Webb family fun weekend of family fun-Rexburg edition

Nate, Dustin, Hudson, Cortnie and Jeff.
The guys (and Cortnie) went to the dunes on the first morning of fun, which are very close to Shelli and Dustin's place.
Then on the first afternoon of fun the boys went 4 wheeling in the mountains.
Eating wild huckleberries all along the way :)
Hudson, Tayler, Jay and Preslie.
I took some practice pictures of those willing to pose while everyone was getting ready for family photo shoot. Cuties!
I wish I had taken a picture of every wonderful delicious delight that Dustin whipped up for us while we were partying at their house. This was a baked ham with pineapple infused with whole cloves. Yum!
Shelli and Dustins garden and scarecrow at sunset.
This was sure a hit with the kids on dutch oven night. Around and around the yard all together in the 4 wheeler trailer.

Eli and Hannah driving Kennedy's mustang. Don't sing "Eli's Coming" to Eli, he does NOT like that song. :)
Beach Day!
Pretty cool to have a lake in the back yard! We canoed , we paddle boated, we met the goats on the island, we ate yummy treats until we were sick.
Nate, Preslie and Cortnie

ahhhhh, 82 degrees
Porter Park
Tayler and Kennedy hanging out
Shelli, Jenna, Jill, me, Hudson
The carousel at Porter Park
Preslie loved it, Will not so much.
Sunny and Kennedy. Sunny is now a resident of Rexburg, with a view of the lake and the Tetons from her pasture. Kennedy tells me barrel racing is in her future.
We took in a soccer game while we were in town. Sugar City soccer. Good stuff!
Hudson kicked this football back and forth the entire soccer game.
She shoots, she scores!
We all had such a fun long weekend at the Chambers estate! The highlight for me was all things huckleberry. Shelli and Dustin's neighbors graciously shared their highly secretive special wild growing huckleberry picking spot. Somewhere in the surrounding mountains that they can hopefully locate again next year. They picked enough to share with us and we had huckleberry muffins, huckleberry pancakes, huckleberry shakes and my personal favorite, huckleberry cheesecake!

Webb cousins get together

Ross Park in Pocatello
Bruce and Grandma.
It was fun for Grandma to see so many of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren all together. It doesn't happen very often. Lots of cute little kiddos!
Easy rider.
Jeff " volunteered"to ride the Harley to Pocatello for the Webb cousins get together.
Too cute! Gavin is on the way to being a heavy hitter like his daddy, Jarvis.
Tayler
Preslie, Hudson, Will, Jace.
All the 2 or almost 2year olds. It was more difficult than you might think to get this picture.
This was the closest I could get to a group shot. Few would cooperate for a posed pic with everyone, but it was fun to get all the cousins together for a picnic and the kiddos loved the water park.

Mountain Valley Rodeo and Parade


Heber knows how to do a parade! It was such a good one! Here is one of the clowns that walked along the parade route making balloon creations for kids.

Tayler with a flower.
Preslie wanted a doggie.
Jeff's new jeep, Will loooves it!
Like father, like son.....Wheely Willy! So funny, he gets going as fast as he can and then pulls up the front end. I think he is genetically programmed to do that.

And here's the newest addition to the family, Zeke, the red healer puppy. Just like Zeke the red healer dog we had years ago. Zeke was a legend in our family and I got a little teary to hear that we have a new little Zeke. Can't wait to see if he is the smartest dog ever.

Zeke, Jr.

Cortnie and Tayler ready for the rodeo. The rodeo was great. After the motorcycle jump about mid way through the show and it was back to the horses and bulls, Preslie kept asking for the "gogocycle". One jump wasn't enough for her. Cortnie ran into the rodeo queens and they signed some glossy 8x10s for her. Cute!

Memorial Day

We made the annual rounds to the cemeteries to clean up the graves for Memorial Day, let me rephrase, so Jay and Garret can clean the graves.
Here's Jace, doing his "fast run". He's a sprinter.
Garret and Preslie. "Rock"?
Wheeeeee......
Gram Webb and her new "wheels on wheels".
Preslie, Jenna, me, Garret, Jace and Trulie
Too many good guys gone too soon. We sure miss them.

Black and White Days


We visited both Grandmas while we were in town. Here's a 4 generation of me, Preslie, Jenna and mom, overlooking Mill Hill in Lewiston. Love those pink cowboy boots!
Jami changed into her fabulous purple dress at Grandma Webbs.

Jami found out about 10 minutes before the Black and White parade that she would be riding solo in the convertible, much to her dismay!
Jeff picked up Grandma Webb in Bill's sweet Cadillac and brought her over to the parade. Thanks, Jeff and Jill! Here's the rest of Jami's cheering section, Jeff and Jill's family, Trulie and Jace, Trulie's sister Taitum and her kids, Jenna and Preslie.

We were so excited to see Josh in the Sky View marching band.
Go Josh!
Jami was in the parade this year because she is going to Girls State, sponsored by the American Legion and auxiliary. I have been in the auxiliary for 20ish years and was hoping all 3 of my girls would go to Girls State. Hooray, done! (I should mention Garret went to Boys State, too :)
Will!
It was fun to go to Black and White this year, we hadn't been back for a few years. We lived in Richmond for 18 years and were involved in the parade for a lot of those years. We have fond memories, dear friends and lots of funny stories from those Richmond years.

Happy 17th Jami

Jami woke up to a decorated front door and balloons along the sidewalk, her friends did it at about 2am. They gave me heads up so I didn't call 911 if I heard them, because they knew I wouldn't hesitate to call :)
Birthday morning ebelskivers
We surprised Jami with ifly! It's right here in Ogden and we hadn't tried it yet.
This is her "flight instructor"
She's flying!
Indoor skydiving! 120 something mph wind tunnel.
Suited up and fly ready. They were having a 2 for 1 special for Fathers Day but Jay had no interest so Nate flew too. They both loved it.
Happy 17th bday, Jami. You are awesome. Cute, smart, nice, fun, funny. Love you!

Jay's cute little garden

The first fruits of our harvest: radishes
It's amazing how many plants this tiny little garden will hold!
Thanks to Jeff and Jill for the iron ornamentals adorning the garden and yard, love 'em!
