Grandma, Grandpa, Liz and Court Coming to Celebrate Julia's Birthday!

On Saturday, we went up Huntington canyon, and then to Joe's Valley. For some reason I forgot to take my camera out of the car! So, I did not take any pictures of that! When we came home, we had Julia's birthday party. It was so fun having them come down and visit. Here are a few pictures of Julia:










I took these pictures right before we ate dinner the first night at the Greek Festival in our town! The food was great!

Fourth of July 2009

For the fourth of July weekend we went up to Ben's Dad's house. We all enjoyed spending time with all of the family members that could be there! The kids loved spending time with cousins! Here are some of the pictures:
The parade:
On the morning of the fourth, we went to the Clearfield parade! It was an awesome parade, and the kids enjoyed seeing the floats and horses!




Playing in Huntsville at Pineview:
We went up in the afternoon to Pineview Reservoir and had a picnic and played in the water.



The fireworks:
In the evening we watched the Clearfield city fireworks! My Mom bought the kids some glow necklaces a week ago, and so they really enjoyed playing with them while we waited for the fireworks to start.:

Lagoon is so much better with little kids!

Last week we went to Lagoon with my family and Ben's brother Stephen. It was so fun! At one point it started to pour rain, but instead of going home, we decided to wait it out under a pavillion! It was pure genious, because by the time it had stopped raining, a lot of the people had gone home. So, it was much easier to go on the rides that we wanted to go on! The kids were having so much fun the we ended up staying until 11:30 PM! Ben and I were so exhausted that we could barely drive the hour and a half up to my parent's house! It was so much fun! Here are some of the pictures that I took that day:









T-Ball!

This year the kids were so excited that Benson and Julia were going to be playing on the same T-Ball team! On the day of the first game they kept on saying, "We are on the same team! Yeah!" Everyone was very happy until Cecilia realised that she was not going to be playing. She was so happy when I told her that she actually was on the team, she is the team cheerleader. Anytime you talk to her about T-Ball she will inform you of her very important role!
Julia is playing for the first time this year!
This is Benson's second year of T-Ball, and he has enjoyed both years so much!
Benson had just hit the ball in this picture! He really loves to play. I can't decide if his favorite part is hitting or throwing the ball.

This picture is so fun because Julia really tries hard, but sometimes this is what happens when she comes up to bat!
