More Fun Reunion Stuff

I found some more fun pics and videos from our Green Family Reunion on Christi's phone.  Yay!

Lovely Lexi Li:

He makes pink shorts look so good!

Christi and me on another visit to Thanksgiving Point.  It really is one of our very favorite places in the world!

Beauty and the Beast

On the trail to Timp Caves:

Still soundly asleep:)

And of course, every family needs an evil sister around the campfire.  I love the juxtaposition of her haunted persona with her cute giggle ;)

End of the Rainbow

I am the luckiest traveling salesman in the world.  First of all, I don't travel that much.  About one overnight per month to Southern Utah.  But the area I cover is amazing!  I have five national parks in my territory!!!  When I go overnight, I try to take in a hike or a viewpoint or something.  Earlier this month I was driving near Lake Powell and came to the end of a heavy rainstorm.  I just had to stop and take this picture:

 

I feel so blessed to experience such beauty.

Little Miss Photogenic

Cali loves to have her picture taken.  And she loves to pose.  She loves to look straight at the camera. She loves to look coyly to the side.  She loves to look off into the distance.  She loves to have her hair down. She loves to pull her hair back.  She loves to pose with friends.  She loves...well, you get the idea:).  PS.  She also loves to go on dates!!!

Grateful for Insurance!

I was on our insurer's website and noticed that as a family we have submitted 138 claims year-to-date!  74 medical claims and 64 prescriptions.  That doesn't include any dental, orthodontic or vision care visits, of which there have been many.  Nor does it include the three surgeries or the three wisdom teeth removals that need to be done by the end of the year.  Are you kidding me?!?

Hairy Boys

Taylor decided not to cut his hair this summer.  He let it grow out for about five months.  Parker's hair also got longer than usual.  And I grew a serious beard.  It was fun!  Here are a couple of pics so you can see just how cool we all were:)  And a video of one son bench pressing another son is always worth watching.

Dinner Disaster

The collapsable strainer is a brilliant idea.  By using an accordion-folding silicone, the strainer can be stored so much more easily than a traditional strainer made completely of hard plastic.  A word to the wise, however.  When you start to notice cracks in the silicone, don't be an optimist and look at these cracks as extra holes for the water to drain through.  Instead, be a realist and recognize it's time to get a new strainer.  Otherwise, you may end up like us:

Cutest Cousins!

Sophi and her cousin Ben were two peas in a pod at the reunion.  I had to give them their own post with all of their cute pics:
