SLC Summer 2012

After our week in Las Vegas, we hit the road and went to SLC to visit my family. We spend two fun filled weeks with my family and friends. We were able to do a ton of fun activities including Lagoon Amusement Park and Lagoon a Beach Water Park. Fourth of July Festivities, a trip to McCall, Idaho to visit my Aunt Judy and Uncle Carl's cabin for a few days. We went out to dinner multiple times, shopping, had tons of great home-cooked food and lots of sleepovers at Jim and Shelley's house. I don't even know how many times I packed and unpacked our suitcases in the three weeks we were gone but it was worth it!

Family Reunion LAS VEGAS, Summer 2012

At "Flipping Out" with Skylar. Even Aunt Jamie and Aunt Jill jumped on the trampolines. Jackson is fearless. He LOVED the enormous slides. Jamie's friend Jenica invited the whole family for dinner, swimming and horesback riding. So much fun! What a brave friend! Family Bowling Tournament. I think Rachel got the award for the most gutter balls. It was her first try bowling without the bumpers. Aunt Jill and Tanner who is now taller than me. Grandma and her "Mini-Me" The guys, bowling. I remember each of these youne men when they were the same age as the baby Tanner has in his arms. Wow, I'm old. Baby Greyson. The youngest member of the family, and also the most popular. Cousins, Rachel and Beckah Aunt Jamie and cousin Mackenzie, bowling Grandpa, trying to wrangle all the kids to take their turns bowling. Diet Coke at Circle K, a daily trip. Outside Yougurtland, I don't even remember how many times we went there during the week, 3, 4, 5? My memory is a little fuzzy and it was HOT. Jackson at In N Out Allie and Kyle at Krispy Kreme, did I mention that we ate a lot? Kyle and Jackson at Krispy Kreme. They were fascinated watching the doughnut conveyor belt. Lance's parents hosted a Family Reunion this summer at the Southpoint Resort in Las Vegas. Each family had their own room and we spend the days hanging out and doing fun activities with everyone. We had fun swimming, horseback riding, going to the trampoline place, eating pancakes, ice cream and tons of yummy food, bowling, seeing Brave, and playing with cousins. We each had such a fun time. My kids are still talking about it. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Rachel Graduates from 6th Grade

In our school district, 6th graders stay in elementary school. Rachel had her graduation yesterday. She won a presidential award for academic excellence. We are so happy that she loves school and tries her best. Rachel and her partner in crime, Julianna Rachel and her "friend" Ethan. Rachel and her teacher Mr. McGroary. She had such a great year in his class. She would say "Mr. McGroary says...." constantly at home. She really loved her 6th grade year. Rachel with her dad. Rachel with me, uncomfortable because I actually had my arm around her. Silliness with Jackson.
