24th Celebration

Pretty pathetic that these are the only two pictures that I have of the 24th. It was a pretty crazy weekend. Mike had to do fire training and so I was solo with the kids. We did have fun though. When Mike got home Friday night we went with John and Debbie, Brett and Angela and Kylie and Andrew to dinner. It was slow, but delicious! Then, Mike and I stopped by our 10 year reunion for a bit. I really didn't know many people but it was still fun. Crazy how much we actually all still look the same! After that we had the pleasure of chaperoning the youth dance. It was so funny to see how the kids interact now. Nobody was dancing! They were all just standing around in their groups! It took them a good 2 hours to warm up to each other. We had a fun time just watching them all. Saturday we did the parade and the craft fair. It was humid as all get out, but the kids still had fun. Carter and Gage bought these bad boys with their money they had saved. They LOVE them. Well worth the $7.50!
Mike and I decided to try out the rodeo Sat. night when he got home, and we loved it! I can't believe we have never gone! We will for sure be taking our kids next year. The fire works were great too. It made for a great Pioneer Days!
They were all pretty good at waiting for their turn on the zipline.
Everyone getting their fill of the pinata.

This boy is all boy and has no fear. He just took off and never looked back!
And this boy had a little infatuation with Katlyn. She was loving it too!
Gage taking a turn trying to bust it open and get some candy!
It was a good time and very relaxing! Thanks John and Debbie!

Family Reunion~ Heber 2010

For the reunion this year John and Debbie rented a cabin in Heber for us all to hang out in. It was really fun to hang out with everyone. The kids loved the zip line. Carter had to conquer his fear of heights, but once he did there was no stopping him!

Here's Gavin taking a whack at the pinata!


We all hung out on the porch a lot eating snow cones, cotton candy and otter pops. Who needs more than that?

All the kids with Grandma and Grandpa. Katlyn is the oldest and there are 18 kids so we have A LOT of little ones.


Katlyn spent a lot of time on the zip line too.

Ride 'em Cowboy!

Mike's friend Milo has a few minature horses at his house and one unexpectedly had a baby a few weeks ago! I don't know how I missed taking a picture of the baby but it was so dang cute! No joke that thing barely came up to Gavin's waist!
These two were loving riding. Next time Milo says he will hook up his cart and let them do that. He's such a nice guy! I think we need one of these~

Cousin Camp 2010

Ohana was the theme and Grandma and Grandpa did a fabulous job! The kids learned so much as usual and had a blast too. Katlyn always gets a little homesick, but she is getting better each time. We are grateful to George and Colleen for taking the time to do this for our kids! Here are all the kids and the event planners. Don't they look awesome?
I love Carter's smile in this one.

The boys doing the Hakka. It was awesome! They did a great job!

Katlyn doing her dance with the girls. I didn't get a picture of them all but they were all too pretty!

Here's a picture of the banner for the year with Katlyn doing the zipline in there too. This swingset it also awesome! Really it's much better in real life. The kids will stay out there all day long once it isn't so dang hot!

4th of July

I spaced taking any pictures but this on the 4th. It was a pretty crazy weekend, but we had a good time. The parade was the best. The food was awesome, and the company wasn't that bad either.
