A Little Bit of SuNShInE

Woohoo....summer is here and we are enjoying it.  We went to Cedar City....Ryan and Cait came too, and we rented a boat for two days and played at Sand Hollow.  Despite the bugs and swimmers itch we had a wonderful time.  I love spending time together as a family!

The sand was beautiful....

Josh and Erin loved digging holes and building sand castles.

All aboard for some tubing and wake boarding.....

There isn't anything cuter than this sweet Hannah in her swimming suit and hat.

Okay this little one, Kalli is pretty cute too.

And this one is so so cute too....Kira.

Watch out behind you Jord....

GOTCHA......

The designated flag holder.....cutest ever.

Melanie and Jordan riding the tube.....

Jordan was the king of the tube again this year....

Kira liked the tube until it accidentally hit a big wave....then she was done.

Josh and Jordan had a fatality....they flew off the tube and Josh hit Jordan's head with his nose.

They spent a lot of time on the beach digging.

Kalli and Kira.....swimming cousins.

Such cute girls....Kalli, Cait and Hannah

The boat ride put both of these babies to sleep...

Jordan, Griff and Whit made it swimming to the cliffs.

One, Two, Three....

GO.....Jordan, Griff and Ryan jumping and diving off the cliffs.

Okay...maybe not a great idea jumping off cliffs when you are almost 8 months pregnant.  Actually it wasn't a big cliff.....

Griff gave Bill, Ryan and Jord a wild ride...

Jordan is still king of the tube....

Cait surfing....

The black eye from the tubing accident...

Kira doesn't look too happy....but she had a great time.

Oregon Beach

Austin just loves his companion Elder Nielsen.  The more pictures I see of them I agree that they are two peas in a pod.  The Welch family took them to the coast on their P-Day.  See what I mean...such goofy, cute boys.  Love to see that smile!

There are our missionary boys....happy to be doing the Lord's work.

OH! How excited we are to meet our "Tiny Dancer"!

Whit came home for her friends wedding reception so we had a baby shower for her.  She got some really nice things.  Now...we just need that tiny dancer to get here so we can snuggle her.  We are so excited.....

Schools Out for Summer...

The best day in the school year is when it gets out for summer!  I love having the kids home.  Jordan was counting down the days.....in fact I think he started around Christmas time.  We finally graduated from Junior High.  All three children left at home will be at Highland next year.  It is hard to believe.  We won't think about that yet though.....we have all summer to enjoy!  YAEH! 

I'm glad Jordan was smiling in this picture.....

Jordan and one of the aids dancing....

Memorial weekend was right after school got out.  We went to grandma Seppi's and had dinner and then went to the cemeteries.  I am so grateful for the heritage we have in our family.  So many good people who left such a wonderful legacy to follow.  

Bill and Kira at my father, Leno Seppi's, grave.  What a wonderful man he was....I still miss him.

Jordan drew this picture for Lee....he's got quite the imagination.

Long Live Colombia....

Melanie Parada is staying with us for a while.  Her family were really close to Griff when he was serving in Santa Marta on his mission.  We had a real treat.....Melanie, Griff, and Whit made us some authentic Colombian food.  It was a lot of work but so worth it because it was sooooo good!  As they say in Colombia....magnifico!

These are my favorite...plantains.

Dave, Roxanne, Joe, Melanie and their children came to dinner.  Kira had so much fun with the girls....
