Long-Lost Friends, Part 2

Ben had a best friend when he was young, named Kyle. Ben's parents divorced when he was 12, and he moved away from Spokane and from Kyle, and Ben and Kyle lost touch, of course - men are so bad at keeping in touch. :) Anyways, for some reason, Kyle always remembered Ben's birthday, after all these years, and this year, when he realized Ben's birthday was coming up, he somehow found out Ben's mom's new last name and where she lives now, and he got Ben's number from her. When he found out that we live in Idaho Falls, he wanted to stop by and visit us on his way to a family vacation in Montana. Then, he stopped by again, this time with his wife and kids, on his way from Montana to southern Utah. We had so much fun getting to know him and his family. Kyle remembered a lot of things from his childhood with Ben that Ben had forgotten, so it was fun to watch them catch up and to hear the way Ben was as a kid. Here's Kyle:

And here is his very, very cool wife, Shelley, and their youngest daughter, whose name I can't remember right now. This little girl cracked me up so much. At one point, she was in Sadie and Dylan's room. She stripped buck naked, and then got into Sadie's bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. Sadie was soooooooo dismayed by this: "Mommy, mommy, she naked in my bed!!!"

Here's their oldest daughter, whose name I can't remember, either. She was loving, loving, loving Micah:

Here is Kyle's son, Mack. I remember that one, because it's so unusual. Apparently, it's a family name, like Mackelroy, or Macnamera, or something:

And of course, my little Dylan:

And my little Sadie:

And my little Ben. Ben was showing Kyle pictures from his mission. It was cute:

This summer has been so fun! So many long lost friends.
