, fun and family. Of course no Prince get together is complete without some sort of competition to see which of the male attendees is the manliest. In this case it was a pull up contest. I believe the winner was Jay, but you can never REALLY declare a winner in these sorts of things since the rules are always unclear and up for debate. I managed to snap a few pictures to document the classic scene. Enjoy!

Marathon

A couple of weekends ago we went to Logan to watch John run in a marathon. We got a hotel room in Brigham City the night before and drove into Logan the next morning to cheer him on. After we stopped a few times and got directions to the marathon route from a gas station attendant and a sheriff, we found mile 18 and waited. It was fun to cheer on the athletes and to meet other spectators waiting to encourage friends and family. When John passed us on mile 18 Lee was on the phone so in the picture, I am running with Kate in my arms and holding the phone up so John could say hi to Lee. After mile 18 Marshall had to head back to Draper with Charger but me and Kate went to the finish line. I forgot to charge the camera before we left Draper so we had to buy a disposable one from the Maverick to make sure we captured the big finish. But unfortunately between my lack of skills and having to wind between shots, the finish line pics didn't turn out as clear as I would have hoped. Oh well, we had a great time and it was really exciting to watch John do something so challenging and amazing! Way to go John!








Cousins

Before my mom had to go back to Texas, while everyone was still in town, we got together with Jill and Lee at the Farmer's house in Centerville. While we were there visiting we got some fun pictures of the cousins all together. Enjoy!

Fun with the Family!

When everyone came for the blessings we had an evening all together with my dad and his family. First John met us at Kangaroo Zoo in Pleasant Grove. Me, John, William and Steven ran around racing up and down the inflatable slides while Marshall and Emmie refereed and Dad watched baby Kate. Then we all headed back to the Spring Hills Suite at Thanksgiving Point where we met up with Lee, Jill, Ella and Abe for some pizza and swimming. The hotel pool was really crowded so we went next door to Thanksgiving Point where we has some ice cream and visited the Farm Country. It was fun to watch Ella and the boys feed the animals and ride the ponies with no fear. That visit was also the first time we met Abe and the first time Lee, Jill, Ella, Emmie and the boys got to meet Kate. Enjoy the slide show of our fun evening together! (Also, please ignore any adds that pop up at the end of my slide shows.... it comes with the program and I don't know how to make them stop ;)
