South Dakota 2013

We made the long drive up to South Dakota and had a fun time, other than the car malfunction on the way home.  Thankfully a good samaritan stopped so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Hubby's newest skill is balloon making.  This is a princess for sister.
 Sparkler fun



 Mt Rushmore



 We had a minor tantrum because she needed to have a jacket tied around her waist like mommy.



 It rained a fair bit, which was a nice break from the heat we have been experiencing at home.  
She had fun playing in the rain.
Having so much fun is hard work!
We went swimming before we went to see fireworks and they had lots of fun!

Phew, I think we are mostly caught up.  Now I just need to get brother's birthday pictures off the camera... hopefully it won't take months.

Sealing

My baby brother, his wife and baby were sealed the end of June.  It was a beautiful ceremony.  Braxton was seriously an angel baby during the ceremony!

 With all his nieces and nephews (the sun was really bright!)




Family Reunion 2013

We went to the family reunion in Tremonton.  It was nice to see Nana and Papa again.  We were super nervous about how sister would do sleeping in the tent.  We had a dry run at our house the week before that ended up in tears and lost blankies and every one grumpy because it was so late :(  Thankfully she did wonderful!

S'more fun


 Paddling around with Nana and Papa in the scum pond

 Happy and cute in the sand box

 They randomly had an air plane ride that brother rode on for a while.
 Looking at mommy and baby horse

Misc

My mom hung onto this dress that I wore. One of these days I need to find the picture of me in it.
Baby at 12 weeks
Baby at 14 weeks
So yeah, selfies are hard, maybe one time I will be able to smile.  Also, I feel like I am too big for how far along I am.  And we are not finding out the baby's gender so get all your complaints out.....

Splash Pad Fun





*  I am posting these pictures to remind myself that my kids are okay and we did have some fun moments in spite of my laying on the couch too tired and sick to get up.....

Backyard summer fun






Daybreak Tri

Hubby's second tri.  This one was in open water and he was nervous about that, but he did good.  He has such a strong bike leg, he usually makes up for any time lost in the swim.





Bucky's graduation

She did it!
Sorry, it was blurry-dark and far away :-/

 My sisters/best friends/life savers, oldest to youngest
 The proud parents.  They've just got one more to go and then we are throwing them a graduation party for getting all seven of us through school!
