Reunion and the 24th

Busy as always- we got to go to Heber Valley Girl's Camp for a reunion with my side of the family. It was fun to all be together and it is SO pretty up there! We played Volleyball (very badly), built sandcastles by the lake, went canoeing, and all slept in ONE big cabin with 8 bunk beds in it.



Our town always has the best celebration for the 24th- the girls decorated their bikes to be in the parade and threw candy.
These 4 girls absolutely LOVE each other! Oni, Havie, Gabby and Michelle.Em running in the 3 and under race- the other girls were always nervous at this age to run in it- but not Em!
Face painting- Oni ended up with 5 pictures on her- crazy girl:) They also had a sawdust dig and butter churning for the kids.
Now we are on our way to the Lyman camp up Twelve Mile for a week- I am praying that Baby Grey sleeps well and doesn't have bad colick or I told Greg I'm coming home:)
Oh- I want to say "HI" to Mom who is in England with my sister and her husband right now- I'm glad you guys are having so much fun!!!

"Oh say can you see . . ."

. . . a cute little man blessed on the 4th of July- what a chunky monkey! I think we will call him "Chowder" since he eats every 2 hours. Anyway, it was such a special day spent with family, fun, and good food- thanks to all who helped as always:) Here Greyson is with all his cute Grandparents . . . And our cute little (maybe I need to say big now?) family. The girls love to be all Patriotic in their dresses . . . it's too bad you can't see their cute red, white, and blue sparkle toes.
Saturday was great also- what could be better than going to a parade and then up in the mountains for yummy hobo dinners, S'mores, and GREAT fishing! The girls both caught three fish with no help casting or reeling in- where was my camara?- they were soooo excited:) We also had 2 yummy BBQ's hosted by the Johnson's (or should I say- the BBQ King?) And now I have been minus two little girls- Oni and Havie- for three days while they are off having the time of their lives in Wayne County with their cousins. I haven't heard any fighting or whining for three days- it is so strange! Em just plays by herself or is my cute little sidekick shelling a ton of peas- what a good little helper:)
(Haven with her best friend/cousin- Laine)
I'm sure Auntie Rie is hearing an earful though- so THANKS for letting the girls have a big sleepover- you are the best!!! But you have to give them back now:)
