Mom's and TLC

We've had Katie, Lucas and Kody with us the past few days. Katie has been very sick so we brought her and the boys back with us. After a trip to the Dr. and two antibiotics she's feeling a lot better. I'm so glad I have the summer's off (from work) to have had some time to help her. I was always so glad when my mom came and helped after I had my babies. Nothing like a little TLC from moms! We met Jed in Ogden today. We'll sure miss them although I'm sure they're ready for a break from all of us!

Lucas and Kody (2 weeks old!)

Week of Fun!

Just a "few" pictures from my week with the Valentine Family! Kody is darling and has been such a good baby. Lucas has been wonderful with him! He loves to hold and kiss him.

Such a good brother!

Kody Jedediah Valentine

We got our new grandbaby yesterday. He made his grand entrance at 3:58 a.m. July 16th. He weighed 7lbs. 3 oz. and is 18 1/2" long. He's perfect, adorable, sweet, soft, darling, etc., etc., etc. They brought him home today so I get to play "grandma" 24-7 for the next few days. Nothing better than that! I don't know how to post pictures on Katie's computer. She'll have to help me tomorrow maybe! Lucas has been such a cute big brother. He's always says "so tute" and kisses his head. Katie and Jed are such good parents to these cute little boys. They are "extremely" tired tonight though.

WIGHT REUNION

This past week was the Wight Reunion at Beaver Mountain. It's a big reunion on Mark's mother's side. We didn't go until Thursday (started Wednesday) due to a funeral in our ward. The first day was nice and cool. It turned very hot on Friday. The nights cooled off nicely though.
Ryan Welling was in charge of the "Family Follies". He did a great job and they were very fun for the kids (and adults) who participated. It was a lot of fun to watch them.
Landon, Tawnya, Jessi and Lucas came up Friday and stayed the night.

Lucas having so much fun on the huge lawn.

Sponge relay. Jessi was first so she didn't get too wet. (Green team didn't win this one!) This was hilarious! These two teams crashed! (The teams are blindfolded and the kids on the sled tell them to go "right" or "left".

Five man gunny sack race (green team not doing so hot!)

Roy and Hal braiding ropes - (the hit of the reunion!) The kids could pick the colors they wanted and make a rope out of twine.
Nappy in the "shoe scramble". Green team lost - again!

Leanne "cranking" the ropes.

Happy 4th of July!

Hope everyone had a fun 4th of July! Ours was pretty boring for the most part. We didn't plan anything spectacular. Went to the annual Honeyville Fire Department Pancake Breakfast then I took Jess down to meet Katie, Jed and Lucas in Bountiful. She was exercising her "Independence" and bought their car from them. She needs a more reliable car for college. We were hoping to get back for the parade but it was over - (lasted 20 minutes!). Jessi and a friend went to a movie and the fireworks but we stayed home. We could see some of the fireworks from our house.
We took a ride last night up to the Call Reunion. (AC and Shara couldn't go to it so we thought we would!). We wanted to check out the place for future reunions. Very nice place. It's the Little Bear River Resort in Paradise, UT. We had dinner with them and had a very nice visit. Thanks Calls for inviting us over!
Mark had been off this week from LaZBoy. It's felt like Saturday everyday! He has been busy fixing boots and making bedrolls. Trying to get caught up a little.
We are anxiously awaiting the phone call from Katie and Jed. Nothing yet. Maybe today!
We had good news from Tawnya and Landon. Their baby is a girl! Now I can do more pink blankets!
