The Benson Park Ward held an "Anything Goes Pinewood Derby". This means there were no rules. Some guys hollowed out their cars and inserted rocket engines. Their cars went clear across the parking lot. It was lots of fun.
The annual Kroll Party. Melody's family left before the picture was taken. We're sad they don't do the Christmas party anymore. It was fun to see everyone.
Jackie looking up to Aunt Whee-C as all of the nieces and nephew do. I think she is showing Whee-C her pretty toes or she might want a bite of her bread.

Sydney with Grandpa & Grandma at the rodeo.
Whee-C and Colton helping Wes with his siding.
Colton Waldron and Whitney at Raging Waters. We went there with Paul & Natalie, the Murdocks, and Colton Jones just before they moved.
Taytem & Uncle Paul share a Happy Birthday Celebration!
Taytem miraculously grew long hair thanks to Uncle Ry-Guy, Aunt Ang & Linden.

24th of July parade. The Murdocks joined in the fun as well as Sierra & Coltons. We had a barbeque afterwards at our house. Kaye, Sharon, Rex & Betty, Kurt & Lana and some of their kids who were visiting came as well. (Roxy & boys, Rosie & Dema, Brad, Camille & girls, Shawn, Kandice, Gabi & Noah, and Lindsey) Missy pushed people out of her way and dove for candy that was dropped from a paraglider and received the only casualty.
The real "highlight" of the summer was Whitney getting highlights before Natalie moved to a land far, far away.
Natalie & Sydney stayed with us every other week in the summer while Paul was being trained in Philadelphia. We absolutely loved this and got pretty attached to little Sydney.
Sydney playing with Grandma's kitchen. Please notice the bow in her hair. That must have been some fast photography.
Jackie at her first rodeo. The famous Preston Night Rodeo to be specific. Check out the teeth.

This is not a newborn picture, but . . . Linden's arrival into the world was on June 25th. Cousin Sydney loved giving him loves. All of my newborn pictures were in a different place.
Greta went to girls camp right after Linden was born at Aspen Ridge. This was one of the last things she did with the Beehives before being released so she could help Van with his ward.
The 4th of July in Rexburg. Van, Greta, Whitney, Wes, Jenn, Taytem & Tanner went to watch Nate keep a straight face in the parade as he pounded on his drum. The Cooleys, the Ben Jones family and Mike & Angie Birch and their kids were there as well. The cousins just love each other and have fun together whenever they get together.
Geo-Caching on the way to Bear Lake. (I think we found something) Sierra came and stayed with us for about three weeks. I think she might get in to this.
Whit and Sierra sharing a tube at Bear Lake. We went with Ang, Ryan and Linden who was three weeks old. We met Wes & Jenn and their family there, then went to Pickleville and watched the Melodrama afterwards. Scary ride home in the Breeze with bad lights and sleeping co-pilots.

Happy Birthday to Erin! (The darling)
Ry-Guy is a little "down-in-the-mouth" and not as wise as he used to be. (Wisdom Teeth)
The twins race up GrandmaGreta's stairs. Coming down is another story.
Cousins sitting on the "bench". Can you say bench for us Taytem?
Tanner's one-year old birthday party. I think he like his green farm cakes.
