Helen & the EJs - Dinner at my house

After a busy morning (birthday boy shoot) my brother and his family came over for dinner.  Can't believe it's almost over... they only have one week left before they leave...  :(

Some of my fav images from this evening...

Everyone staring at my husband playing on his 'toy' the excavator in our backyard... (Well, he did have Elijah on it with him and actually let Elijah pick up a few rocks with it.) too funny...

Then, of course, my brother had to get in on the "fun..." Us girls... we don't get it. lol

 

1st Birthday Shoot

My favs from this morning...

Lagoon Fun!

Fun day at Lagoon with the family!  Some of my favorite images... (taken with my phone)

 

I'm usually all for going on any and all roller coasters.  But for some reason I just couldn't bring myself to ride Wicked.... at first...  Here my family is trying to convince me to ride. 

 

 

Two cute cousins patiently waiting to ride the bumper cars.

 

Marley trying NOT to get wet...  She's so funny..

Wii, cuddling and bunnies

Had the kiddies overnight..  After a fun filled day up in Eden with my brother and his family we headed home for the night.  Here they are playing the Wii.  AJ thinks he's doing it, too..

Later on, Marley tried out our new steps in the backyard, while AJ cuddled up with papa and played under the table. 

After the kiddies went home 'our' little bunny decided to make an appearance..  So cute.  I love all the 'wildlife' we have in our backyard.  We sometimes see deer, foxes; the bunnies come around a lot lately and of course, lots of squirrels :/ and the oh so cute quail and their babies..  Love them! 

Favorite Image(s) from today

Trying to keep with my current trend, actually posting every day....

Spending the majority of our time hanging out w/family.  I can't seem to stop taking pictures of my littlest grandson...  Such a cutie..

Awww, Elijah's upset about something..  :(

Tried to take the bubs swimming but he's so cute everyone wanted to get in his little face.  He didn't like it much....

Helen & the EJs - Visit to the Brigham City Temple

Was invited to visit the temple, prior to it's dedication, by my parents' builder.  Had been in one before (the Bountiful one) but the rest of my family had not.  It's very interesting, especially the first time. 

Thought it looked really good in B&W as well..

Afterwards, went to eat at one of our favorite places, Maddox. Yum!!! Then went over to Connie's where Melinda and her little family joined us and we just hung out some more. Overall, GREAT day!
