Balloons

On the 3rd of July we went and saw the Balloons. We love going. It is VERY early in the Morning But I think it is totally worth it.

The kids love it and is a fun little Tradition we started 3 years ago.
And this year Gavin and Olivia got to come with us.

Don't they look tired!

Then it was time for Donuts and Naps!
Balloons... See you again next year!

So we always put Gavin on our couch, leaning on one of the pillows (so he can watch the T.V. and the Ceiling Fan... and yes he loves T.V. just like his mom) and one time I was in the Kitchen cleaning and Ava starts Laughing so hard and yells for me to "come see, come see" and that is what I found. It was pretty funny and way cute. And instead of picking him up I went for my camera... you have to get a picture of that.

I guess he likes it.

Lets just say it happens a lot. We have to keep an eye on him now.

Nate's 8th Birthday

Nate my Youngest Brother turned 8 a few weeks ago.
I can't believe he is 8, he is getting so old... to bad he already acts like he is 16!

We went to Chilis for Lunch and all the kids got Ribs and we had a contest to see who could get the messiest! So gross... who came up with that game? Ok it was me!

Hope you had a Great Birthday Nate!
We love you!

Rachel and Braden's Wedding

On June 25th
Rachel and Braden got Married in the Salt Lake Temple.
It was such a fun, and Beautiful day. Rachel looked SO Pretty and the little girls were so excited that Braden was now there Uncle.

This is the only Picture at the Temple that I got London to look at me.

They had there Reception up at Tuscany in Salt Lake. It was SO Pretty, Perfect weather, good food and lots of friends and family we got to spend time with.

The little girls loved there Flower Girl dresses that Mimi made for them. They walked around like they owned the place with their flowers in hand.

London was another story... as soon as we handed her the flowers they were torn into a million pieces. And as for her Dress she had that ripped almost in two (she was sitting on the ground and when she stood up she stepped on her dress). Good thing they had raps to hide the mess and the safety pins.

Spencer and Judd (the soon to be new brother-in-law)
Him and Becca are getting married in August

Rachel looked so Pretty... I loved her Dress!

Don't you just love the Flowers... my mom and her friend Cindy did them.

Gotta love the
Chubby Red Head!

London I think ate the whole time. She loved all the desserts!
You can tell Eric was incharge of her, cause there is no way Amy would let her double fist the cake.

Congratulations Rachel and Braden
We love you guys!

Father's Day

I love this Picture.
Ava made that Tie for Ryan for Father's Day and he wore it all during Church.
Ava was so Proud of her work!

Camping @ Palisades

In June we went and did our annual family camping trip. We went to Palisades State Park. This year was much colder then last year and Rainy. We still had lots of fun even though we didn't go to the lake once. We ate, played golf, had lots of fun around the camp fire (that we made under the big pavilon, so we wouldn't get wet). We celebrated my moms birthday, the boys played lots of air soft. And did I mention that me, Gavin, my mom and my Aunt stayed in an AWESOME hotel... lets just say when we first saw it I was laughing so hard I peed my pants... a lot! We all said it was a mixture of going back in time to the 70's and sleeping at the haunted mansion at Disney Land. It was bad. the first night we were so scared we slept with the TV on. But at least we were warm, had hot water and a toilet. It was a lot of fun, Gavin did really good and we all stayed pretty dry.
