Happy Fourth!-Week Three

Hi everyone!! FYI, I have just returned from vacation and finally uploaded all of our fun vacation memories of the last few weeks, which are posted backwards on the blog. (sorry if that is confusing!!) You'll have to scroll down a ways to catch up on all of the fun things we've been up too!


Our last week of vacation was spent in Saint George and in one of the most idyllic places in the world--Brianhead, where Stephen's parents own some wonderful acreage. My pictures won't do this trip justice since my camera was full, but the trip included fireworks, four-wheelers, deer spotting, fishing, homemade ice-cream, card games, food and fun. Ella made some great memories with her cousins and I can report that they are all on the road to fast friendships. This week reminded me of all of the wonderful "cousin's camps," we had when I was a kid--treasured memories.

Loving the wiggle racers (might have to be a Christmas present!)

wow, I don't even know where to start as a comment. You have been one busy family. The shows look great that you got to go see - Wicked AND The sound of music! That is awesome that your grandparnets got everyone on that cruise! Good luck to your brother on his mission! Wow - such a busy summer!

Looks like the girls loved their vacation too. Aren't cousins great? My kids can't wait to see all theirs soon. I just love Ella's pony tails in all these pics. I tried Christina's today in a top and back pony - kind of fun too.

What an amazing vacation - you guys must be exhausted! ;) I only wish we could have met up with you somewhere along the way. We sure miss you guys. It looks like so much fun and I also am loving miss Ella's pigtails, she is so cute and grown up! We also love the shows at Tuacahn, especially with some frozen lemonade :) Glad to have you back in the blogging world!

Looks like you have been busy and having tons of fun. I did not know that Mindy is your aunt that is so random, she is such a doll! I love all your cute pics, cruises are the best!

what a fun trip. I wonder if we were down south at the same time. I have pics of the girls out at that splash pad/fountain thing outside as well. I'll be bummed if we were down there and didn't get together.

Wow that's so awesome you got to do all that in one summer! We are honestly so jealous. I can't believe we were in St George at the same time!

Why has Rick never taken us to the St. George splash pad? Is it new?
