Let's catch up...

I'm going to have to rewind a few months, in fact can we just go back to the beginning of summer? Please!!!

Here are a few of the fun things we did this summer

1. I love my June Birthday...

My sister, mom and I usually go on a girls trip

We all headed to mom's vacation house in St. George

Lots of fun, lots of laughs, and lots of secrets

This year the girls choreographed a little dance to this song

Mom took them to buy costumes and accessories for this "BIG SURPRISE"

I laughed so hard at these sillies

Love my girls and nieces!!!

2. While in St. George, we hit the lake

Sand Hollow is lots of fun, but beware of swimmers itch!

We get it every year

We still go back for more

Man down or overboard




Wakeboarding is the sport of choice for my kiddos





Sean has to show off

Tanner hanging

Haili stays right in the middle

3. Our annual family reunion/service project at Bear Claw was in July

So much fun

The highlight was definitely the tug of war

YES, children and adults were injured in this family group activity

Glad I was snapping the pics:)

This was in our cabin and just too cute!

Emma had bundled Tugzi up for the night

Kitchen crew getting breakfast ready

Bear Claw would not be the same without playing lots and lots of games

Campfires....awe...the best

Emma's always in the mood for this table hockey

Haili and my niece Ciara had disappeared for quite some time

I went off searching for them (happened to have a camera with me)

Stumbled onto them sitting on the porch at aunt Donna's cabin

with a jar of peanuts

"What are you two doing", I asked

"Shhhhhhh", they replied

The closer I got, the better I saw what was going on

Chipmunk taming!!!

So what's camping without a very, very messy baby

Kyle is just over a year old and loves to make everyone laugh

4. Earlier this year, Emma was asked to be in a play with her cousins

My brother-in-law's mom was directing "Charlie Brown" and needed a Red Head

They performed July 15, 16, 17

It was super cute and the kids did such a good job!

They ended on the 17th with a big cast party with food and swimming

We also celebrated our wedding anniversary

Took a trip to Idaho

Went on a weekend getaway with some family friends

Enjoyed plenty of BBQs

Read lots and lots of books (no TV for summer)

Watched lots of movies (same reason as above)

Went snorkeling and crayfishing

& had a lot of fun, family time
