Ryan Loves The Pool

Ryan can't get enough of the slide. We put him part way up and down he comes. He's also gone down with a helper like Adam.

Here he is with one of his many trips down with Adam. The minute he gets down he starts pointing that he wants to go again.

Seth and David were tossing him all over and I think they were making Krysta a bit nervous.

I thought I would get out one more set of photos before Paul gets home. It's only a few weeks away and I know it will go fast. As you can see by this photo Paul is spending some time on his creative outlet.
Cute and adorable of course.
We don't know who the people are or anything since he just sends home his camera card. We'll get some explanations once he's home.
Looking thoughtful and pensive....
Looking crazy and fun.
I don't know if Paul had a part in this sweet little girl losing her tooth or not but she is very sweet looking and excited to be the owner of an enamel tooth.




It's always good to know that PJ has kept the faith.
I'm thinking Paul will be looking forward to a little ping pong challenges. Beware Joel.

Who Knows. We will get to see some of these strange looks for ourselves in just a few weeks.

Random Photos

Here are the wild guys traveling across the USA. Watch out for fellas in vans.
They had a great time even though they didn't stop much. Both Doug and Adam said they enjoyed having grandpa along and getting a chance to visit with him without too many interruptions.
Natalie at the Fish farm. Thanks Krysta for bringing the kids. It was nice to have them.
Seth playing with Ryan. We loved having Seth around for a couple of weeks even though he was hardly there.
Ryan and his first introduction to Blitz. Adam said he was pretty scared with a dog back in North Carolina but he was great with Blitz. Blitz is good to back off when you tell him to.
That's Natalie in there.
Loving the swing. Actually he loves pretty much everything.

Blitz with his summer do. He loves it.

Uncle Val Passed Away

Uncle Val died last Thursday and the funeral was today, June 2. It was a beautiful day outside, actually one of the first very nice days we've had this spring. Val died while working outside which is just as he would have liked. Here are the brothers Reed, Gene and Terry.
Ashley and Reese with their cute baby. I think his name is Bergen. I may have misspelled that. I just remember it sounds like Burgundy. He is a cutie with only curly hair.
Susie had her shoes off and here she is standing by Adam. She is a sweetie.
Doug with his cousin Sharon. Sharon is the youngest of Val and Margaret. She has a very cute family of four boys.
Joanne and David. Saren is in Argentina so we have everyone else here. Sam is heading off to Mexico right away.
Grandma, Adam, Krysta, Carol and Cheryl Goodfellow. Cheryl is a daughter-in-law to Ruth Goodfellow who is a sister to the Hancock brothers. Ruth passed away years ago.
Uncle Terry and Rhonda with some of their family. Tristen, daughter of Tracy, Ronda, Terry, Trent and Tyler. We should have rounded up Tera lee, she was wandering around the cemetery.
Joan with Tristen. Joan has been a sweet grandmother for the past 16 years.
Blair's two boys, Brock and Levi.
Susie and Blair.
Nikki, Brent and Hanna. Nikki is due with a new baby in a few weeks. She is always beautiful
Jacee and Masie. These two cousins are the best of friends.
Just some of the beautiful flowers. It was a lovely service. All the children spoke and they did a great job. One of Joan's sons spoke too. He did a great job.

Sofie Gets Baptized


Sofia Joyce Jones was baptized on May 8, 2010. This is a sweet picture of her with her confirmation dress on. She is such a sweet girl with a very generous nature. Sofie is a wonderful big sister.
Sofie was baptized by her father, Steve and confirmed by him also. Lots of people attended a lunch at our home. She had Jones family, Hancock family and friends who had moved from Vegas to Utah. Steve's friend, Josh also attended. He has a great story of the "Sponge Bob" car that he ticked off on his way to the baptism. You'll have to read his blog.
Grandma and Grandpa Hancock.
A lovely picture of Grandma Jones and Sofie
Great Grandma and Grandpa Hancock.

Swimming in April

It was a bit chilly but the girls were determined to get into the pool. The weather was probably 50 degrees and the water we had warmed up to 80. Lauren got brave and went on the slide.
Brave Lexie. She was the first one in the swimming pool.


You can see the snow on the mountains. It just doesn't matter to kids. These Vegas girls are tough.
Lauren Loving it.
The mermaid girl, Sofie.
Cute Lexie. She was all over the place.
Sarah and I are "fair weather" swimmers. We like to see the sunshine and temps in the 80s would be nice. It was a fun weekend. I still have pictures to post of the baptism. Stay tuned.

Our Newest Graduate

Here is sweet Caitlan at Weber State University Graduation. She will be student teaching this next fall. She is shown with her mother Carol and her sister Jenna. Congrats Caitlan.
Caitlan graduated in the same program as Jamie Gallegos (sorry Jamie I cannot remember the married name) and our grownup Shannon Nielsen. Way to go ladies. Shannon is on the cusp of getting married herself. The date is set for the middle of July.
Joel said he has a "sugar mama." Don't be going crazy spending all that money Caitlan will be making as a teacher. Needless to say....we are very proud.
