Father's Day 2006

We had a fun Father's Day BBQ at Whitney and Pauls house! It was a lot of fun!!

Here is Paul cooking the hamburgers and hot dogs... with his Dad assisting. And everyone dishing up the good food!

Here is everyone enjoying their excellently cooked hamburgers and hot dogs! It was so much fun to hang out with everyone on Father's Day!!

Helen's Birthday BBQ!

Here is Helen opening her present at the wonderful BBQ that Catherine put together! It was a lot of fun, and we all got to eat some wonderful Brower chicken!!

Helen educated all of us on swords and weapons. Here she is showing us
something very important. Too bad Justin isn't paying attention in the background!

Here is Helen posing with her latest weapon! Don't let the innocent look fool you!

Here is Stuart showing us all how to "safely" use a sword!

Stuart's "Haircut"

Well, Stuart had a competition with a guy at another Wells Fargo branch. Neither of them won, so they both had to shave their heads. Lucky for me, Stuart is attractive with or without hair....Although I will say that I was nervous for a while there!

BBQ at Catherine and Donnie's!!

Here we are at Catherine and Donnie's house having a fun BBQ with everyone (well, everyone local). It was so nice to see everyone and catch up!

Shaving Morty!

We decided to shave Morty this summer... to cut down on the hair. So this is a before, durring and after shot. He was so well behaved and patient! He loves it and is much cooler now too! We have such a good little puppy!

Baby Sesaly!

Whitney and new baby Sesaly Sue Bytheway. She was born late Thursday (5/18/06) night. She is adorable! Also, here is sleepy Paul... it's tough being a new dad!

Blake and Lauryn's Wedding!

Here is Blake and Lauryn... they had a beautiful wedding on May 13, 2006. We are so happy for them!

Celeste and Whitney, while waiting for the bride and groom to appear!

Stuart always takes the time to smell the flowers!

Are they trying to tell us something?

This is what the boys did to entertain themselves while the pictures were being taken of the bride and groom...no... they weren't REALLy rolling down the hill - thank goodness!

Stuart was exhausted from all the picture taking! Poor guy!

Here we are in front of the Temple. The flowers were so beautiful that we had to take some pictures too!

Here's Casey and Celeste... Casey was looking a little bit lonely on the bench... so I joined him!

Here we are at Blake and Lauryn's reception... it was a lot of fun, they had country dancing and some pretty good refreshments!

 

Shotgun Shooting

On April 22, we went shooting with Whitney and Paul. It was a beautiful day and the boys perfected their markmanship skills.

Ahhh... here are the boy's posing for the picture. They are true gunsmen- out in their element!

Here's Whit and Celeste hanging out in the truck...such good sports!

CANCUN!!!

Here we are in beautiful Cancun, Mexico!! The water was excellent, the hotel was perfect and we wouldn't have changed a thing!!! We both agree that this was the best vacation we've taken yet!

This was our hotel room, it was so beautiful and had marble everywhere. Which made it very easy to keep clean!

This is the lovely yellow water that came from our tap and shower. And this has already been purified. Needless to say, we didn't drink any tap water, and we showered again as soon as we got home!

On Saturday we did some shopping at the flea-market. Things weren't quite as cheap as we thought they would be, but we still got some good deals, thanks to Stuart's spanish and bartering skills!

Here we are at Walmart in Cancun, buying boogie boards. Notice the price of them! The exchange rate was about $10 to $1, so we were fairly rich there! These only cost us $13.30, thank goodness!!!

Here is Stuart, Matt and Melissa in the ocean, the water was so nice and we had some decent waves to bodyboard on.

Stuart was like a giant in Mexico! That is our hotel in the background.

Here is Celeste and Melissa getting nice and tan (or should I say burnt!) by the ocean!! The beach was beautiful!!!

Here we are at one of the restauraunts in the hotel. Cancun was a blast!!!

Stuart's Sexy Hair

And here is the finished product.... how did I get so lucky to have such a handsome honey?? His hair turned out much better than the checkerboard effect we had the first time we frosted it!

Here is Stuart looking sexy while getting his hair frosted. It's a very manly shot, isn't it?!?

Whit's Baby Shower!!!

Whitney's baby shower (April 1, 2006) We all had a blast! This is one of the games... where everyone found out drinking out of a baby bottle isn't all that easy! :) This is Emily and Whitney giving it a shot - and keeping a close eye on the competition!

Erin Crook and Lauryn drinking away at their bottles! Such skill!!!

Yum! Everyone had so much fun drinking from the baby bottles! Left to right: Heidi, Grandma Stephens, Sarah Holen, Ruthann Bytheway, Annaka, and Mom Cutler and Lilly in the background.

This is the "Dirty Diaper" game where everyone had to guess what the "mess" (candybar) was inside of the diaper. (Left to right: Heidi, Grandma Stephens, Sarah Holen, Ruthann Bytheway)

Whit's Shower again...
