Happy 24th!

Happy Pioneer day! This year we went way out of the norm and decided to stay home for the 24th! Our good friends the Barrons came over and we had a BBQ. The kids swam and jumped on the tramp and then we went across the street for fireworks at the Stones house! It was a very relaxing day and very fun! So relaxing and fun i failed to take hardly any pictures! Here's what I did get.

my beautiful Malia

My beautiful little girl is growing up so fast! We snapped these cute shots on the way home from a Hannah Montana birthday Party and yes.....it was a blast I was singing the entire time as music from my personal favorites blasted throughout the house! Here are some cute pics!

I love Summertime!

i love these pictures of the kids playing with the neighbor kids. We have had a very busy Summer and it seems like there has been no time for me to slow down and take pictures! I am going to do better about blogging! What a slacker i am! Here is some cute little dirty feet! I love that they are dirty cause it means they have been playing!

Happy Fourth!

I love the fourth of July! I love the colors, the fireworks, the yummy food, and the feeling that it really is Summer time! Hope you all had a fun time....here are some of my favorite pictures from yesterday!

Ember's favorite part of the Provo Canyon

Ember's favorite part of the picnic.....walking off the line, then on the line, off the line, then on the line, you get it ?......if not see the pictures for a demonstration. She was entertaining us all!

cookout!

We have been wanting to go up the canyon for a cook out for it seems like forever! This Summer has been busier then most it seems like. we haven't had as much play time! So we finally just did it! Thank you to my amazing husband who cooked dutch oven for everyone. IT was sooooo good! He is an amazing cook! We had so much fun just being up in the mountains and doing....well nothing! Malia made sand angels
( see picture ), the girls ate watermelon ( so did I of course), summer modeled for me free of charge ( see picture ), and Weston looked around with those big brown eyes. Oh yes and ember, see the post above for her favorite part of the trip!

Slacker!

Ok so I realize I have not been keeping up on my blogging! I have been so busy editing pictures for everyone else that I have neglected my blog! I am going to try and get back on track so ...let's start now...yep it's 2:00 A.M. and I should be asleep but in order to give my children all the attention they need tomorrow, I will post tonight! Woo Hoo! Life is a roller coaster!
