Megan and David's Wedding

So the main reason we were in Utah, to see these two get married...
David and Megan
Jordan loved holding Brinlee (and Brinlee loved Jordan)

Trying to get everyone in place for a big group picture.

The Jones siblings and parents.

All the grandkids minus Krew (who was not wanting to be in the picture).
We haven't taken a good family picture in awhile, so we gave it a shot...

Temple Square

During our stay in Utah for Megan and David's wedding, we visited Temple Square. Our first stop was the church history center. They had a great kids' area.

Utah Discovery Center

In December we headed out to Utah for my sister Megan's wedding.

Before we left everyone got a haircut. Got to look nice for all of those pictures.
Grandpa Jones and Ava.

Ava getting tickled by Grandpa.

The kids had fun trying to kill time (and trying to keep quiet) playing a problem solving game on the iPad.

The big girls went to Megan's bridal shower while the boys took the kids out to eat. They had planned on going to a discovery museum but the kids had so much fun they decided to just stay and play.

Ava

Fun on the slide...





That same night was Megan's endowments. Amy and Ken took all of the kids and walked from the hotel to the Discovery Museum while the rest were at the temple.
Finding Dad's name on the Utah Olympic Volunteer's list.
While there the kids saw a terrible accident. The pictures say it all...


Fun at the Discovery Center...
Watching the balls fly up.

Kailyn

Ava collecting the balls.

Brinlee and Ava are so cute (even if it was staged).

Chase and Ava playing in the water

I didn't know our kids were famous.

Caden Puts His Bike Together

For Caden's birthday we got him a bike (actually a note saying he had a bike coming since we hadn't found one we liked in his size). Caden helped Ken put it together while Grandma and Grandpa were here for Kailyn's concert. Caden loved putting it together. He loved trying to figure out how it all fit together.
Unwrapping...

Ken over seeing everything...

Putting the handlebars in...

Caden tightening it up...

Making sure they are straight...

Making sure everything is all lined up correctly...

Ken asking Caden how he thinks the pedals go on...

Peddles on

Ava overseeing quality control...


Looks like he did a great job!

After the bike was together we all played games together.
