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.
Michaela and Loni. Michaela was so excited for Loni.
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!

UMPIRING 24 Games in ONE WEEKEND!

Carlos trying to keep cool. It was a very HOT weekend. At least all of us besides Juan enjoyed the beach.
Juan grabbing a snack before he started his next game. He did 24 games in three days. He literally worked from 8am to 10pm almost everyday.
The boys enjoying the water. It was great and I even jumped in too. It was warm enough to get wet from head to toe and then dry off in a few minutes. HOT!!!
Juan behind the plate. He probably did over 20,000 squats and who knows how many steps.
Juan taking a breather....Not really but He sure enjoys this. Except for the few coaches and parents who don't realize umpires are human too.
We went to a little play about Butch Cassidy robbing the Montpelier bank. It was simple and small town play. The boys went to and reminded me it was hotter and they could perform it better.
The sexy girls at the saloon.
Butch and his gang robbing the bank. The lady in the middle is my Dad's cousin Anita Johnson.
Carson and Carlos enjoying the beach and relaxing.
Bear Lake North Beach. quite busy but no rocks, weeds, or brown stuff (as Carlos called it).
These people were playing a fun beach game with sticks and the boys thought it would be fun to play so I took a picture and am looking it up on the Internet to try to figure out what game it is. We had a fun trip but missed Michaela. She stayed and worked and was with her grandma and aunty Jody.

Loni's 4-H Contests and Swimming

Loni's poster for her Presentation at 4H fair.
Loni giving her presentation talk.
Loni won best overall beating some older kids out. She was quite confident. It was great to watch her shine!
Loni with her trophy.
Tyler getting out of the pool all by himself. Lots of work but he took swimming lesson and her can get out himself. They teach survival techniques in California so kids won't drowned or panic.
Tyce being his funny self.
Jody and Joss swimming. Joss drank a little too much water.
Debi and Loni hanging and getting a tan.....SUNBURN.
Ada getting into the pool.
Carlos loving the swim time. Both Michaela and Carson were at other events for the day. We had a good time but missed them.
Carlos swimming and being a great helper.
All this for Loni. She was so excited. She was nervous because she won best overall last year but didn't think she would win again this year. She liked another presentation too but Loni is so confident its amazing.

Bridesmaid Already

Michaela and her cousin Kaitlin. two peas in a pod. Love these two. Thank you Kaitlin for being a great cousin. We love you!
Kassy coming down the isle. Isn't she beautiful!
All my great kids. They all dressed up and look great. They didn't even complain. Carson is even making sure he looks nice. Can you see who is taller? I think Michaela may be done growing but only the guy upstairs knows that.
Michaela with Denise who is Jordan's mom and Michaela's second mommy.
Kassy and Jordan getting ready to become husband and wife.
