Callie as a pirate


Now that I understand how to really add pictures, I decided to add a silly one of Callie as a test run. It's pretty easy to find Callie in a silly picture. Her imagination NEVER stops. This particular day, she had a bit of help though. I had left the kids home while I did some errands. I came home to Callie as a pirate. I thought her sister Audrey had done a pretty good job on her and it kept Callie busy playing for hours!

We love to decor for fall, so we broke out the loot this weekend. The kids and I decided our front porch needed a scarecrow. so "Sarah" was born!

"FOURTH OF JULY"

We love the 4th of July. It is probably my favorite? Maybe!!! I just love all holidays really. But the 4th is right up there. Watermellon, kids decked out in red, white and blue and tons of patriotism. Celebrating and living our independence is such a gift!!! I want my children to know this and feel this deep down in their bones, so we celebrate!!! We usually attend our small community parade, kids parade, festivities and fireworks. We also share a "bbq" with my sister and have our own firework show with her. After all this, we usually head home and end the evening by sitting on the front porch and listen to the neighbors fireworks explode in the distance. We had a great fourth this year. I added a few pictures to enjoy!!

We have a wonderful "small town" parade in our community for the 4th of July. Before the official parade begins, the kids get to ride their bikes on the parade route. Callie did super this year riding with her brother and sisters. Her bike was quiet a work of art.

Orson wore his shorts over his pants for a very good reason! He was in such a hurry to get up to camp after work, he was not paying much attention to which pants he was grabbing. Unfortunatly, the D.I. pile was mistaken for his clean laundry pile. Being unaware of the giant rip in his backside, he threw on the pants he found and headed to the camp, stopping at a few locations along the way. The store, the gas station, ect...entering the said locations, very exposed! Still unaware of his situation he arived at camp and began to expose us. After I contained my laughter, I filled him in on the joke. Thus, his shorts over his pants. Talk about breezey!!!

We love the Uintas. We had a great time this year at Lost and Lilly Lake. It is so serine and beautiful. The kids fished with their dad every chance they had.

Ashley caught a fish, but was very funny about the whole thing. She didn't even want a picture with the "icky fish".

"Orson and the sleeping bag"

"Orson and the sleeping bag"
He's a great guy, but he can't fold a sleeping bag to save his life. We all made an assembly line to pack. Mom's such and organized freek, if it wasn't packed or folded or roled good, it got sent back down the line for him to redue.It was all quiet hilarious and fun. Dad was a real good sport about being made fun of. Oh, and we did this all in the pouring rain, which added to the fun of it all.

Orson brought his magnesium flint and taught all of us how to start a fire with it. It took some doing, but we all were able to do it!!!

Audrey was leary about suiting up and getting in the lake. Although she done it before...we have to convince her a bit that the last time she did it, she had fun.
