Time with Our Kids

Now that Dennis and I are officially empty nesters, all of the moments that we are able to spend with each of our children is extra special. At this moment, I am sitting in Mindy and Jeran's living room thus completing the summer visits with each of our married kids.

Lisa, Cameron and Benjamin came to visit in August. (See previous post) Andrew and Lindsay were able to come visit the first weekend of September. That worked perfectly because they were able to be home for the Briscoe Family reunion and their friend, Garrett's wedding. We were able to have a baby shower for them and they had a great time seeing many of their friends that they hadn't seen for a couple of months.

Lindsay and Andrew enjoy the nice summer weather and  being with family.

Andrew and Alyna use scientific measurements to see who really has the biggest mouth.

Andrew helps Ralph figure out how to do some things on his Ipad.

Family and friends enjoy the evening together.

At Mindy's, we went out for some good chinese food the evening we arrived. Mindy and I were able to attend their stakes Women Conference with was excellent. While we were at that, Jeran and Dennis helped a friend of Jeran's move. That evening we went to see Contagian. It was pretty good. Sunday, we worked on quilt blocks for our family reunion quilts and went to church. It was the Primary program so that was very entertaining. Mindy and Jeran teach the 11 yr. old Valiant boys so they had an easier to manage group. Mindy and I worked on projects (crocheting and quilting), went shopping and we all went out to eat at a couple of yummy restaurants.  

Mindy has become creative with her crocheting.
