A celebration of 60 years!


 We felt very blessed to be able to take our entire family to Utah for Grandpa Evans' 60th birthday.  It was a short trip, but we squeezed in as much fun as we could for this 4 day weekend.  

The first day we were in Utah, Zeke worked on finishing the walls of his parent's family room.  Zeke enjoyed helping out, but even more he enjoyed working along side of 3 of his brothers.  
When they finished that evening, the room looked beautiful! 

While Zeke worked on the house, I took the kids to Pleasant View to see the Findlays.  
We spent the day with them.  The kids played hard and loved being together. 
And I got to personally wish Melissa a Happy Birthday since it was her Birthday.

Saturday Grandpa's party began.  
 We spent the day at "Classic Skating" in Salt Lake City.  It was a perfect birthday party place for lots of grand-kids.

Our kids loved hanging out with their cousins, they don't get to seem to very often, but when they do they have a blast!

Grandma and Grandpa have 2 dogs living with them right now.
Lydia and Jacob love animals, so they are always so thrilled to play with the dogs!
