At Emiy's House

Here is a video of the grandkids. We are at Emily's house and you can hear Martha playing the piano and Martha and Emily talking. There is also Scott whistling trying to get Jake's attention. Sorry for the fuzziness and the sea sick way the video goes but Scott is trying to use the video function on our digital camera.

Tanner's Baptism

These are the pictures of Tanner's bapism on April 7, 2007. We are so very proud of him. There were five other boys who were baptized that night, including Tanner's cousin Robby from Alpine, Utah. They traveled over to Colorado because both of his grandparents live here. It was kind of nice to know that where my little grandson is getting baptized is in the same church my Grandpa and Grandma Stoker helped to build back when it was just a branch building in 1964.

Afterwards there was pizza in the cultural hall. Be careful, Tanner. Don't get sauce on that new suit.


Jayla, pretty in pink. Always with a pad and pen.

The Tail End of our visit to Grand Junction

Here are the last of the pics of our visit with Ellen and Jason in Grand Junction. Jason is giving Cami some pointers on swimming in the pool at the motel




She was so proud of herself as she swam with the noodle.



One last time in the hot tub.


That vent would blow a big gust of air. Cami liked to stick her little bum into the wind.


That Helicopter was part of an army display outside our motel. The cute couple from Provo posing for the camera.

On the road again.

Grand Junction

On Friday, March 30, of Martha and Cami's visit, we headed across the mountains for a visit to Grand Junction where we met up with Ellen and Jason. Here are some pictures of our trip.


Where are we going, Grandpa?


Let's get you strapped in.



The view of the snow capped peaks.


Okay, I'm going to read.


Now I'm going to color.




Maybe some videos.


Aren't we there yet?


C'mon Grandpa, let's go to Wendy's to meet Aunt Ellen and Uncle Jason.



Aunt Ellen - You are so funny!


Martha and Jason in deep conversation.


Hello, Everyone! Let's go for a dip with the dip.


Martha's got chlorine in her eyes.


Grandpa takes over with the noodle maze.


More dips in the hot tub.


Uncle Jason. Can I do Nick Jr. on your 'puter?


The two computer geeks are oblivious to the leaning Gpa.


Cami, this is how you do it without a mouse. (The Gpa is still sleeping).


Wow! I'm doing it by myself.


The Pratt sisters minus one.


I got my bowling shoes on.


How is my form?


There is goes!


Ellen, trying to keep the bowling balls in order.

Heading into Chili's for some grub.

There will be another installment of our time in G. J. at a later date.

Evening at Gma and Gpa's House

When Martha and Cami were here we had a Sunday get-together. Here are some pictures from that event.


Martha playing with little Jacob. "Down you go."

"Up you come."


Zack and Cami playing an organ duet while Emily looks on.

"You play the high notes and I'll play the low ones."

"Is anybody listening to us?"


Scott and Cami made cupcakes for dessert. We were actually celebrating Jacob's birthday. Each grand-child got to have a cupcake with a candle in it so everybody could blow a candle out. The first one was for Jake, but Gma had taken his pacifier out of his mouth so as you can see he wasn't too happy.


It's Jayla's turn. We all sang "Happy Birthday" each time. Big brother Tanner is waiting patiently for his turn.

Cami's turn. Next will be Zack.

"Pick it up - Smash it in your face. Yum! Yum!"

"Feel the cake - Smash it on the tray. Yum! Yum!"

"I sure enjoy wearing and eating cupcakes."

One of the events of the evening was a backyard game of croquet. Martha is taking a slug at the ball while Tanner looks on.

You go, Martha!

Cami does a flop on the ground while Jayla looks on.

Martha and Tanner taking their turns with Cami in the background and the blurr is the running Jayla.

I have no pictures to document this but later on that evening, after the adults went in the house, there came a blood-curdling scream. Tanner came crying into the house holding his head. The kids had been racing out back but while Tanner ran by, Zack had taken a croquet ball and thrown it in the direction of the running children and clocked Tanner right in the head. There was no blood, but Tanner did receive a big knot on his eye-brow. Needless to say, Zack spent a few minutes in a time-out situation until he looked at his mother and told her, "I done being a booger." He hugged his brother told him he was sorry and wanted to give him a kiss.
