24th of July

Sydney, Anna,me, Trina, Chas, Tyla, Amber, some cousins that we haven't seen since they, or we, left Utah. So good to see them! and of course two of my awesome sister in laws! The theme for the parade in Sanford this year was Book of Mormon, so here is the tree of life with people holding on the iron rod, so cute!
The Brother of Jared and his boat, I can't believe how much work they put into these things, pretty cool!Aubrey, Mandy, Misty, Emree, Ashley

Peggy, Lynn, well I am not even going to try and name everyone here too many kids not facing me!


Cousin Ashlee, Tyla, Cousin Emma, Aunt Cori (which we were so glad we got to see), Emma's friend Kara and Ashlee's little girl Kenzie


Cord, Colby and Casen riding in the parade


If you or anyone you know is from Southern Colorado you know that the 24th of July is the biggest time of the year. The little towns around about triple in size and you get to see relatives you haven't seen for awhile. There are parades, BBQ's and of course the well known foot races. We all raced, well except for Chas and Beckett. Brady ran with his cousin Creed in the three legged race and they did pretty darn good, Brookie did it too and finished right behind the boys. Brooklyn and I made it to the last 4 people in the egg toss, but by then we were so far apart she couldn't even throw it that far. We had a great time and can't wait to do it again.

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Next to my kids this is my pride and joy, I love working in the garden! Chas likes it too, he doesn't have to weed! Actually he always takes care of the kids while I spend time there. It's so nice!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
