Ohlunds

We were able to go down and see the Ohlunds (friends of ours that used to live in AZ). We had a yummy lunch and the kids played until we had to take Jared to the airport. Thanks for letting us stop in Ohlunds! We had a wonderful time.  - July 2010

4th of July Celebrations!

The whole Gnehm familiy went up to the Hyper Building to watch the fireworks this year. The kids had a great time running around all over the place.  I love this holiday!  I love hanging out with the family and remembering our beautiful country that we have to live in. 

Jessica was the star of the night because all the little kids loved having her play "ring around the rosies". 

Megan & Jocelyn

All the "friends" together again!

Car Trip

We had a long trip to Grandma Gnehm's house.  We left St. George and the boys stayed awake the entire day (6 hours) until we were about 30 minutes away from Grandma Gnehm's house.  Silly boys. 

Jayden enjoying his nap, drool and all! 

Trisha Visit

The kids and I were so excited when we heard that Trisha (Jared's sister) and her kids wanted to travel up to Logan to hang out with us for a day.  The kids had a fun time playing at McDonalds and then later cooling off by playing in the wading pool.  Both Darian and Alisha were then given a little "tour" of the farm and were able to sit on a tractor.  It was so nice seeing the cousins getting along so well!  Thanks for the visit Trisha, Darian, and Alisha!  We had a good time and made lasting memories.

JoAnn & Trisha.  Do we look tired of our long day's festivities? 

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Grandma and Grandpa Kelm have the neatest garden.  the boys thought that it was so "cool" to see all the different veggies that they grew.  Grandma had a captive audience as she gave them a tour and showed them everything that was growing!

"Hmmm...I wonder what is in the alligator's mouth?"

Jocelyn & Jacob

Jacob was in his element at the Ogden Dinosaur Park. He loves dinosaurs. When we first got to the museum he kept running around from exhibit to exhibit wanting his picture taken with each one.

Alyson getting ready to go for a swim.

Jacob, Jocelyn, Olivia, and Gert going for a ride on the Rhino. They are all excited to go down and feed the cows.

Jayden having fun with his first sparkler.

Females are multi-taskers from an early age. Tara can eat an ice cream cone and do fireworks at the same time.

Jacob isn't quite sure what to think about the whole fire in his hands thing.

Mmmmm....Jessica, it looks good!

Uncle Garth helping Jayden get the sparklers started.

Watch out Betsy! 2 kids don't know what they are doing with fire!

Ty just looking cute. Look at those eyes!

This is how many evening were spent. Everyone would bring their kids over after work and they would swim and run through the sprinklers.
