Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. - Steve Jobs

The Eltons Visit The Garner's



We were so happy to score some time the Elton family before the White family reunion. We got to keep them all to ourselves. Muhahahaha!




Liam enjoyed his time wearing Jake's motorcycle helmet & pulling our garden wagon around. He told Jake "I liked your old house better. It was more fun." We can't really figure that one out since our old house didn't have a yard or anywhere to play. Perhaps it is the nostalgia of it.



Serious business.



Liam found a baby snake taking a stroll in our grass.



He had it for a snack. ;-)



Anna enjoyed stirring the pond water & letting the fish suck on her fingers.



The men being manly.



Eric exploring the great frontier.



Liam has loved Jake's motorcyle helmet since he was 6 months old. When he started walking he would put it on & try to walk around. The weight usually sent him reeling backwards to the floor, but he loved it.



The Eltons greeting baby Seth for the first time.



Ah. The life of a growing baby. I wish I could sleep that well.



We spent a day at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point.









It was scary.



Eric found a pet.



Anna found many pets to share.



I was pretty much terrified the whole time.



O.k. Here's my fun with photoshop. (Oops! Looks like I didn't finish this picture. )






I needed a wind machine to give myself some action hair.



I wouldn't want to be this guy.


Not sure I'd want to be him either. He's trying to take a Woolly Mammoth out with a rock Good luck with that.



One of Liam's favorite. Megalodon!



Afterwards we went to the Mayan for some yummy dinner & high diving.


Yes. This guy is hanging from the ceiling. He also hung from the ceiling just by his toes.

I'm so glad you got some pics of all that. I don't really have any. I have a few cute ones of the kids at your house though. I'm going to blog them when I get a chance. I love how sweet LIam looks with the snake. Hmm...why didn't you mention that he cut it in half?

Does liam shovel all of his pets?

You're better at photoshop than I am becky. you'll have to teach me some tricks.

I am so sad that I missed all the elton's stay. The reunion was a blur for me, it went by so fast.

The picture of the Megaladon reminds me of basically the best youtube clip ever that hopefully you haven't seen yet...
