This last week we have had the opportunity of having JanaRae, Steve and the kids here in Utah! It was a fun week being able to see them and spend time with them. They are moving to Colorado from Ohio, so they will definitely be closer and hopefully we can see them more often! Today they were driving back to Colorado, then driving back to Ohio next week. --can't say I'm jealous of that drive ;) Yesterday was the Sunday we all got together for dinner. We went to the Mapleton park, had a foot race, a three legged race, played baseball and even saw Polygamists!..oh and had the yummiest chicken and my mom's potato salad and much, much more!! You can see in the picture, everyone getting all ready for the foot race---As Teressa is getting everyone excited, flailing her arms around. ;) hee hee I just sat back, watched and laughed....
There was no serious face on any spectator when the three legged race came around---except for the adults trying to beat the children. Aly and Teressa's strategy? "Center...Center....Center", trying to keep their feet sync with one another...it worked, they won as they jumped over the finish line---Aly thinks she pulled a muscle...I would say so, by the way they were hopping into first! This pic isn't the best, but it's the best my little camera phone could do! Did I mention everyone used DUCT TAPE to tie their legs together?? 
Aly gave Talan to JP while she went to participate in the three legged race, he sat on JP's lap in a daze, nice and comfy. My phone doesn't do it justice, but it was too cute to not capture!

It was a fun night at the park, considering the sprinklers turning on while we were eating (I don't know why they bother watering now, their grass as you can tell from the pictures is already looking like hay! Maybe by watering at 6 pm they think it will revive it???) It sure was a fun filled Sunday evening, I'm glad we got to spend time with JanaRae, Steve and the kids!

OOOhhh, it looks like so much fun! I'm sad I couldn't be there to pull a muscle in the race...oh, well, I already have enough pulled muscles!
Is there a drought in Utah or what? the grass at that park looks horrible! someone needs to water!
Love, Kris
They like us to water sparingly, but I think Mapleton City just decided to start watering that night thinking it would help out ;)
The picnic in the park was a lot of fun. Kenyon said he overheard Gabby ask Steve, "Dad, can you please organize some activities?" Good thing she did because the races were great to watch.
I am also so happy to hear you are doing well. I'm here whenever you need a workout partner, lunch partner or shopping partner!
