The best place in the world...

Maybe we are being a little biased, but we really do love Eureka! Where else do you have mountains, a backyard full of things to discover, peace and quiet, everyone knowing each other. The world just seems like a better place, and of course lots of family.

Ani loves her Uncle Benny. Whenever he came over she would go straight to him and fuss until she had his attention.

We were able to go to the Salt Lake Temple to do sealings and spend time in the C-room while we were in Utah. We had never been in the Salt Lake Temple aside from weddings before. So beautiful... now I know why it took so long to be built. It was just Amazing.

Papa and Aiden had true bonding time while we were at his house. Aiden sat on his lap for close to an hour and just looked at an ad for Harbor Freight that Papa had gotten in the mail. Papa went through and told him the things he needed, or already had, then Aiden proceeded to go through the ad, probably 3 more times, to make sure he remembered everything. He was very excited when Papa said that he could go with him shopping to get the things that he needed. They went shopping Friday morning, and Erik and Aiden even got tools for themselves.

I finally remembered to bring all of Ryan's extra Martial art sparring gear that he has to Eureka. Andrew has only been asking about it for the last year:) The boys certainly had a wonderful time beating each other up. Melinda even refereed. She sat on a chair near by and would say "round one...ding" and if someone fell down she would count "one, two, three." It was really quite adorable. There wasn't enough sparring gear to outfit all four of them completely, so you will notice they improvised.

Andrew and Gordon.

Aiden and Erik resting.

Aiden and Erik helped Grandma bring in coal for the fire. They got plenty dirty, but thought that is was a lot of fun to help! You would have to ask grandma if they were really much help:)

A bath was needed after they were finished with the coal.

I was very happy that we were able to make it up to see Grandma and Grandpa Summers while we were in Utah. Here we have Aiden and Erik giving Grandma kisses and hugs because I told them that was how they get Ice Cream from her.

Kylise and Analeigh are only 6 weeks apart yet Kylise seems so much bigger! They enjoyed hanging out together.
