Driving pictures to Wyoming

We have waited a very long time to drive out to Wyoming so once we crossed over the border we were excited and just loved how beautiful it is. We loved leaving behind all the hot humid air and feel the cool refreshing breath on our faces!

Kerestes Reunion

We had the pleasure this summer to attend a Kerestes Family Reunion in Pa. We all met at a park and had a wonderful day. We ate tons of Yummy food, opened gifts, played games, sang Happy Birthday, and all sat around chatting with one another. It was a great way to get the whole family together and meet everyone. Our family had a wonderful time seeing everyone.

Kerestes Reunion

While we were at the reunion Kallee was able to pet and walk around this HUGE dog. I already forgot what type it is but I know she would remember but is at school. Kallee loves dogs and this made her day and she will never forget the day she walked around a dog bigger than her.


The kids with EMMA! At the reunion they had a birthday cake and all sang Happy Birthday to Emma! Emma is Grandpa Kerestes Dad's sister! She is super fun and very funny! We are so glad the kids had a chance to meet AUNT EMMA!

Kallee and Aunt Emma!

We also had the pleasure of seeing Great Grandma Kerestes from Chicago who is Grandpa Kerestes Mother! We are so glad she came to be with us on this special day. We enjoyed seeing her and spending the time with her.

BABY Kamden

We still call Kamden our BABY! He is so adorable and always has a smile on his face. We just can't believe our two year old is growing so big.

Kamden loves his brothers and always tries to keep up with them. He loves his big sister Kallee because she always loves him and spoils him. We are so thankful to have Kamden in our family!

Thanks

We just want to say we are so thankful for families. We had a wonderful time with both grandparents out this way to share Kyle's special day with him. We love them so much and will look forward to when we can see them all again. Thank goodness for families. We love you all!

Gold panning

Grandma and Grandpa couldn't go back to Wyoming without some gems so we took them to a castle that has rock and gem panning. Grandpa bought us a huge bucket of dirt to pan! WOW! It was even our first time and we all just loved it.

Kallee showing all her rocks she found panning. She even found a necklace.

A picture of some of our rocks and gems we found! How fun...to add to our rock collection!

Kallee and Grandma sorting through all the rocks and gems. Kyle had so much he started a fund for more panning. If anyone has some loose change add it to his collection so he can go back. These were is exact words!!!!!!!!!! We had a wonderful time!




Feeding the ducks with Grandma and Grandpa at the pond in our neighborhood!

I think Grandma had the most fun feeding the ducks. She even had to have her own whole loaf to feed these little critters. She was so crazy to fed them right out of her own hand. She even got a few nips. Oh wait they were only Geese Kisses. We all just a laughed and laughed. She had a blast and was everyone else's entertainment. We love you GRANDMA! We will always think of you when we feed the ducks!

WOW! Look at those two hotties riding their cool hot ride. I bet they have a ride of their lifetime!

What a COOL Grandma our kids have! She even rides a dinosaur!

Playtime June 2010

While Grandma and Grandpa Cottrell where here they just loved being outside in the HOT HUMID AIR....just kidding but it was worth it to watch the boys ride their bikes especially after KALLEE decorated them all up!

Kody decorated thanks to big sister Kallee. You can't tell at all she has 3 brothers can you????

We even took them to the mall to do some shopping!

Grandpa even did a treasure hunt with Kallee which she just loved. He hid secret papers all around the house she had to figure out what they said to find the next clue. Each time she found one there was a letter. After she found all the clues she spelled out a word saying she won her favorite icecream treat. Kallee liked it so much and will never forget this fun time with her Grandpa!









Football fun with both Grandpa's

You can't have both Grandparents at our house and not play a game of Football with our boys. We had so much fun and tons of laughs. I tell you what you had better watch out for our kids Grandpa's they really can KICK SOME TAIL!!!!!!!!!!

Kyle's Baptism June 12, 2010

Today was a beautiful and very special day for our family. Kyle choose to be Baptized and even had both Grandparents come witness this special day along with friends. We all went to the church for a wonderful program. Mom made CTR Programs to pass out and the program went well. Kyle you and your family sang a song to a slide show called Into the Water. Then Grandpa Cottrell gave you a golden key as your key into heaven by being Baptized. Then your dad baptized you. Then dried off with the towel Grandma Cottrell gave you. Afterwards, Grandpa Kerestes gave a talk on the Holy Ghost which then you were given the Holy Ghost performed from you Dad. Both Grandpa's joined in the circle. Afterwards, we ate lots of yummy treats and took tons of family pictures as you can see. Then we went home to change our clothes then headed to Kyle's favorite restaurant Golden Corral. The crazy part was the whole morning was beautiful and once we sat down to eat at the Golden Corral it started to pour rain on us. But Kyle we love you so much and our so grateful to share this special day with you.
