"I'm just like Amie"

Mikensie has been putting her bike helmet into her shirt everyday since she saw her cousin Amie over the Easter weekend. So finally today she got her picture taken with her baby in her tummy. I have been called Grandma by Mikensie and Teagan for about a week now and they have been having a blast being pregnant and nursing their babies. I'm not to sure I want to be called Grandma at this time I haven't even turned 39 yet!

Sunday Salamanders

This morning I went out to block a path that Jack has been able to sneak out of to go out of the yard and found these cuteies. I brought them in for the kids to see them, Kelty could not understand why she could not hold them though. I felt it better though as she is not to "Gentle" when it come to things. We are working on this though. We then went to church where amazingly Kirk, Teagan, Mikensie, Ash Lee and I all bore our testemonies (this is very rare for me). We left right after Sacrament though to go visit my brother in Hayward and to help him transport a new mattress to his house. For those of you who don't know my brother had renal cancer 10 years ago and just had a cat scan showed a 2 cm cyst on the same kidney and a gal bladder stone. He will see a specialist soon but we feel that he will be fine.We wanted to be with him and help support him in anyway we could. He bought a very nice mattress for the first time in his life and I'm sure he will enjoy it very much.

Happy Birthday Ash Lee

I wanted to wish Ash Lee a happy 16th. I should have done this on the 27 which was her birthday.

Happy Birthday!!

Monday trip to Plymouth

The cousins always have such a great time together. They had fun going to the horse, jumping on the trampiline, riding bikes, looking at the cow, playing in the water and just hanging out with each other. The adults had fun talking and watching the kids play. All in all every one just loves being together at the Cantrell's home.

There were some very pretty little wild flowers around the property.

We needed to stay in the shade while awaiting rides it was so hot up there.

Marshall, Ash Lee, Mikensie,Teagan,Kelty and I were able to enjoy little rides on the horse by Mark and Lisa's house. We had great time

Kirk and Teagan took a little walk by the pond where the horse was. I heard Kirk tell Tea to stay still and then he bent doun so I took these pictures thinking he was getting a frog. Little did I know as Kelty and I walked towards him it was a baby rattlesnake instead. I was so scared and angry that he picked it up and brought it up to where everyone was. I kept telling him to kill it. finally after Mark also told him to kill it he did. I was made for quite some time afterwards

Family Celebrations 2

After the Oakland trip we went to Ada and Mike's house for a family BBQ it was so nice to see every one that attended. The Harris family have some very photogenic girls so I had a great time taking some of them. I also had fun with Amie and her tiny belly. She just looks so beautiful pregnant. It was great seeing Alice as well

Family Celebrations

We had a wonderful time Saturday up at the Oakland Temple for Ada's big day. Ash Lee watched the 4 little kids and took lots of pictures. Marshall then took many pictures of Ash Lee.

He did a really great job. Ash Lee experimented with many different shots here are some of them. All of the pictures in Oakland are from Ash and Marshall.

The beach

Make a Wish!

I found this fence very intersting so I snaped a shot of it

Today we went to New Brighten beach, it was such a sunny and warm day. We had fun playing in the sand for a bit then we went up to the picnic area where we played at the water faucets and the grass. We saw a male bird and a female bird that was guarding her nest. The male had a berry in his mouth.

This is him
