Guess who...

crawled for the first time today! 4 true hand/knee steps. Way to have great upper body strength and dogged determination, Laura!

Summertime!

Here is Jared enjoying his beginning of summer get-together at the park. The Kane family shared their annual tradition with the ward. All it requires are swimsuits, cans of aerosol whip cream and otter pops for all afterward. Fun idea!

Empathy from a dog

Happy Fathers Day Grandpa!!

We hope you have a wonderful fathers day and we can't wait to see you soon!!

Happy Father's Day!

To our dear father, leader of the Price clan, patriarch of the awesomeness we call home, conqueror of professional quandaries, front man of efficiency, scaffolding that upholds all that is good, exemplar of Price-style humor, award-winning spouse of our just-as-amazing mother and gracious benefactor to all the priceless Priceletts all around the country. We love you, Dad.

Laura now sits for a while, rolls to her hands-and-knees crawling position, laughs like crazy at her brother's antics, is occasionally attacked by imaginary pirate cannons for being a "baby Cracken" in the "sea", is sweet and smiley.

Happy Birthday, Krystle!

Today is Krystle's birthday! Horray, horray!
She has two cute kids and a washer on the way!
We think she is great, she's as lovely as a blossom,
She's amazing, talented, beautiful and awesome!

We wish you a HAPPY YEAR AHEAD!

P.S. Send your new home address to us all. We hope you're settling into your new home just fine.

Kara and Kayden having fun at the Nauvoo Visitor's Center.

Baby Laura modeling her "Auntie Kendra" hair color. See, she just wants to be like Kendra!

The Nauvoo Temple. Old school done right...for the second time!

Grandma Stephanie helping Laura try on her wedding outfit before the big day.

Kenneth participated with as much enthusiasm as he could muster. Jared was a little confused by this "impostor" uncle and can't wait for the real thing to come back into town. Kayden meeting the Nauvoo horse, Mike.

Mom's talent for flowers and decor are evident with the pretty mailbox arrangement and front door displays.
Kendra and Dad posing in the family room at the beginning of the reception. We love your hairdo, Kendra!

The parents with Cyrus and Kendra posing for photos before the crowds come inside.
Look at those gorgeous bows (ahem!). Thanks Mom, for passing along the grandmothers' knowledge that was handed down to you.
Mark and Bea drove across the country to be there for the big day and reception! Awesome. They brought Buck and Spitz, who were quite popular with all of us, as usual. The dogs hung out in the air conditioned car a lot during the visit -- it is VERY humid and hot out in Illinois this time of year!

Check out Kendra's awesome wedding shoes. I wish I had as much style (and online shopping skills) as this girl possesses. Your colors rock, Kendra.


The bouncehouses! Jared is in the red shirt. He literally ran himself ragged that night. Horray!
Love the lamppost in the front yard. Mom's arrangments are so pretty!
Kathryn and Laura sitting with Grandma Joyce. Grandma has had a busy month of travel and two weddings!

Fox nephews enjoying the bounce house.
Let them eat cake! Beautiful cake flowers. Delicious cake!


So that's all I've got. Did you guys get other good photos? I'd love to see one of our family with Kendra in front of the temple.

Family Fun in Illinois

Let the Price family games begin!

Aunt Marcia and Haylee Jo traveled all the way from Panaca to be there with the family for Kendra's wedding week. We had a great time -- Marcia is an amazing grandma, all the kids gravitated to her (see Claire melting in her arms).

Kendra and Cyrus were on full-fledged "awesome auntie and uncle" mode.

Jared and Kayden are so cute together.

Jared inside the wheel well of the "Raminator" truck, one of the many cool vehicles at the Touch-A-Truck community day. Guess who is draped over the top of that huge wheel...

The siblings at the May 20 Touch-A-Truck event: Kara with Corbin & Kayden, Krystle with Daryn & Claire, Kathryn with Laura & Jared, Kendra & Cyrus, and cousin Haylee Jo. I believe Marcia was taking the photo. We didn't get a photo of Mom there! Another shot of Cyrus being a cool uncle to the boys.

Happy Birthday, Kirk!

"When 32 years old YOU become, look as good, you will not." - Yoda

We had a great time pulling off a successful (adrenaline-pumping) "Surprise!" for Kirk when he arrived in Illinois late in the evening on the 20th. Haylee Jo helped make our awesome birthday banner, Kendra made and frosted a 3-level cake (with Cyrus commandeering the icing tube mid-way), and we all had fun hiding under the dining room table to jump out at just the right moment when Kirk came home. Even Kenneth made a surprise trip up from Houston to be there (ha ha!).


Funny factor photo. Dad was giving Kara a wet willy and Tom was on tip-toes because Kenneth had inexplicably grown 4 inches in 16 months...
Ahh, a more normal photo of our awesome family. Happy birthday, Kirk! We love you!
