Luttrell Vacation!!
Pool Bum!
The cousins love baby Hudson!! Kase refers to him as his baby:-)
You can't get any cuter Kase-man!! :-)
Hudson working out!!
Grandma is the coolest!!
Grandpa and Kase! I love this!!
Go Hope!!
Our room!
I like this one!
Sweet little Hudson!
okay- so do you see that couple that is all over each other in the pool? That's David and I...How embarrassing!! Grandpa can really get the pics! 
We love you "Ter Ter"!!
There was a little park beside the pool that J loved!!
Hudson and Aunt Kristy! I love this!
Kobe when he first wakes up!
Kloe!
The grandkids with Grandma and Grandpa!!
Best Buds!!
Look at that jump!!
The Hike! David wasn't able to come until mid week so Grandpa was sweet to take "daddy duty" on the trail.....
The whole gang!!
This cracks me up...two years ago I would have read a book for two hours while baking in the sun...and David with his shirt and computer...all under the shade while the pool and the sun is just a step away.....I think it was just a way to get a second of relaxation!!
okay- so I thought this was pretty funny too...John David was whining about something- and look at my face! I'm a bit intense...I know when I have this face...I can feel it, but I've never seen it until this totally random pic was flashed. hum....
John David put his hat on, Kase wanted one, John David shared one of his hats with Kase, Kase got some juice, J had to have juice, Kase shared his juice with J. This is how it worked all week.....
This pic doesn't do the craziness any justice...but maybe you can tell a bit....
Emily-left. Leah-right. Okay- so we'll take a vote....or maybe not...I'll just say that I win:-)
Doesn't every kid want to do this?
John David got into the pool bag on the way home....it kept him occupied for a while:-)
We miss you all already TONS and TONS!! We are so blessed by you guys!!

Click on this video and watch it....This song was written by a young man after his bestfriend and youth pastor died in a car wreck. The youth pastor had said that if it would stir today's youth he would ask the Lord to take his life. That night he died. The young man who wrote the song said that he believed that if the Lord would answer the first part of the prayer he would answer the second part. He says that He believes God will use this song- He already has in many many ways.
No matter the story behind why and how it was written, the song is powerful. Simple and powerful. Oh how He loves us.
If you guys have watched the cardboard testimonies video you'll recognize that this was the song playing while the people were telling their stories.

Marchin' to the....
Yep! We've started potty training. This picture (above) was taken this past Wed...As you can tell he was not very thrilled. I think he thought it should be happening faster. To get him to sit down and stop "doing" was a chore....that's been the worse thing. He's so active...so typical boy- he never wants to stop what he's doing....running, playing, jumping, roaring, etc.....long enough to use the potty....so we've had to get a bit creative....but finally after many many many "spills" on the carpet and porch and....finally....after mom being very humbled after cleaning up many poops ( there's a big difference between changing a dirty diaper and cleaning poop out of underwear and off the kitchen floor)....finally, after having to go to walmart to buy more underwear...finally after wet underwear being hung all over our back deck...finally....J used the potty without anything leaking out before he got there!! We were both so so excited...we both were just a laughin and gigglin the whole time it went EVERYWHERE...all over the back of the lid, on the trash can, on the floor- only a tiny lit bit made it in the actual potty....gotta work on the aim....but it's a great start....we'll see how it continues to go!!
Go John David!!!! He did it!
He's saying "YES!!!!"
Showing his "prise"We had Now and Laters on the shelf infront of him.....staring at him...calling his name.....:-)

This year was a bit different....lots of little ones around....and two for us to run after....it was so much fun. We had a great time with everyone hanging out! When you have a family that is this big and is full of the kind of love everyone has for one another- it's obvious it's a gift from our Father!! We have been so blessed...for generations. A lasting heritage. Thank you Mama and Papa Ward for sharing your love for your Savior with us!! We love you both dearly!
