Pre-Fair Week

There's no "real" order to these pictures....it's just a conglomeration of a lot of fun and laughter. The kids have started rolling into Logandale for Fair Week, which is the week they ALWAYS come home. Michaela was the first to arrive. She came on Thursday right after she finished up her semester at BYU-I, and was ready to get out of there and leave her grades behind. After a strenuous semester, she is more than happy to be home where she can just relax (except for the work dad has her doing at the fairgrounds, which is all day - every day:) Tibi and her have had some good times just hanging around though...
Easter Sunday, after church, we attemped to take some family pictures of at least some of us. Here's whose left at home - Boring dad, boring mom, and Tibi and Landon.




Tibi and one of her favorites - Levi


Connie and Peter's cute family. They will be adding another little girl to their family this August!


One of the reasons, and it's a HUGE one, why our family is all gathering home for Fair Week is that we are performing this year. Yep, you heard me - our whole family is attempting to play at the fair. I make no guarantees...but we ARE on the schedule. So I guess that we'd better at least get together to run through what Kira has decided we will play. Lexie has been working the hardest to learn and memorize her bass parts. Kudos to her...


This good looking guy just happened to find his way to our house too. He isn't even family, but he might as well be. He just got done serving his mission here in the LV mission, came back to visit with his parents, put them on a plane back to Indiana, and will leave from here to head up to BYU-I for his upcoming schooling. We have snatched him for a few days here and there to give him a home-cooked meal and a couple rounds of card games. Here's Marce, Eden, and Adam Gibson playing games on his phone.


Levi is obsessed with superheroes. Not that I blame him....they are pretty cool. His favorite this week has been Superman. He got a new suit for Easter, which he says makes him look like the "guy that turns into Superman." I immediately pulled up Christopher Reeves as Superman on You Tube to show Levi how it looked in the movies, gave him an old pair of "no glass" glasses to keep, and let's just say that he has been Clark Kent ever since they got here :) I think he looks pretty authentic...


I'm thinking that after all the late nights, Easter candy, still teaching Seminary, and laughing, we are all going to need another "vacation" after this vacation! Connie and Peter were smart to plan a little getaway to Vegas without the kids. They will be back on Wednesday night, just about the time that I head off to the funny farm...


And this little guy just keeps on smiling, getting into EVERYTHING, and being the cutest little thing around!
