Summer Fun

Ross and Susan drove to Portland to spend time with Steve, Heather and boys.

We played ball and went to the zoo where we ate elephant ears and rode the train.


We went to Kami Clement's wedding.

We went to Cannon Beach -- but it was too rainy and cold to play in the sand. But not to cold to eat ice cream!





Then we came home to tend Caleb,

Mitchell,



and Mason!

Partying to Portland

Last week 'Bonka' alias Grandma Suans got to drive back to Portland with Alex, Ben and Heather. The boys were great little travelers and Heather and Susan enjoyed the chance to visit.


A scoop of ice cream along the way made the time fly just a bit faster.













Once we made it to town Alex and Grandma Suans had a fun time with Alex on his bike at the park.









Next week Grandpa and Grandma will drive to Portland to spend some more time with these cute boys. Grandpa needs

to be sure to remember to take his mitt. Playing catch is a must!

Wonderful, Crazy Days of Summer

Since last posting much has happened to the 'old folks at home'. Susan spent a week at girls camp. There will be no pictures posted to celebrate this event. They may scare the children -- young and old. She was also sustained as stake Relief Society president -- once again no pictures!

We were blessed with the visit of Nate, Debbie and family. During the week that they were here we had lots and lots of FUN. The events have already been posted on the Texas Clement blogspot as well as the Sorensen family blogspot. I will share a few pictures.









You can tell a Texas van by the horns.














Trying to get a picture of all the kids together!






Steve, Heather and boys came the day after Nate and family left. Steve was only able to be here a couple of days. But we were able to spend some time with them. We had a late fourth birthday celebration for Benjamin.


Swimming in the tub.













Happy birthday Ben.
