Picture Casserole

I had a slug of pictures on my camera that were onsies and twosies and didn't want to take the time to make a post for each picture, so here you get them all mixed together in one giant random picture casserole!

 First up is a picture of the prop that Tanner used in a recent primary talk.  I was proud of our ingenuity.  We took a picture of Tanner and cut it out, then made him hold on to the iron rod (a piece of string).  We pulled him along the straight and narrow path as we talked about the things that he can do to Follow God's Plan.  The best part is that he did his whole talk by himself without me whispering it to him.  I am so proud of this boy.  He is growing up so fast.

Next up is our annual trip to Green Canyon with the Powells/Fillmores.  Every year Zac's mom rents out the entire swimming pool at Green Canyon for just her immediate family.  We have such a fun time eating and then swimming with our cousins that we look forward to it every year!

 Sorry for the fog, my camera kept steaming up.  This is my dare devil, Tanner, who decided that even though the diving board was removed, that wasn't going to stop him from doing running front flips off the side of the pool.  I am AMAZED that this child hasn't broken anything yet.

 Charli loved swimming and it was hard to get her out of the pool.  Look how curly her hair gets when it is wet!

 She FINALLY has enough hair for a little ponytail!

 Yeah, she thinks she is pretty hot stuff!

 This is a picture of the kids with the "After Green Canyon" stomach flu.  They all had a much needed rest during conference, which meant that mom actually got to listen to some of the talks!
