The 24th of July

This weekend we were able to spend time with Mariah on her 18th birthday.....We had a great time! We went up the the lake and went boating, sat in the sun and played with the kids in the water. ( I will post pictures when I get them emailed from my sister in law) Then we went to the Demolition Derby in Kamas. (ok, this was interesting) I don't know what I enjoyed more....watching all the funny people that were SO into this event, or laughing at Taylor crying because she thought it was the most ridiculous thing in the world and that someone was going to DIE! I told her and Mariah that next year they could be in the Powder Puff Derby (girl drivers)

She was VERY upset by this and NO, she will never go again! What have I done to her?????? Then we went to the cabin and stayed the night. It was awesome to be up there again. The kids all had a blast just being together, building forts in the loft with all the cushions and blankets, playing games, hide and seek and of course eating ALL the treats that grandma always has up there. We always love being at the cabin and being with family. Thanks for coming Mariah, it was great!

I Love You!

I want my girls to know how much I love them! We had a fun weekend and were able to spend some time together as a family. I was reminded quickly how much they love each other. Little Gracie LOVES to be with Ellie. Those two can fight so much, but at the same time cry for the other one getting in trouble. They really are little buddies....Ellie is so great to watch over and protect Gracie. Thank you Ellie, for being such a good big sister.

Taylor, you are a wonderful sister and always take on the motherly role when needed. I am so lucky to have 3 beautiful girls. I love each of you so much and LOVE your sweet kisses!

Family Reunions

We have had so much fun at our Family Reunions the past couple of weeks. First one was with Grandpa Dennis and Grandma Shiela at his property. The kids had a blast riding the ranger and four wheelers. Kelly even got on Dad's horse.( I was shocked!) It was great spending time with the family by the fire singing and laughing. Thanks everyone for a great time!

Then we were off to Idaho with Nana and Papa Bud for the Johnsen Reunion. Victor is a beautiful place and we have such wonderful memories there. We has alot of fun seeing all the family, playing games, eating and staying up late!
