July 2011

July was even busier than June! We started the month off by heading up to the cabin!
What a cute family!
Walking in the freezing water!
A game of Go Fish!
Ping Pong!
Bike rides!
Moth catching!
Crafts!
Paintball!
Petting the horses!
We love the cabin! We always have so much fun with our cousins!
For the 4th of July we went to watch the fireworks in Sandy and then came home and did a few in our driveway.
Front seats for the show!
Around the middle of the month Hannah & I went to St. George with our good friends Barbara & Enya Banks for a little mother/daughter time. We stayed at Barb's condo, ate out, saw the little Mermaid at Tuacahn, went swimming & shopping and had a blast!
2 girls!
A yummy dinner at the Pasta Factory!
Hannah & Enya both have the Rebecca American Girl doll and she just had to come along on the trip!
Such a beautiful place!
So the really bummer part of our trip is that about a quarter of the way into the play it started to rain! Pouring buckets of rain! They canceled the show & we got our money back but we didn't get to see the whole thing! We were so disappointed! Maybe we'll try and go back in October?!?

But all in all it was a fabulous time with fabulous friends!

In July our Primary did a talent show! Nick told some jokes! He is hilarious!

What does a cop arrest pigs with? Ham-cuffs!

Where does a horse live? In a "neigh" borhood!

Hannah displayed some beautiful artwork!
What talented kiddos!
We had such fun doing it last summer that we decided to visit our good friends the Howells in Herriman and go to the lake! Annika and Hannah had fun swimming and burying each other in the sand!
Nick and Landon had fun together too!
Jack liked the sand and played with Luke! I just didn't get a pic! Thanks Howell family! We love having you guys as friends!
One Sunday afternoon we decided to beat the heat and head up the canyons for a little hike & picnic. The lake at Snowbird is so beautiful and there is a boardwalk around most of it so even little hikers can navigate it easily!
Lastly Nana invited us to Liberty park to ride the rides, have a picnic and play in the water there! Cousin Christin and Aunt Amanda came along! It was fun! My kids didn't want to leave!
3 amigos on a Ferris wheel!
Jack loved the plane! That is his "cheese" pose!
There is a cool water feature that the kids can play in representing the 7 canyons in Utah! It is unique and fun! They really enjoyed themselves!
Okay July, you about did us in! Let's see what August brings.....

You guys are seriously the cutest! July looked even better than June, I didn't think that was possible! I'm so bummed for you and Hannah that you didn't get to see The Little Mermaid in St. George, I've never seen it, but I've heard it's fantastic. Hopefully you guys will be able to try that again. We sure miss you guys ... can't wait to see you next month!

Wow, that is a lot of fun to cram into 2 months. I am jealous that you blogged it all and I have not done it yet. We sure do love your family and love the time we get to hang out with you. Hope to see you again soon!

Looks like you've had a good summer. I can't believe it's over and the kids are back to school. Seeing you and Barb in St. George makes me miss you guys:( You've been such great friends to me and we have had some fun times!
