Jordon's Reception

Our most current Family Picture July 2009.

The girls watching the happy couple drive away in an old Model T.

While we were in Utah we were able to be there for my cousin Jordon's Wedding. She married Jayson a great guy and we couldn't be happier for them. Their reception was beautiful, we enjoyed the evening visiting with family. Wish I would have taken more pictures!

Love going to the Pool!

We loved going to the pool with cousins when we were in Utah. It was fun to watch them all play with eachother. They are all getting so big, the older cousins Megan, Brayden and Cambrie loved jumping off the high dive while the younger cousins Melanie, Addie, and Hailey like jumping in the pool and finding diving sticks! Jett the smallest cousin he too enjoyed his water time with dad...summer fun!

A Day At Temple Square

Meg and Bray at the SLC Temple

We spent an awesome day at Temple Square. We enjoyed every minute we were there! We were able to go through a tour at the Conference Center, see the Josepth Smith building, walk around the beautiful temple grounds, and tour the visitor center. The last time I took the girls Megan was just a toddler. So it was neat for her to see everything and watch how reverent and respectful she was. There is such a sweet spirit there my testimony grew as I was able to feel of the spirit and share that special day with my girls. Thank you Cheryl for being a great tour guide and thank you to Fred and Karen for a yummy lunch.

Happily coming down the mountian!

Uncle Ben took us on a hike up to Patsy's Mine. It was a fun hike, but also pretty challenging with 6 kids! Everyone was a good sport hiking in the heat. The kids loved the mine...cool, dark, and scarey! It was fun, Thanks Uncle Ben your the COOLEST!

Hanging out in Farmington!

Fun in the sprinklers!Fun at the Park!
Fun in the Sun!

We spent 2 weeks in Farmington Utah at Uncle Ben and Aunt Cheryl's house. Brooke drove up with the kids and I since Pete was working. We had fun in Farmington at the park, pool, and the dollar theatre! The kids especially loved just hanging out with cousins and playing! Cheryl and Ben have a big house with a big basement, and HUGE back yard with a creek behind them where the kids could play in the water. Thanks so much Uncle Ben and Aunt Cheryl for letting us come stay and play!

Golfer Jett

Here is Pete with his "boy" going to church on Sunday. Jett has been nick-named "Golfer Jett" at church and every time we are asked where is golf clubs are. Pete just tells people that I like playing dress-up with my baby boy...he's 100% correct...I truly do!

Happy 80th Grandpa Thomas!

On July 9th we celebrated my Grandpa Thomas's 80th Birthday. I can't tell you how much I love this man. I feel so lucky to have him as my grandfather who has taught me so much. He is so hard working and knows everything! I love sitting on the portch with him visiting about anything and everything. I love walking around and seeing his latest projects or "good deals".
I especially love to watch him with my girls on his "farm" or in his "garden". They too love and adore their grandpa T. Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Camp MERRILL...4th of July!

Trampoline Fun with Uncle Aaron.

"The Babies" Paisley, Lanie, and Jett.

We were formally invited to spend the 4th of July weekend in Pinetop. Everyone was able to make it (except for Uncle Tim who had to work and keep the roads safe). It was fun having everyone together for a fun weekend. Unable to accomidate everyone in the house we set up "Camp Merrill" the cousins thought it was cool to sleep in a tent in grandma and grandpa Merrill's front yard. We enjoyed the company and ate way too much good food.

Boating 2009

Playing at the beach!

Our boating trips this summer had new dynamics...BABIES! Luckily all our trips this year ended up with good cooler, overcast weather. Jett and Peyton were good sports! It worked out good we had walkie talkies and we would take turns between who was on the boat and who stayed at the beach with the kids. Megan is still trying to master the water skies, and Melanie now finally enjoys a fun tube ride...with Megan of course!
