Please VOTE!!!!

In the spirit of the Olympic Games, we had an Olympic Day here at the Carnesecca Home with our cousins.  Each of the cousins were to create an Olympic jump into the foam pit.  We are asking that you please vote on your favorite.  You may like something beautiful, you may like something funny, you may like something talented..........but just vote, please vote.  The stakes are high because the winner of the competition will receive $20!  So, please don't vote for your favorite person :), but vote for which jump really moved you.  Please post your vote in the comment section.  You do not need to put your name with your vote, but if you have a family or friend that need to vote, please put in a vote for each person.  We want as many LEGIT votes as we can get.  One vote per person please.  :)  I tried to go from oldest to youngest, but when I published the videos, they posted in a random order.  Here are our Olympians to vote for:
Anthony-1
Brady-2
Walker-3
Brynn-4
Holland-5
Cate-6

Jackson Hole Vacation

We met the Jackman's one night at a Chuckwagon dinner in Jackson. 

Cute, cute family (and 4 more to go).

Pierce and Ethan met for the first time.  Brett called them "Master P" and "E.Z.E."  I guess that's how you spell it?

My niece, Krystle and I hold our little ones.  Pierce and Cate share the same birthday on March 15th.

Holding hands

Friends and cousins forever.

The boys.

We took a ferry to the Hidden Falls at Jenny Lake.  The kids were troopers and Ethan miraculously fell asleep on the hike up.  Cate hiked the entire way and got a blister.  Sorry C.C.

This is the David Brookover Studios staircase that Brynn tumbled down when she was two years old.  David Brookover felt so bad that he sent us one of his prints.  We were tempted to push her down one more time to get another pic.  Just kidding Brynnie Winnie.

I think this is a "must have" picture at Jackson.  You know you have a lot of kids when people have to count them as you walk by.  :)

We stopped by Kim's cabin (house) in Star Valley on the way home.

We rode the Alpine Slide.........good times, good times.

A great idea for teachers.

Click on this link below and watch the video.  I thought it was hilarious.

Piano Lessons

For our anniversary, I gave Chad piano lessons.  Megan Rose is his teacher and she also teaches our kiddies.  She is darling and we sure LOVE her!  She is such a great teacher and she even comes to our house!

I forgot to take a picture of the kids and Megan at their recital, so I made her pose with them after a lesson.  Anthony played "I Know That My Redeemer Lives" last Sunday in sacrament.  Before he was supposed to go up, he whispered in my ear, "Mom, how does the tune of my song go?"  He had the sacrament song in his head and he couldn't get it out.   :)  He did a great job!  Woot woot, Anthony!

Reunited.....and it feels so good.

The Callister's came to visit from Tennessee.  Boy, we were thrilled to have them back!

Thomas and Anthony

Brynn and Joseph

Brady and Lauren

Lauren was a trooper and rode dirt bikes with Brady.

Good times.......good times.

Head shot in the foam pit.

Spooky picture in the foam pit.  :)

Katie had to leave early for Girl's Camp.

The 4th of July

Get candy, get candy, get candy.

The Brenchley's.....a Morgan (Mtn. Green) favorite.  A HUGE congrats to Mel because she is prego! :)

Ethan did NOT like the sirens at the parade.  Nope, the parade wasn't his thing.  This picture is sans Brady because he was at Scout Camp all week.  Our house was pretty quiet without him.  His nickname at Scout Camp was "noisemaker"...................nice..............

Grace and Carly

We went to the baby blessing of Grace and Carly Carnesecca.  I forgot the camera, so we have less than clear phone pictures.  :)  The girls are so beautiful.  Congrats to Robert, Melissa and Ellie!

Secret Millionaire

I know there is a lot of junk on t.v. right now, but I found a show that is actually worth watching.  It is called Secret Millionaire but I think it should be called Secret Hero.  Basically a millionaire goes undercover to find people who are doing good in the world.  I haven't watched an episode yet with a dry eye.  I love to watch it with my kids so they can see that serving others is more important than having a lot of money.  Anyhoo, it is on Sunday night if you are interested in recording it.  

Glasses

Anthony and Brynn got glasses together this week.
