Laurie and I traveled to Utah and spent a week at a condo in Ogden Valley (Eden). We enjoyed ourselves and had family come up and stay the night with us. I didn't include any pictures of Laurie and I because we don't like the way we looked in the pictures so they'll stay hidden on our computer. While we were there we drove down for the blessing of Kale. Andrew and Alyssa came up several days and let us spend some quality time with Kale.

Grandma Laurie thought Peyton needed a new toy, take me to the galaxy Buzz

As a tribute to their Grandpa the grand kids ran as a tribute to him in the 24th of July 5K run in Enterprise Utah. As you can see they were short on participants and could only spell EMM. He was still proud none the less of the gesture. Emmett is still recovering from his procedure for prostate cancer. Our prayers go out to Emmett and Jackie as they fight through another battle of this mortal life.

This is Kale Andrew Wilson our second grandson. He was the main reason that Laurie and I traveled to Utah. We finally got to see him in person and to hold him. Andrew and Alyssa would send us pictures by phone but it was great to hold and play with him. Kale has gotten to see family and to meet his cousins on Alyssa's side of the family but he told me he wants to meet this Peyton that his grandpa keeps talking about.

Here's Kale in his first 5 generation photograph.

Finally we convinced Kale's mother Alyssa to get in front of the camera.

We had a wonderful trip and Alyssa and Andrew came over every day so we could hold Kale. I'm hoping with my new job that I'll be able to take more time off so I can see my kids and grand kids more often. Alyssa, Andrew, and Kale are having family pictures taken soon so I'll be posting them as soon as we get them.
