Meeting baby Dustin

Tyler & Margaret are moving from Des Moines, Iowa to Utah, (then Tyler will go on Rotations). They arrived today! They came to Nephi where I am visiting with my folks between reunions.

We got to meet baby Dustin Virgil Jolley for the first time,

he is 10 days old!

He's got lots of beautiful dark hair!

With Grandma and Grandpa Anderson

Dustin smiled at me!

(or maybe he's just glad to be out of that truck!)

Troy was wonderful to fly to Iowa and help Tyler move his family here.

Samantha and the kids were excited to have him back!

Shannon was happy to go shopping with her cart and her pumpkin purse (which she handed back to Catherine soon as the picture was taken)

Pizza Party

Tonight Jason took us out to this fun yummy Pizza place

There were some game machines there with exciting looking prizes inside

Maddox decided the best way to get those prizes

 was to simply climb in and get them!

that boy makes me laugh!

Library time

We took Ryder to the Library for his first out-of the-house experience

Ryder is in the snuggly sling thing Jamie is wearing

 the kids got their Summer Reading prizes

Jamie survived her first public appearance with four children just great!

fun together

The kids have had so much fun playing together

doing crafts

playing dress-up

Jayden chose to not be in the fashion show, he would rather play on the itouch

Maddox and his trucks 

Jayden in the hut they built 

Maddox wanting to get into that hut

(this pic makes me laugh because Maddox is usually so mild-mannered)

Kylie is such a good big sister to help take care of little Ryder
