24th of July........

For the 24th of July, we went to Pine Lake with the Stafford family! We got some silly pictures of the kids....every year we get a camping picture and Donna wants to start hanging them in her trailer. It is fun to see how much everyone changes in just 1 year!

We had smores and of course the kids love the camp fire.....Maggie just snuggled up to Bud, it was pretty funny!!

Dawson had a little "accident" so this is how he washed off.......

Mead loves Maggie.....she was so excited that the dog was coming. She told all of my neighbors and my mom that her dog Maggie was coming camping with us.

Playing around and watching movies in the trailer!

The Stafford Boys......gotta love Buds hat, my Grandma made it for him!!

Aiden found a new best friend while we were there!!

Meah checking things out in the tackle box.

We had NO LUCK fishing....Brooks thought that he got a bite, but it was a big thing of moss.......

Chantry and Mom........

The kids made spiders out of ding dongs and then ate them.

We also had a fun time making different things with playdough!

We all went to Bryce Canyon one day and found out that all of our kids are lazy.......we barley started up the trail and they were already asking for water and snacks! We ended up just going to 2 different lookout points......next year we will be more prepared and so will the kids!

My dad about had a heart attack when he saw this picture......but isn't it beautiful!!!!

The Stafford Gang.......Thanks for such a fun 24th of July!!

StAfFoRd CoUsInS........

The Stafford's came to visit and we decided to get the slide out, eat pizza and hang out for awhile!!! The kids had fun and it nice for the kids to get to know each other better since we never get to see them. They live in Colorado Springs and they have lived in a couple different places while going through dental school, so it is fun when they are able to visit!

Meah and Dawson were so funny together, even though Meah calls him "Austin" and she calls Aiden "that other boy!" haha.....we get to spend more time together over the 24th of July, we are all going camping....it will be a lot of fun!!

4th of JULY!!!!

We did fireworks in my parents backyard this year.......there are just to many weirdos at the park these days!!! Justin always puts on a great show!!

The kids swam all day......and the night before the 4th we ALL slept outside on my parents back lawn and had an outdoor movie it was so much fun, maybe a little hot but still fun!!!

who's weird kids are those????

Elle loves her aunt Rae Rae........

Brooks in a picture WITHOUT his middle finger....YAY!!

The gang.......

We were all so happy that the Eudis' could join in on all of the fun!!

GIRLS+9=CrAzY

We finally had Sairee's "friend" birthday today.......her birthday was actually June 15th!! We have been so busy this summer and haven't been home much, so we finally got around to it. I took the girls to my dad's hair school and they got their hair and nails done.(yes I know that my pictures are backwards....I loaded them wrong, so the hair school stuff is last)

Thanks for letting us come Grandpa! And thanks for the cupcakes Nana Lisa!! Kasse makes the cutest hair clips, so we gave those as their thank yous!!

We came back to the house and had games and opened presents......

AWWWWW aren't they all so cute..........

All of the girls with their cute hair and getting their nails done......

While they were getting their hair done, they all got a bag of popcorn and suckers....

The students did such a GREAT job and the girls had a blast!!

CUTE GIRLY'S!!!

SURPRISE!!!!!

Well I am finally getting these pictures on here!!! I got home from girls camp on Saturday 27th, and Randi was also getting into town that day.....shhhhhhh! Justin went to Vegas and picked up Randi, Aaron and the kids. They HID at Justin's house until Sunday! Dad decided that it would be easiest if we just took mom out to Golden Coral......not the best place, but the best place with lots of little kids!! We all sat down.....and then Randi and her family walked in and mom was surprised(top right hand picture.) In the bottom picture you will see mom trying to catch something in her mouth that the boys were throwing at her...hahaha

Im not sure if I have ever taken a NORMAL picture of Justin!!

After eating, we went to this splash pad/park and Brooks helped Mom cool off!!!

Me and my baby sis!!

Look how red their little cheeks are!!!

In this top left corner, Mike had spun Meah and she was sooooo dizzy that she couldn't even walk!! There were alot of fun toys there!!

Randi and I had to try out this awesome swing thing......it was sweet!!

More fun toys.......

Grandpa and Branson trying out the swing.......

The boys wanted to get Mike really dizzy!!!

Nana and Branson......

Little Buddies!!

Randi started with Taya and then Meah and Elle wanted a turn......Im surprised that she didn't lose everything that she had just eaten!!

This kids loved it when Grandpa spun them around!!

Well we had a lot of fun and we were so excited that Randi and her family could come and be here for mom's birthday celebration!!

Girls Camp......MY STYLE!!!

CABINS THIS YEAR!!!! I'm not sure if you can really call this girls camp.....more like girls get-away!!

This cannot be girls camp!! When I was in young womens, this NEVER happened!! Last year we roughed it on Cedar mountain. I guess now they do every other year with the stake so on the year that it is ward only, you can do whatever is in your budget!!!

Chillin in the hot tub and pool!!

Even us leaders tried out the slide!!

Don't worry it wasn't all play....we did go on a 5 mile hike!! This is just some of us waiting for everyone to get there!!

We stopped for some lunch and Sis. Mckenna (our YW Pres.) told a pretty funny story and I got some good pictures of the leaders laughing over it!!!

We also had a great testimony night.......we had reserved a fire pit, so we had smores and roasted starbursts then we finished it off with a great testimony meeting!! It was really neat, we had two girls come to camp that are not very active and they both shared their testimonies and they were so sweet.

On the last day, the leaders got a little crazy and took some funny pictures....we had a ton of fun in the leaders cabin! We also had a night that we did skits and they turned out sooooo funny. I got some good pictures, but I see that they are not on here and I know that I uploaded them....oh well my computer was taking forever today so Im not going to worry about it!
