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!)

AmericA's BirthdaY!

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!
