Yellowstone

 Lance loves hiking, fishing, hunting and outdoors.  I think Yellowstone is one of his favorite places.

 Love all these girls!!!

 These kids had a blast....Yellowstone, Island Park, Boating, Swimming, 4 Wheeling, Campfire and Family Games.  Such a fun group.

Kerry and I are so lucky to have these great kids.  They are so easy and fun to be around.  They treat each other so well.

 Janelle and Jeanne

 Jason and Josh...always a hoot!!

 Jessica always the caregiver.

 Not even a little rain could spoil the fun.

Great girls!!!

Kaman Campout

 This year we had to go to a new camp spot.  Last year during the wildfires our old site was near the burn, so there are flood warnings.  We went to Strawberry and rented a pontoon boat.  It was a blast and a great change.  (Lance, Dakota, Jes, Jen, Izzy, Paul and Ty)

We love our Kaman family.  We have so many good friends that we have known for years.  

 Kerry has worked for Kaman 18 1/2 years now.  He is such a good husband.  He always does his best to make every trip fun for us.  I love him so much.  I am thankful for him everyday.  I enjoy his company and miss him when I am away from him.

 Jessica is the kindest girl I know.  When we were all cleaning up at the end of the boat trip she was giving a 6th Grade girl we were with Lance's coat.  I was like she doesn't want that.  What are you doing?  She looked at me all serious and said she has to take it.  I finally clued in that the girl had peed her pants.  The girl put the coat around her and no one was the wiser.  I am always impressed by how kind Jessica is.  She not only noticed someone needed help, but took initiative to help.  She is so thoughtful.  She includes others and really thinks about how they feel.

 Lucas got hurt very badly.  He was running and playing and gashed up his knee.  It is going to be a big scar, but he was a trooper.  

 It was a good camping trip.  Lucas was very helpful in cleaning up, setting up and getting the trailer packed. He is always so helpful and easy to work with.  

Lance also impressed me this trip.  We were hiking down to the lake and he helped me through the brush and carried everything.  When we got to the boat he got out my fishing gear and got it set up for me.  He is becoming such a gentleman.

Catching Lizards

Glider ride in Heber

 They tow you up and let you go.  The glider doesn't have an engine....hence the name glider.  It was pretty fun.

Chandler's Graduation

 Chandler is the oldest of the grandkids on my side of the family.  We are missing Ashley and Jackson in this pic.  These kids are so close.  My kids love getting together with them.  Chandler graduated from Lehi High.  It was a fun day.

Lance really looks up to Chandler.  They get along very well and love to hang out.

Last Day of School

 Mrs. Christentsen

 Ryan

 Sixth Grade Graduation Day

 We are going to miss having the best teacher ever....Mrs. Manzione.

Mariah

I know have a kid at every school next year.  It is going to be an interesting year.  Mrs. Young is retiring and Lucas only has one more year in Stansbury Park Elementary.  He has Mrs. Riddle next year.  We are very excited about that.

First Day of School

 Lucas is going into 5th Grade with Mrs. Manzione, Kyson and Mariah in his class.

 Lance is starting his first year of High School with Auto Shop, Wood Working, Football and all Honors Core Classes.  We hope he can keep up this year.  He has a lot on his plate.

 Lance and Derrick Ho really haven't socialized in years, but he came over to walk with him and Mason.  Maybe this year they will golf more.

 I guess DC was the theme today.

 Jessica has one of the new teachers Mrs. Christensen.  This year the 6th Grade has 3 new teachers.  Her best friend Ryan Ringwood and her other friend Jeff Shaw are both in her class.

Mikayla and Mariah

Strawberry Resevoir

 Jessica is actually getting taller.  She is 5' now. 

 Lucas took most of the pictures so I guess it makes sense this is a self portrait.  He is still growing in a bunch of teeth.  He lost 9 all within a couple of months.  

Fishing is hard work.  There is Lucas with his Nook.  It is the best present we have ever bought him.  He reads approximately five 300 - 500 page books a week. 

Easter

 Cute little brace faces.

 I think we only have one more year of coloring eggs.  This year they still wanted to do them.  Some things in life are so much easier to do, but I am going to miss them.  They are growing up so fast.
