July means fun......no matter what kind you dream up.
These are Grandchildren torturing a poor little grasshopper. They were so unified on the idea and having so much fun, we just had to stop and take their picture.
So JUMP in and let the fun begin!
The Crockett family is about to have a BLAST together
and of course Uncle Davy is making it happen with the boys.
I've watched 1000's of explosive fire works throughout my life as they color the dark July skies, raising thrills of excitment for viewers. But nothing sparks up my life more than when our family gathers to be together and have fun. Monica & Ori Martin's were great to allow us to use their wondeful pool where cousins laughed and parents delighted in playing together.
Afterwards we went back to our house where we feasted on BBQ hamburger & hotdogs, laughing and mingling.....strengthen friendships and telling adverturesome stories.
As I watched the children inter-mingle, my emotions were flooded once again with gratitude.
Each of them are strong & healthy. Each one spiritually centered and highly educated. Each one of them willing to work together and work hard providing for themselves and their families.
Each one of them are CREATORS and know that if they hold hands with Deity.....
Anything is possible!
And each one of them good friends with their siblings.
What mother could ask for more?
Grandma jumps on her little tractor lawn mower, and hooks up 
Nathan Harward jumped in the group and found out how much fun having alot of cousins can be.
Ben wasn't sure he could come to Grandma's house this summer because Nathan was coming to stay from Texas. But Ben soon found out that at Grandma's house, there is always room for one more.
Isabelle Delight with her 4th of July bow, is amazed at all the excitment going on.
Chelsie is the oldest, at 15 years and loves swimming in Monica Martin's pool.
Chelsie doesn't like all the chaos of family, so she usually is listening to music through her ear phones or inside listening to a music filled video.
This is her younger sister Allie with her "attitude" pose. She's the queen 
Coope is all smiles and loves life in every direction. 
Little 10 month old Dayton is my special little boy friend. He's been staying at our house for the past month with his motherwhile Mary Ann and Ryan make their transition & move over to Colorado. Ryan came over for a week to take his first CPA exam and to spend time
Max makes my life a SONG because every night he has to sing
his bedtime song he made up.
"Grandma's house is so much fun, she has so many toys.
She has some treats, she has atramp, she has a slide,
Grandma's house s so much fun!"
Needless to say, Max melts my heart with his big brown eyes, but the song is
my fulness of joy!
My little red wagon my girls gave too me for Mother's day makes traveling

And of course, it never ceases to amaze me, but when Karen & Alan come into town,
it's time to "Gather" and that's just fine with me.
Little Sydnee Sage is the youngest member of our family, and her mother

Sydnee Sage is as adorable and highly decorated as any.
This mouth is "RED, WHITE, & BLUE!"
And Crockett's are glad to live in America.

Grandma jumps on her little tractor lawn mower, and hooks up her little red wagon & Grandchildren gather to take their turn for a ride.
And "I'm in Heaven!"
Let the celebrations begin! And nothing in this world does it more for me than surrounding myself with family and grandchildren. This July, Tim bought Old Navy shirts for he and I and all the grandchildren. We gathered on the 4th of July for a big pancake breakfast and let the children play in the backyard while we visited.
Could you find a more beautiful group of children anywhere?
NOPE! These little folk are celestial in nature and goodness.

(Only Candice doesn't have the attitude pose!)
Coope is all smiles and loves life in every direction. He looks so much like his daddy at his age, it's like watching life as a re-run.
Cooper will always seems so excited to see me, and knows exactly where
Cooper will always seems so excited to see me, and knows exactly where
the treat jars are. But his special little "goodbye" kiss melt my heart.
(He didn't get that from his Dad. Getting a hug or a kiss from his Dad is like asking
someone to move Mt. Timpanoges with a spoon!)
Little 10 month old Dayton is my special little boy friend. He's been staying at our house for the past month with his motherwhile Mary Ann and Ryan make their transition & move over to Colorado. Ryan came over for a week to take his first CPA exam and to spend timewith his family. Mary Ann will fly over there during the weekend of the 24th and then
Dad will come back the 6 of August to take another exam & attend an Ahlstrom family reunion and then the entire family will migrate to their new home in Highland's Ranch, Colorado.
(Mary Ann has to finish up work at American Lending )
Boo Hoo Boo Hoo for Grandma

My little red wagon my girls gave too me for Mother's day makes traveling with Grandma a sweet experience. We found out you have to be kind of careful pulling
big kids behind the trackor and down hills!
The tires stick side ways & we almost broke it.
It's really just made for little tikes.
I had created a treasure hunt for the kids......which is always one of their favorite activities. But Aunt Karen took the obstacle course and made "Crockett Competition" come alive. Each of the kids ran it two or three times each trying to beat their times. Even Karen & Alan took it on.

By the time everyone was seeminly finished, the babies wanted their turn to climb the pole, hit the ball, and race around the trees.
In my mind, I questioned myself if this Obstacle course would be a good idea. But it ended up being one of the best. (Especially because Grandma & Grandpa couldn't reschedule their massages and the kids NEEDED to stay outside so the house would remain quiet.
(Thank you Karen & Julie & Candice for makie it fun for all!)
