Fun times in UT
At the end of June, my brother Greg came home from his LDS mission to Baltimore. We went to UT/ID for two and a half weeks to visit family and part-ay!
AJ had a really fun birthday party!
We had a fun bowling day; Annie could not get enough of swings
lots of bubble baths; playing video games at Aunt Stephanie's and Uncle Jared's
We did the BEST fireworks show with the Yates for the fourth of July. It was the perfect night (except that time that one rogue firework shot off into the mothers and children and burned Brooke and traumatized everyone!!!)
Bear Lake with Harpers and Idaho
The kids were in awe the whole drive through the canyon to Bear Lake.
When we were in Idaho, we took a drive up to a lookout point and picked wildflowers with Uncle Garrett.
Don't you just love that smile???!!!!
Declo Days! This weekend was actually my 10-year high school reunion. I helped plan it, so it was really fun to go and see a lot of old friends and be in the parade. I love my hometown! Greg's homecoming talk was also that Sunday, so we had a lot of family in town. It made for a great weekend! We had some family run in the Hammer Run with us this morning, too.
Other summer adventures
Ann now sitting with big kids; swimming
Kate is VERY excited for preschool with her princess Sophia backpack
Biking; David took M & K to a Royals game
Building forts in the basement; nature hike with Dad
science projects (fails)
sidewalk chalk; Who says July is too early to get ready for Halloween??
Kate's Nail Painting Party
I decided that instead of birthday parties for the kids, we will just do a party with family, and instead, the kids can do summer parties with friends. I don't have to worry about presents and entertaining a lot of people while worrying about neglecting my non-birthday offspring. So we had a young woman from our ward come and paint nails for Kate and a few friends, we had pink cupcakes and balloons, and the most important thing was, Kate (and Ann) had a fabulous time.

Heather,
It's such a delight to see your adorable little family. I am also surprised (but not at all) to see how lovely you look in sweats and a ponytail and covered in children. Since you will probably see her before I do, give your mom a HUGE hug the next time you see her.
