Holt Reunion

Kimball's family's reunion theme this year was "Families Are Forever." There have been a lot of emotions in the past 6-7 months with JoAnn passing away and Bob getting remarried. What a wonderful theme for a reunion, huh? We love Marge, Bob's new wife, and we feel like the Holt family has pulled together and gotten closer through the hardship of losing their mom.

Us with Marge and Dad

He knows what it means to smile now. :)

We swam at Veyo Pool and everyone loved it! The big boys played some game that involves catching a ball and it gives them a big thrill. I guess little boys are the same way. :-)

McKay's favorite part of the reunion was playing in grandma and grandpa's sand/dirt box. With shovels and pails and tractors, what else do you need?

The wedding

McKay's grandpa Holt got married August 6th! We are happy for him to have found such a wonderful lady and hope the best for them! We enjoyed being in the temple all together and then having a blast at their reception. They had a live band and we danced the whole time!

Bob & Marge with all of his kids
Marge chose green, yellow, and orange for her colors. The decorating was absolutely beautiful!

Park City

The best thing we did at Park City was play at the Olympic Park. They had several Olympians in training while we were there and it was cool to watch them. The zip lines were a lot of fun and you can tell by McKay's big smile below that sitting in the bobsled was his highlight. ;)

We ended our trip by taking a stroll on Temple Square. The flowers were gorgeous! Thanks to mom and dad for such a wonderful trip!

4th of July Parade

At the family reunion, we all dressed up and had our own 4th of July parade. McKay was not too fond of the dressing up idea (he's probably thinking, "I'm not a girl!!!") We at least got a tail on him which stayed there most of the time because he couldn't see it...he he he.

Summer Adventures

We have had quite a fun summer!! We had a family reunion in Hobblecreek Canyon near Springville, Utah. We had a blast. McKay did really well traveling this time. We stayed at a lodge that had a basketball court, tons of balls, and a big treehouse with slides and places to climb. Every morning McKay would wake up early and cry, "I want a ball!" Most mornings grandpa willingly :) had McKay duty and would take him to play with the balls while the rest of us slept.

{View from the lodge...so pretty. Makes Cedar City look pretty pathetic if you ask me. :) }

{McKay's baby-sitter for 4 days....BALLS!!!!!!}

{This was a great activity for the little ones. Water baseball. Each base was a kitty pool with a slip and slide before home base.}

Kolob Canyons

This was our adventure about a month ago. We love finding places close to us to explore! McKay loves the outdoors. Aren't all little kids happier when they are outside?? McKay sure is!

Lately

{this kind of looks like a glamor shot}

Before I can post any recent pictures, I have to find my camera charger. Hate it when I misplace really important things like that. In the past little while, we have been packed full with a BUSY schedule. We had memorial day weekend, which was spent throwing a baby shower for my fun sister-in-law, Heather, having a piano recital for my cute students, enjoying boating on the Enterprise Reservoir, and visiting JoAnn's grave. Then we had McKay's little cousin, Hadley, visit for a few days and we finally figured out our sprinkler issues after a few weeks of trying. (Lame valves that were not all the way open). Now we REALLY know what water pressure means. :) So I realize that this is probably extremely boring, but alas, sometimes life is boring without pictures to describe it. Pictures coming soon!
