Ok so it has been a while....

When we got to Utah, we made it to the final evening of the open house for the Oquirrh Mountain temple. It was beautiful, but we were all exhausted after traveling all day. Aug. 1, 2009. This is the kids by the fountain outside.

Taking time to pose.

The boys were so very tired.

Banda family before going inside the temple.

We visited Ryan and Leah's family in their new home in Prineville, Oregon. Ryan and Steve went golfing (so no pictures of them), but the rest of us enjoyed major cousin time in the house. Don't Break the Ice was the favorite game of the kids. Banda girls with Leaunna and Lydia.

Ryland and Reagan loved train time with Allison.

Oops, we broke the ice!

Ray & Carrie Lindsey came to visit in July. We all enjoyed some serious pool time.

Shawna, Jasmine, and Allison looking great.

The boys had some serious camel fights.

The boys and Jenna looking fabulous!

After the walk, everyone emptied their pockets to show their treasures.

Josef and Josh enjoyed some sprinkler time in the hot sun.

Sue and Shawna walking along the sand spit in Gig Harbor.

Blackburn and Banda kids enjoying Age of Mythology.

Steve took Shawna, Alli and Josh to visit Sue & Ken's family in Gig Harbor. I was busy in Sacramento and Matt was out scout camp.

It seems like summer just flew by. We were so busy, that it just evaporated. Here's a lot of pictures to help catch you up.
