The Family who LIVED!!!

Love my little family who lived.  One day after the one day mark of our living anniversary, we had a friend take some pictures of us.  So glad I got one more year of their smiles, one more year of their laughs, one more year of their hugs, and even more year of their whining.  So grateful for forever families and grateful my whole family is still on this earth!

Farmington Festival Days & the cabin with Brooks and Katie

We love to go meet the Willey's on main street in Farmington for Farmington Festival Days parade.  the kids always get fun stuff and have a good time.  This year after the parade we headed up to our cabin with the Yates.  It was their first time there, but I think it is safe to say they will be coming again!

Since we knew we wouldn't be coming up to the cabin again before July 20th, we had Brooks take a picture at the sight of the accident.  So glad my family is all here to be in this picture.  (even if all were not happy to be having to take it!)

The Farr's at the Hyde's.  Grandma and Grandpa Hyde were absent, but who could resist using their wonderful yard for a 4th of July BBQ and firework show!   Fun times together!

Josie's first ballet recital!

Josie had her ballet recital on June 12 & 13!  She was so cute!  If you can't tell here she was a little mouse.  Her first night they forgot to take off her flip flops so she had them on on stage.  Good thing they were Grey!

We wanted to take our kids somewhere fun before John got busy with his new job.  It was one of our best family trips!  The kids really are such great hikers!  Although I didn't get any pictures of it they also loved the pool at the hotel! We will do this vacation many more times I'm sure...minus the getting lost on the way driving home!
