A Morales Minute

Perfect occasion to get pictures of my kids with their great-grandparents. The last picture I have of them together is at our wedding! Crazy. Poor picture taking on my part. However, Grandpa Morales doesn't make it easy, he doesn't come around to family get togethers too often anymore. He tends to stay at home, age can do that to a person. :) 4-gen picture Ruben, Janie, Aurelia, Martin Daniel, Apolinar, Oscar, Lenor Only missing Dora. :)There's a spot for her between Ruben and Janie My kids with Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma Morales and their Grandpa Morales

On July 24th we got together with Andersons and Potters. We didn't get to do a family vacation this year. The original plan started in February for all of us to go camping. It didn't work out to vacation with these amazing families because Ben and Corinne were packing and getting ready to move. So sad. We will miss them but hope to be able to go visit them in their knew home! I snapped a few pictures of these cute friends.  1. Tyler, Caleb, and Carson setting up car races. 2. Lucy, Lindsey, and Cami hanging out in Cami's room with the birds. Jaime, Jeremy, and Ben making fishing poles. It doesn't matter what any of these kids do, they have fun just being together. We all do.  I got Corinne to jump on the trampoline with me!   Yup, we're all a bunch of kids who like to play when we all get together :) We'll miss you Ben and Corinne and Family!

From July 16-20 we were gone for the Hyrum Dean Naylor Family Reunion at Malad Summit Campground. We stopped in Pocatello to surprise my Grandma Naylor at her new home. As we walked in to the building there were some people sitting in the commons room. I saw Grandma sitting in a chair and started walking over to her. She was so surprised. The look of complete shock and joy on her face made our drive well worth it.  She showed us her room and all she had set up in it. It was so good to see her.  Aidan took a little rest in the tent shortly after we got it all set up. He was very excited to be camping. On Thursday evening we took Dad with us to go see my Grandparents old house that is now for sale. The giant pine trees in the front had just been cut down. I have never seen their entire house up front before. It was always blocked by these giant trees. It really is a cute old house. I remember many a summers here.  Side entrances to kitchen, basement...

On July 12th we attended a family reunion of my Grandpa Earl Noble's siblings, and their kids, and their kids. :) Most were people I'd never met. It was good to see some of my Grandpa's family. I didn't realize he had so many siblings. It was a good family history event.  Aidan sat next to and talked with this guy like he knew him. They mostly spoke about video games. :) Horrible, but I can't remember his name. He's married to a daughter or granddaughter of Alnora (?) I think... 1. Tyler holding my cousin's new baby, Colter 2. Lori and my cousin Jessica 3. Aidan, me, Uncle Frank 4. Grandpa Earl and Grandma Hazel Noble Making root beer!  The kids pretended they were making spells with a potion. Wayne, Alnora, Earl Zina and Earl I can't remember most of the people I met at this reunion but it was neat for my Grandparents and mom. Everyone had a good time catching up and meeting family. Just before this reun...
