Gretchen and her daughter Sadie and Cassie's sister.


Johnathan Hanson (Brent's cousin) and Brittany.



Gretchen's son McKay and Brinley.





Jonathan and Natalie (his wife).




The cousins and spouses.






Jonathan's kids, Clark, Katy, Sarah having breakfast with Conner before he went to school and they went to Disney.


We had a great time visiting with everyone. At one point I was sitting with Gretchen's daughter Lucy and Jonathan's Katy and Sarah and with Conner. I told them how their grandpas were brothers and that they were cousins. They looked at me a little confused. It was funny. Conner then said that his favorite cousin was Will.

Flat Stanley part 3

We took Flat Stanley to see the swamp in our neighborhood. We had an alligator there this summer but the associaton had a trapper catch him. He was about 3 feet long. I am glad that I never saw him. The mansion in the background is Ken Griffey Jr. home.





















Today we were driving on the freeway when we saw flames and smoke. This car was on fire. On the way back I took a picture. It did not turn out great because we were going 65 miles an hour.

Flat Stanley part 2

On Monday Flat Stanley went with us to Conner's baseball game.



You can see Conner at bat right behind Flat Stanley.

Today we went to the Orlando Temple to take some pictures.






We took a picture in front of our house. The grass is looking so good, but not for long, as soon as the cold weather rolls in the grass will get brown.
