sisters just do each other's hair when they get together. That's Amy doing Sarah's with Rachael sitting by. The Tim Guffey grandkids as still as they could be for a photo shoot. From the left: Sean, Carter, Alex, Elijah, Annabelle, Kaylee, McKayla, and Kacie.

reunion in Gatlinburg

hiking up to Grotto Falls--not such a good idea to go on a 45 minute hike with a heavy wiggly boy on your back! He hated the trip up...
Finally free of the backpack!
Carter had a blast playing in the icy water and was soon soaked.
Not much of a waterfall, but it was August.

Cool, llamas waiting for us at the trail end!

some of summer

Carter found his nose...and was pretty excited that his fingers fit right in those holes!

Aww, how appropriate! While at the Columbus temple on their 64th anniversary, we happened upon this car that said just married! Sweet family
Daddy's boy
