May 2010

The highlight of May was visiting Marianne's family in Moscow, Idaho for the Memorial Day holiday. It was a mini family reunion. Those in attendance included Dad, Mom, Marianne and family, Joanna, Valerie, Liz and me and my kids. We had so much fun!

Hobbes absolutely LOVED all the cousins, aunts and toys he had to play with. Here is a fort we made out of foam alphabet letters.


Eliza and Hobbes check out the inside:

Oh no...there's a hole in my roof, dear Eliza, dear Eliza.

Now it looks like Whack-a-mole!

Here's Hobbes looking a little confused outside. But he's still a cutie!

Dad and Wesley built a fire so we could roast hot dogs and marshmallows one evening. Hobbes picked up some long sticks to help roast.

Here's Valerie showing Ammon, April and Eliza how to properly roast a hot dog.

April really enjoyed her marshmallow. She was sticky all over the place. Such a sweet little girl.

Liz poses for a photo with Mom and Desmond as she finishes up her supper.

Valerie got to meet Desmond for the first time during this visit.

Here's Joanna and Desmond. Every time I look at Desmond I see a little bit of Joanna in him. Maybe it's his eyes, but you can tell they are related.

All the sisters present misbehaving. We really wished Kim and Jonathan could have been there with us too.

Hobbes loved playing with Ammon. Ammon was so kind and pulled Hobbes in the wagon, let Hobbes follow him all around, jumped on the trampoline with him and just played with him.

The neighbors had a horse that we enjoyed watching.

All in all we had a great time and can't wait to visit again!
