We had an awesome day yesterday.  We met Shellie's 3 kids, her parents and one of her sisters. Her kids are so cute and my girls loved her Emmie.  Cody was so excited to just have some boys to play with.  Her Mom and Dad are such neat, down to earth people.  We enjoyed talking to them and getting to know them.  We went up the canyon by their house and the kids played in the water.  The water was cold, so they didn't last long.




 Jaycee decided to see how long she could sit in the water.  I think she lasted a minute or two.  Then she was freezing the rest of the time.
 Shellie's brother in law had some fishing string and hooks.  So the boys found some sticks and made fishing poles and tried fishing, but they didn't catch anything.
 I told Cody and Kash to look at me, but they both looked away.  Kash was so shy, he wouldn't look at no one.  He did like Cody.

 I am so mad I didn't get better pictures of Shellie's Mom and Dad, together, maybe next time. So here is Shellie's Mom.  She is so easy to talk to and so nice and Hailey loved, that she talked to her about crocheting, something they have in common.
 Here is Shellie's Dad.  Jake was showing the kids his ear trick.  They thought that was cool.

 Friends for ever!!!!!!
 You can't see it in this picture, but Jake just got done dunking the top of Cody's head in the water.  I think he got a brain freeze.
 This is on the ride back home.  Shellie gave each of the kids a toothbrush.  They loved it and carried them everywhere.

 They gave us a beautiful basket.  It has diapers, 3 onesies, body wash, shampoo, wet wipes, car seat straps, some cleaning clothes, honey and a vinyl saying.  Shellie made this basket. WOW!!! It is so cute.  Thank you Shellie for the awesome day and thank you to Ron and Janet.  We love you guys!!
