red neck mikey

just a funny little story but first you have to know a little bit about mike, he was born with a cleff lip and palate so as a teenager he had his frount tooth totally rebuilt. so while we were driving to utah to go to my brothers wedding- and meet people we have never meat before- mike is eating spitz and all of the sudden half of his frount tooth fell off he looked like the biggest red neck. so i had to take a pic but i don't think the pic dose it justice!!!!!!!

nothing beats the lake

lets see how many kids we can fit into a small tub !!!!!


The babies really do love the lake there is nothing better than a naked diapered baby got to love the pics of these three cousins. I hope they all stay as close as my cousins and i have stayed thanks in part to the lake.

This year at the cabin we decovered the best story teller, Danas husband Sherman, the kids absoulutly loved him he got so into the story that it took over an hour to tell but he never lost there interest they loved every minute of it he even used there names in the story. thanks Sherman they can't wait till next years stories

Summer is my favorite time of year i am not sure why i live in this part of the world but i do so i try to make the best of it. this summer we went camping with kurt and jo and there kids it was so much fun here are some pics form the fun weekend.

OK so i am the worst blogger there ever was. a lot has happened so if the next few blogs bounce around its because i don't know the order of events any more.
one of the things that we did this summer (thanks to Mikes mom and dad) was we got to go to my brother Matthews wedding in Logan Utah with NO KIDS. yes it was very fun we had no "when are we going to be there or i have to pee or I'm hungry" on the trip down. I got to spent 4 whole days with just mike it was so fun. i also got to spent a whole bunch of money on stuff for my house. i have never spent money on decorations and it was so fun we went to a place called tai pan trading. i also spent to much money on clothes. but it was so fun.
But the real reason we went to Utah was to go to Matt's wedding it was so nice Matt married the nicest girl we really like her, it is to bad that they live so far away. here are some pictures from the wedding

this last weekend has been a busy one for us . we celebrated grandpa larsons 90th birthday so crazy when we thought for sure he wasn't going to make through his last surgery that he had. but what a blessing for grandma that he did. he is such a roll model to me i look up to him alot he is strong in the gospel and bears his testimony every fast sunday, he dosen't care about what other people think, he likes everyone for who they are, he always has some good advice to give to us, and he show unconditional love to everyone around him. and one last thing he always knows how to have a good time. one quick stories about grandpa. him and grandma were at a party one night and decided to put some thing in the hor d'oeuvre to liven up the party and it sure worked the party was hoppin and it went on all the way till breakfast and then they were sorry that they had done it cuz they didn't drink any punch and they were very tired. that something that they put in the hor d'oeuvres was ridaline and they never told any one about there little trick till years later. that is just one of the many tricks grandpa had up his sleeve.
