Rylee Jo Eckles

This is my sweet little niece that was born while we were in Utah. She is so dang cute, I was so excited that we were there and were able to see her for a few days...





This is her Daddy my big brother BJ. He couldn't be any prouder of what he made. She really is a miracle. Welcome to the family Rylee!

Tyler & Danelle

OK so another one of the best things that we did in Utah was getting Kevin's brother Tyler married off!!! It has been a while in the making...


This is Tyler, Danelle and Cole. (Dustin, Laura, & Allie flew in the next day)


This is all of Danelle's brothers and sisters. We had a little getting to know you party the night before the wedding.

This is Tyler's side of the family that could make it.




This was taken out side the Manti temple after the wedding. Dustin and Allie finally there. It was such a good day for both sides of the family...




We are so excited for Tyler, Danelle got a great catch!!!

Alpine Slide

OK for those of you that have been to Park City Utah you know about the Alpine slide, and YES it is still as fun as ever. You ride to the top of a mountain on the sky lift and come down on a sled with wheels!


There we are on our way up. Paige is to small to go alone so she was with me. The ride up is so beautiful. The fresh mountain air, and the amazing sites!






This was when Kevin beat Braydin to the bottom. Can I say yes he is still a kid at hart!

Braydin all ready for Football!!

While in Utah we got Braydin his helmet and pads for football. His helmet is a LARGE that my dads high school boys wear. Am I saying he has a big head, sure I am!!!! He is getting so big, he is so excited about playing football this year. Wish him and me the mother good luck!

Oquirrh Mountain Temple

While we were in Utah we had the to take the kids to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. What a fun thing to b e able to go with the kids into each room of the temple and talk with them about what happens in the temple. The kids were in complete amazement and how beautiful the temple really is.


This was one of my favorite days in Utah!!!

Swimming in Utah

Ok so every time we go to my moms house she has a new toy for us to use. Last year it was a swimming pool and as she thought about it she decided that Paige would dround so this year it was a water slide....


This is my dad taking it all in, I think that he was wanting to cry that he had 5 weeks of crazyness at his house!!


As you can see this was no small toy!!






This is my big brother Robbie, yes he is going down it and yes he is 40!!!




I saved this picture for last Kevin never made it to the bottom of the slide, he always flew off by the corner! Yes I even played on it but you will never find a picture of that!!!

Swimming before Utah!

The Charltons are always wonderful about letting the kids come and play, so this was what they were doing right before we left for the summer!


Once again thanks Veda for loving my kids and letting them come and play!

Braydin's Baseball Game

This was a fun year of baseball for our family. Braydin played for Texas A&M. He is getting to be a pretty good player.



He got hit by the ball early in the year and it made him a little scared, we are hoping that he gets his confidence back. We keep telling him we know he can do it, now he needs to realize he can to!

Regan's Baseball Game

Regan was so much fun to watch. He would tell us that he hit a smoking ball. I haven't figured out what that means yet, but he loved playing this year.


He was Oklahoma, not a pretty color but doesn't he look so dang cute!




Like I said this was so much fun to have both boys playing, yes we did have 6 and 7 games a week at times but I wouldn't have changed anything!

Farmers Market

OK, OK, OK I know it has been way to long, but for the next couple of weeks I have lots to share with you all!!!


This is the water park in Little Rock on the river. One Saturday we decided to go in to the farmers market and let the kids play. It really is a neat place..


There was really alot to do, they had slides and climbing rocks on the other side of the water area.


We will be going there again before it gets to cold!
