Busy July

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY KATELYN

I'll start with Kate's 1st birthday. . .we celebrated it July 24th because we got home from pioneer trek on her real birthday--July 22nd! And yes, she did enjoy the cake!!

She was super tired--we went to the carnival just before, so she was done!

About to fall asleep!


Belle, Taylin, and Brad--before Belle screamed her head off the entire ride!!

Us at the carnival.

Green snow cones!!

We filled the pool up for Kate's birthday--can you guess who thinks she owns the pool??

Random pics:


Pioneer Trek--July 19th-22nd
Very hot, dusty, but a good experience.
Tyler: 0 mosquito bites Anne: 55 plus mosquito bites, (mostly on my face, and left arm!!)


Here's our family after we played some life games


We are missing one kid here

Our family of 12

Before we left--nice and clean!!
These next few pics are from East Canyon, where we spent the week after the 24th. I forgot to move all the pics to the computer, so there wasn't much I could take!!

My big girl-Belle--floats on her back now!! It took a lot to get to this point!!





Bradley skiing with Tyler for the first time! I was about to get in when I chickened out. Brad said, "It's okay, you don't have to if you don't want to"

I can't believe I'm putting this next pic up, but I am so excited that I found a way to not cry while cutting onions!! I will loosen them next time, they are pretty snug!

I know it's beautiful!!

by the way, i heard if you put your onion in the freezer for 20 mins you dont cry..i have never tried it, but it might be worth a shot..
