Splendid Summer

So in no order in particular, here are just a few moments captured from this summer. There will be more to follow, but with my 4 month or more delay in updating, I figured now is as good a time as any! And thanks to using my sisters computer so I actaully have some good strong internet connection.

We were so lucky to have our WHOLE family together in Utah this summer over the 4th of July, which, I have to say, is probably one of my favorite holidays. I LOVE summer, and since this holiday happens to fall smack-dab in the middle of summer, it makes it quite enjoyable. We went swimming, and camping, and BBQ'ing, and more swimming, and more BBQ'ing, and family, and friends, and baseball games, and fireworks, and game nights, and sleepovers, and sleep outs, and everything inbetween :)


Sadly I hardly saw any friends or family besides just my immediates, but it was fun to be back for a week, and hope to come back soon and see more people.


This is our good ol' morgan county 4th of july celebration. The kids were so patriotic and had there hair painted Red, White and Blue.


Hangin' out on Main street waiting for the parade to start....

Yay for water!! Cooling off in the pool.



And drying off on the tramp! :) It's tough to please all ages on here! The big kids want you to bounce them HIGH, and the little ones want you to hold them all and have NO one bounce. Can't please 'em all I suppose!


Tin foil dinners are an Easy solutoin to camp out meals! And everyone gets to p
ick their own stuffings! So Needless to say, that was probably the best eaten meal by the kids all trip.

Setting up camp, well, luckily the guys were such good boy scouts and did it all why we just played around and took pictures ;) haha, but really, all the guys set up camp, while the girls man handled the kids, not so much me--because I'm jus the aunt, and my job is to just le the kids do what makes them happy! jk So here are me and my two sister-in-laws.

Taking the kids on a ride. Michael, Emma and Hayley. They are all going to be going in to 3rd grade this year. Notice my fashionable outfit. I didn't really waste space to pack camping clothes, so I used what I had left at home, which included scrounging up some UGG winter boots--which are not so practical in Texas.....or camping in the summer for that matter!


Well, this is all for now... but there are more to come soon!

Looks like fun (except for the camping thing). Too bad I missed you. I'm in Utah now. But I will be back in Texas next year for good!
