April Family Reunion

So I believe it wasn't really a reunion (no cheesy t-shirts, no rentals on the beach), but it was a family gathering.  Max's oldest cousin Kaylee was baptized this past Saturday.  The family got together to support her and also to celebrate her 8th Birthday.  We went to the hot springs, did some bowling, took some pictures, and went shopping of course.  Even the Men hit up Home Dept together.  It's weird witnessing Jake's younger siblings grow up.  I've known them for 6 years now and they are no longer "kids" to me. Tyler is driving now and Ashley is already finishing up her first year in college.  Our niece Kaylee was 2 when Jake and I were married and now she is old enough to be baptized.    It makes me reflect on my little boys and how much they have changed since we moved to Logan this past Summer. 

I was able to take some pictures at the hot springs.  Max is scared of the water due to an incident that happened last year.  He refused to swim until he was able to play basketball with Grandma Barb.  We were grateful that she was there to convince him to go back in.

Nothing but net!

This was the best pic I could get  of Cheyenne.  She refused to let me take one.

Max on the ride home.  He was out!

They enjoyed kiddie bowling.  Here's Mya, Dex, Jake, and Jake's crack. 

Grandpa Ralph and Ben.

Jake's Dad made a toy chest for the kids and needless to say it has been a real hit around here.  Unfortunately, it's still empty.

It's a great way to boost them up so they can watch the cars outside. 

Then they realized it was a good dance platform.....

until they almost fell off. 

Dexter spent 20 minutes just opening and shutting it. 

Then I walked in and they told me they were setting sail.
