Cousin Dan's Baptism

On October 11 we headed up to Logan for Mike's nephew, Daniel's baptism. It was snowing and freezing cold, so all our group photos had to be taken inside Shan's house. The boys don't get to see their Rhodes cousins very often, so they were so glad to have the opportunity to play ALL day with James, Jessica, Maren, Daniel and all of THEIR cousins on their dad's side. Highlights of the day were watching the kids reaction to seeing Daniel get dunked in the water, cookies, chex mix (thanks Jessica and Maren!), and wrestlemania with the cousins. Congrats Dan! We love you!

The Ohio Saga. Part II: Hanging at Grandma's

We always love going to Ohio and staying at Grandma Haws' house (that's mom to me). The kids just love being able to play with Uncle Chris, Aunt Jess, Sophia, Uncle Nate, Uncle Matt, Uncle Keith (Keiff), and Uncle Greg. And of course, Grandma and Grandpa. We spent the good part of a week at my mom's. It was nice to relax and spend time with family and friends. It was great to see Courtney, Matt's girlfriend, too. The boys are always so hyper and out of control, they scared poor little Sophie a couple of times. One of my brothers, I can't remember which, asked me if the boys are this crazy all the time. Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Here are some of my favorite images of the kids with their cousin, uncles, and grandparents.

Bybee Family Reunion: 8.3.08

On Sunday, August 3 the Bybee's started out by invading my Grandma's ward for Sacrament Meeting. We filled a couple of rows and I'm sure if the rest of the crowd were younger and had better hearing we would have caused quite a disturbance. With several small children shouting, whining, crying, or yelling, it was quite the meeting. My cousin Brett blessed his baby Seth, and I'm glad that so much of the family could be there for his special day. After church, we went back up the hill to Grandmas for... you guessed it, more eating! What more can you ask for than family and good food? We hung out all afternoon in my Grandma's backyard, eating and visiting. And in my case, taking photos. Here are more favorites from our weekend. I hope that at the next reunion more of the family will be able to make it. We missed all of you who weren't there!
