Cheyenne/B Family Reunion

KC's parents were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and we celebrated by getting the whole family together.  We had activities planned for each day.  And we all had such a good time!

One of the nights we watched a slide show of various pictures from their wedding.  Here are just a couple.

On Friday we went the Buffalo Ranch and went on a tour.

 This is the wonderful couple that brought us all together.  Grandma and Grandpa we love you!!!

 KC and I

 Tucker and Julie

 Cary and Becky

 After the tour we went to Little America and had some ice cream.

 The teenagers always have to be crazy!




All of the "adults" or maybe we should say children and spouses of Grandma and Grandpa went out to dinner so we could have a chance to talk without kids.  All of us pitched in to give them an anniversary present.  We gave them a remodel on their patio.  Well more like re-doing the floor.  We thought this would be a good present since it is the gathering place for so many activities.

 While we were gone to dinner..... C was directing a movie.  All of the grand-kids made a fun movie for grandma and grandpa.  And K did some face painting.

 When we got back we watched some slides of grandma and grandpa.  Fun times!!

The next day was family picture day!  Nothing else needs to be said...

 We also rented a trolley to take us around Cheyenne and give us a tour of places of interest to the family.  We visited previous homes, schools, etc.

 The only problem was that at the back of the trolley it was so hot that we were almost passing out!

 We had a small party for grandma and grandpa.  The cake has their original topper from 50 years ago and flowers from KC and mine wedding cake from 21 years

 K was modeling grandma's dress and C was modeling Perianne's dress.

 The men singing "Let me call you sweetheart"

 Jarett's bir

It was a wonderful, fun, busy week and we enjoyed every minute of it.  Family... isn't it the best?

First half of July

 C loves making movies.  So all of the cousins (especially the younger ones) always come up to her and ask her to film.  She is so good at it!

This is at the city's 4th of July parade!  Z was working hard face painting and so we had the kids.  It was fun since CR, S, and C were in the parade so this gave us a few more kids to have fun with.  

 CR was in the parade with his gymnastics team.

 C & S were in the parade with the Dance Company.  They were in the wet portion of the parade!

 My Birthday celebration! KC made me an ice cream cake with homemade ice cream!  It was delicious!

 And then while I was opening presents G got a hold of my camera and took a few random pictures so here are just a couple of them.

 My actual birthday was on Wednesday night.  Only the night that I have class and that everyone else has youth activities.  But the good thing was that K was coming home because we were leaving for Cheyenne the next day.  So wonderful K brought me cupcakes for us to have when I got home!  K is so sweet and such a homemaker now!

This is CR dressed up as a 50's cool dude for Decades Day at the school.  Doesn't he look so handsome??

CR's 6th Grade Graduation

Swimming Lessons at Surf & Swim

Ballet Recital.  This is C's class.  Cast A

This is S's class.  Cast B.  They danced to the same music but the dances were different.  C is one level above S but because there are two casts they each dance separetly.  Great for the parents!  We get to go see the performances twice.

Father's Day.  Three great fathers!

And my Papi

We were lucky to have all of these kids at our house for Father's Day! They love taking pictures!

Manti Pagent

The Manti Temple

The Princess Festival

Preschool field trip to the Zoo

G's half birthday! We decided to always celebrate her half birthday as a family since her birthday is so close to Christmas and everyone needs presents twice a year not just once!  Except we don't know what we have created but since she was celebrating her 4th birthday again she added another 4 to 4 = 44.  So she now says she is 44 years old.  She does know that in December she will turn 5 so we just have to go through half a year with a 44 year old at our house.

CR's 12th Birthday

My one and only son is now 12 years old!  He is growing up so fast. 

Oh, how G loves her big brother.  She had to be right there with him when he opened his presents.

The cake he requested was Calvin and Hobbs.  His favorite comics of all time.  I don't know if this is good or bad?  It's good that he likes to read but what mischief does he learn from those comics???

And of course celebrating with his birthday buddy cousin Shayden.

CR requested that we go to the book festival in Provo for his birthday!  So that's what we did with the cousins and then we got to see K.

 This is my 12 year old Deacon.  It is great to have another priesthood holder in our home!  He is such a good example to us.  We are blessed to have him in our family!
