Randy's Gym

I have had a free punch card since before Carlos's birthday and wanted to take my sisters to Randy's Gym. It never seemed to work when Debi was in town and we are sorry but I finally had time to go with Jody and the kids had a blast and so did the adults.
 
Tyler and his excited face. He is not scared of anything. Run, jump, and get buried.
Tyler jumping without even looking and loving it.
Joss and her flying braids.
Again Joss with her flying braids and her cute face. She was leery at first but warmed up to the fun of Randy's Gym.
The Big boys having fun too.
Tyler jumping with all his might.
Can you guess who this is?.........Carlos.
Carlos was the best helper and was always making sure Joss and Tyler were okay. He had fun too and was a sweaty mess after.
JUMP!!
JUMPING!!!
The creative yet sneaky boys.
Carlos running very fast and doing flips. His flips were quite amazing. Grandma thinks he could be in gymnastics.
Carson being a helper too.  Michaela was not with us she was at her friends wedding as a brides maid #2. We missed her but know she was having just as much fun.
 

More Tries at Grandkids Pics

 Joss getting thrown into the air. look close at her happy face.
 Tyce getting thrown into the air. He too has a funny face.
 Probably the best we were going to get with all of my parents grand kids.
 Here are some other tries but some kids were just not wanting their picture taken.
And of course you have a BIG kid who has to help with the efforts. We did finally chose one we all loved and will decided to make a college of our favorites.

Michaela Senior Pics

My baby girl is going to be a senior this year and we have started to get ready for the BIG year we are headed for. Senior pictures are a big deal and we have started. These are a few of our favorites but with over 400 pictures taken already it's hard to choose. Thank you Aunt Jody for being a great photographer. We love you and can't wait to see you again soon.
 Fun little house and it made an even better picture.
 This is my favorite. Just being beautiful and thinking.
 One of Michaela's favorites. She loves the light.
 The two of them saw this bench and pulled over and took pictures.
 The BLUE if Michaela's ultimate favorite but everyone in Pocatello uses this site so we may go with some others where no one else has been (at least not recently).
 Her long beautiful hair.
 A great hidden shop but yet a bit creepy even in the daytime.
A full body with her favorite BLUE background. And the best part.......It was all done for free with our own camera!!!

Dietrich and Grandkid pics

This is Loni right before she saw me. She came running and gave me a great big hug. What a girl!
Loni and Lily getting their calves ready to show at the Lincoln county fair.
Loni walking her calf up to the ring.
All the people here to support Loni. A few more but I forgot to take a picture of the lower group. Sorry.
Loni guiding her calf around the ring. She was great. I know I could not have done anywhere near as good as she did. The calf minded Loni pretty well.
Loni talking to her calf. Her calf talked so much. I wish we knew cow talk.
Loni holding her calf tight and guiding her well.
Being so happy to win a nice ribbon. She came in 2nd, 1st, and grand champion for I can't remember. Isn't that awful of me.
Loni with her Grand Champion win!!
Loni with all her ribbons and trophy.
A better Look at her certificate.

Getting pictures for grandma. My three flexible children having some fun! 
 My moms grand kids minus Tyce. He didn't want a picture.
 The four granddaughters.
The almost four grandsons. Tyce missing. He was at the event but didn't cooperate. 
5 of my mom and dads eight grandchildren. 
Carson being his sexy self. What do you think? Yeah he is only 14 and I think he was being funny.
Tyler jumping into the pool. He isn't scared of anything. He even dunks his head and everything.
Carlos soaking in the sun.
Tyce finally getting brave to jump. This took Michaela some long coaxing but he finally did it and then we couldn't stop him.
Joss jumping in too. She and Tyler have had great swim teachers and they are learning some great swim survival skills for those California kids.
Tyce swimming with grandmas help. He did quite well and I must saw we have made a memory at Shoshone pool. Running, Running, Running is quite tiring with a kids on your back but great fun and entertainment for the kids. We only live once, right!
