Yes we are still alive

It's almost embarrassing how long it's been since we posted last. Let's just say that soccer season happened, a visit from family, then vacation, then more visits from friends and family, July 4th trip to NY, an out of town memorial service, and we're waiting to go to a funeral some time this week. Yup, nuts-o. Also, I got a new camera for my birthday and somehow taking the time to install the new software is a hugely daunting task. Oh yeah, and Jeremy just got called to be the Bishop of our ward three weeks ago.

So, lemme back up to our family visit in May. Everyone (Nate/Mandy, Matt/Regen, Jon, and all the kids) were actually all together for the first time since Elyse and Allison were born. We tried to get a picture of all the cousins together at Brandon Park (from L to R, Elyse, Brynn, Kenley, Edith, and Allison) and had fun visiting an alpaca farm




where Edie conned Nate into buying a stuffed animal 'paca. There was also lots of trampoline time and static electricity science experiments.





This is a picture with almost everyone: Nate with Edie, Mandy with Allison, Grandma Ruth with Brynn, Jon, Regen with Kenley, Grandpa, and Tracy with Elyse. Missing from photo are Matt (picture taker) and Jeremy (working).
