Trying to get all the grand kids to stand still was close to impossible. They had so much fun.
This is the cutest picture ever.
Here my kids would not cooperate. They wanted to play instead of take pictures. Kristy just had the place my kids love to explore.
This is a great picture of Carver.
Then all the grand kids.
I thought that is turned out really cute. Left to right, Justin and Danielle's kids Braxton 8, 
My Manwaring Family decided to plan a camping trip for this past weekend. Me and my Aunt Merideth though it was long over due for some Man Fam Fun. My Uncle Chris and Aunt Pauline have the cutest boys, in the picture above. Jeremy dragged that pop bottle on a rope trough that big puddle for a long time. It was so funny. He is 5 years old and can say his Alphabet backwards and tell you anything you want to know about lady bugs.
More pop bottle puddle playing
and more....
Rhett and I took of for a four wheeler ride with out the kids. It was super fun.
This is the hill Rhett went down alone on his four wheeler while I waited up top with mine. lol
My Grandpa Manwaring is so funny with all the little kids. 
Here is is taking my Uncle Brent and Aunt Merideth's twins for a little ride.
Here Grandpa was helping the kids ride their bikes down the four wheeler ramp that was lot's of fun and took up alot of time to keep them busy.
It got cold there at the end of the day the clouds moved in and it started to rain right as we were getting ready to call it a day. Bryce, Braxton, Danielle and Ellcie were trying to get warm.
Then you have the chit chat session with Uncle Eric, Keaton and Rhett.
More chit chat around the camp fire with Uncle Brent, Grandpa and Merideth.
Here Uncle Eric is teasing the little kids, he is always great at that.
Uncle Chris and Aunt Pauline watching the kids run wild.
Rhett, of course looking grouchy. He always looks grouchy in pictures.
Keaton is loving some fried Chicken.
Bryce waiting for a four wheeler ride. That is all he wanted to do.
Haegen also wanted to ride.
We had tons of fun, and I want to do it again. We missed everyone that couldn't make it. It would have been super fun for all the Aunt and Uncles to be able to make it.
You have always provided us with any and everything we could ever want, physical and emotional. We all know that you sacrificed all of your free time to our family. You worked hard your whole life and when you were not away at work you were at home making it a fun and better place for us kids to live. I remember that you always put us first. You would spend your free time welding our big old swing set that we had so much fun on and making tether ball stand and our teeter taughter, and much more. You would take us four wheeling and boating and camping and always put our needs and fun above your own.
We can always come to you with any help that we might need. We all know that we can ask dad he might have a better way to do something.
All of the grand kids know that their Popie loves them with all his heart. You have never raised your voice to them or made them feel like they are worth less then gold in your eyes.
You have taught us all to work hard and love each other, and that the gospel is an important part of our lives. I hope that you have a great day and I wish that we could give you an ounce of what you have gave all of us our whole lives.
We love you Dad.
I feel bad because I had a family reunion on the mountain today and so we didn't get to do our annual birthday lunch today but we will have to catch up next week and do it.
This girl has been in my corner through thick and thin. We have been friends for almost 15 years. I still remember the first time I ever talked to her. I remember thinking "man this chick is to funny I need to hang out with her"! So I did and here we are 15 years, seven kids, tuff times and great times later.
I do not ever remember having a fight with Joey. We were and are always way to busy being goofy and laughing. 
So Happy Birthday Joey and thanks for always being the best friend I always need. You have been there for me to always call and cry to when life was just to hard to handle, and you have always been there to enjoy the great times also, like all of our babies, and dragging main screaming Aint Goin' Down Till the Sun Comes Up, and much more. I could never tell you how much it means to me to know that I have you in the world to love me through thick and thin, through good times and bad. 
The good news is that Cookie (Bryce's) Rabbit is still alive,
The bad news is Flip Flop (Haegen's) and Loposie (Taylor's) passed away.
It was sad they went out to check on them Sunday morning and Haegen and Bryce came running in saying that they were dead and I say are you sure? Well they went out and carried them in of course and yes they were dead.
Bryce rubbed his eye and I said are you crying and he said I'm about to.
Then I said ok we will take them down to grandpa's and bury them. Then Bryce starts crying and says no I don't want to bury them. Well come to find out later, He thought I meant bury all of them even his that was still alive.
So sad. I would have thought Bryce's would be the first to go the way he packs it around every were he goes. He just loves them.
Looking to the future..........lol you are such a poser.
Lot's of luck on your big adventure called life.
