Camping at Payson lakes!

We camped up at Payson lakes this summer.  The kids were pleading with us to go again before we even got home!!  The cousins all went together (except Gigi, Liam and Dex) and we had foil dinners, smores and I told ghost stories to the kids by the campfire!  The next day we went hiking and the kids played in the forest!  We had a moose that lived in the campground which the kids loved watching!

Summer Gymnastics!!

Dorothy, Preston and Violet all participated in summer gymnastics.  They loved it and looked forward to class each week.  I loved watching them!  Dorothy now can do her round off back hand spirng!!  She's very excited about it!!

Fiesta days!!!

To kick off Fiesta days we took the kids and went to the carnival!  The kids loved it, I decided to act like I was tough and rode a spiny ride which made me sick!!  We also all ran the Speedy Spaniard Evan, Kelly, Allison and I all ran this 10k on the morning of July 24th (also Evan's birthday).  The kids and James ran the 1 mile, Dorothy won 2nd place in her age division after the run we attended the parade.  The boys took off to go golfing and then we headed home showered up and went over to Evan and Kelly's for ribs!!  It was such a fun day!!

Budge reunion!!

We attended the annual Budge reunion up at Bear Lake.  We spent the day catching up with family, swimming, riding wave runners and miniature golfing.  The kids look forward to attending this every year because it's so much fun!!

Ruby turns 2!!!

Sweet baby Ruby turned 2 on July 8th, she is obsessed with "Mou" anything Mickey and Minnie so she received lots of Mickey toys!!!  She is such a joy to our family and we are so blessed to have her in it!!!  

4th of July!!!

I love this holiday!!!  This year we hosted at our house and the kids were thrilled!!!  We had a traditional BBQ and then headed over to Jon and Allison's to light off fireworks, celebrate Jon's birthday and have dessert!!
