Last Minute Photos

These photos are from the week I was in Vegas when Sarah had baby Claire. It was a great week with tons of sweet moments but not one time did I get out my camera. I waited until the last minute and then Sarah said, "Mom let's get some pictures."
I am ready to leave and we get out the camera. That just doesn't make much sense. Nevertheless here are some cute pictures. Lauren looks adorable in the above picture and Lexie always has a sweet smile even when it's one of her small ones.
Evelyn was a treat to take care of. She snuggled right up to me from the minute I got there. She's tiny but determined.
I told Sofie the other day she is very photogenic. She wondered what that meant. You can see...No matter what; she always takes a great picture. Love you Sofie.
You can just see "Imp" all over that face.
The package deal. One grandma with FIVE very adorable sisters. Thank you girls for being such great grand daughters. Loved being there.

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

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.
