Hanna Visits Part 2

Seriously I am so mad we didn't get any pictures of my sister and I together! We  always have a blast when we are together!

More of our favorites from their visit were....
Letting the kids play in the backyard, making smore's, jumping on the trampoline, and watching the kids with their cousins.

Sweet baby Finley

Chandler and Savanah share such a special bond.
It is so cute to watch them together!

Going to the
St. George Splash Park
(Love this place too)

The hubbies watched the kids here while Han and I did some shopping!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the park.

On to July

Those hot summer days wouldn't be the same without WATER! We got plenty of miles on this double glider Slip n' Slide! Man the kids loved it!!


My kids are WATER BABIES pure and simple. They could play in the water all day! 
(hmmmm...sounds just like me!)

Of course we LOVE the 4th of July!
There is such good feelings of family and love attached to this holiday!

Our Family Traditions
Parade
Fireworks
BBQ
Playing in the Water
Crying 
(yes...I am always overcome with emotions of gratitude on this day. For those who serve and are serving and for a profound love for being an AMERICAN!) 

I love watching the kids anticipation at the parade.


My favorite part of the parade...the VETERANS!


We had a fun BBQ this year with some great friends.
Thanks to Beau and Kurt for the firework show and "glowstick" show! HA!!



It was a great 4th of July!


More Summertime Fun

I know...I know....I am still far behind. But there are certain fun times as a family that I want to make sure I blog about so it will go in our book.

One of our favorite family activities is to go riding.
Beau will load up his and Caleb's bike, and I will load of snacks and toys to play in the dirt, and we head up the mountain. 
Beau and Caleb share the love of dirt bike riding and have so much fun together doing just that.
I of course get my "nature picture taking" fix and the other kiddos love to hike and play in the dirt!


LOVE this picture. These two were watching Caleb jump!

Daddy giving rides.
Best Buddies!
I love that they get to bond through things they both love!


And we saw this on our drive home!
Perfect ending to a perfect day!
