Banks!

We had a crazy, fun, busy, wild few days last week!  It started on Monday when Mike's dog, "Banks" came to our house for a week.  Mike & Erin got married on Saturday and needed somewhere for Banks to stay.

The kids all loved having him at our house, and wanted to play with him, and feed and walk him.  Banks is a good dog, and hardly barked at all.  Isaac and Elizabeth got a few "doggy kisses" from him and they seemed to like it!  Taylor liked him the best and spent a lot of time in the backyard playing fetch.

Then on Thursday night Danny's family from Canada, California and Boise came to our house for a big family dinner!  Everyone was coming to Utah for the wedding, and we decided to have a little family get together.  It was so fun to see his Grandma Lamb, and his great aunt Alice, as well as aunts, uncles, cousins etc... 

We had dinner and visited at our house all evening and everyone seemed to have a good time. 

We haven't seem Grandma Lamb for 5 years, and the kids all had fun meeting her and spending time with her.  Isaac talked to her all afternoon, while they ate popsicles on the back porch.  After a while he looked at her and asked "What grandma are you?"  It was so cute, he definately fell in love with her.

It was so much fun to have everyone to our house for dinner, and great to catch up with family that we haven't seen for along time!

Here's a picture of Taylor at our neighbor's house.  They are remodeling their house and all the boys in the neighborhood have been in their construction site "working" for the past few days.  One day last week, they all had their shirts off, with bandana's around their heads and they were shoveling dirt for hours!  We just bring drinks and food to them every few hours and they keep working.Taylor loves it and has spent most of today in the hole removing rocks. It's a boy's dream!
