Goodbye Uncle Ammon

We went up to Phoenix starting Sunday June 28th to hear my brother Ammon speak at church before leaving for his mission in Canada, Toronto East, Korean speaking. He was a favorite amongst the grandkids, especially Kenny's kids as they got to bond with him while he was going to BYU.
We all brought our dogs, I think at one point there were 6 in the back yard. This is Jake, he will do ANYTHING for a ball.

Enoch and Travis chilling on the steps.

Ephraim was really good at jumping over the spray of water and was a great swimmer!

I had a lot of helpers in the pool. or I wouldn't have been out there. We liked to float in trains sometimes. Me and my boys and Eph.

Relaxing inbetween pool parties I am sure. All of Amy's kids, and Wesly.

Brittany and our cousin Sierra Brooke.

I love this picture. This is all of my siblings. We did family pictures in sessions. We were never all together with Mom AND Dad at home as he works in Utah and is out of state a lot. One sibling was always gone when Dad was home, but we got all the girls with Mom for pictures, all the boys with Dad for pictures, all the kids togehter, and all the grandkids together. Just not ALL of us at the same time. It gets harder as time goes on, but here is a good one to last the 2 years Ammon is serving his mission! Love these kids! :) (back: Kenny, Jared, Ammon, Me, Front: Micaela, Amy, Brittany, Levi, Elizabeth)
LOVE LOVE this pic of Travis and Brelee, he absolutely ADORES her. He asks to hold her everyday and is ALWAYS touching her hands or her belly button or just singing her songs about how CUTE she is!
The grandbabies. All 13 of my parents grandkids. We will be using bribes next time FOR SURE.

Great Grandma Pike was there for a day while we were there and WE LOVE to see her. She live in California and we don't get to see her as much as we would like. THANKS GRANDMA FOR COMING!!!
