Lagoon in June

We went to Lagoon in June with most of my family. This Summer has been so crazy that I am just now posting pictures from it: Julia and her cousin Janie
Benson and his cousin Alton
She had a great day!
Benson on a dragon
The kids always love the train ride.
Waiting in line for the squid octopus ride.
Cecilia loved the boat ride, she went on it a lot. It was funny because this is the first year that Benson thought it was a boring ride. He must be growing up!
Beep! Beep! Here we come!
A nice trip around the track.
The last ride of the night!! They had to pretty much kick us out after this ride!

Camping

We went camping with my entire family at the beginning of June. My kids loved playing with their cousins from my side of the family. We went up Logan canyon to our favorite group site. Benson and his cousin Alton.

Leonard's Blessing

Here are some pictures of my family on the day of my Nephew, Leonard's baby blessing. It was an awesome day, it was so neat that all of my family could be there. These pictures were taken the begining of June. Rise and shine!

Kelly


My sister Kelly graduated from Utah State with a degree in Elementary Education. I am trying to play catch up on my posts! So, I finally posted this picture. She has already moved to Arizona and is starting her new teaching job tomorrow!

I Miss Kim!


I really miss Kim now that she is on her mission, but I know that she is where she is supposed to be! It is so fun to be able to read her letters and know how happy she is! A neat thing is that she is going to be coming home next January. She will be coming home just in time to see Benson be baptized!

Very Belated.....but Happy Birthday!

Benson had his six year old birthday January 8th, but I did not take any pictures. I was so busy running a birthday party that my Mom was the one who took all of the pictures for me. I finally was able to get some copies from her! Benson wanted to have a Scooby Doo party. After the kids showed up a Mummy stole all of the birthday presents. They had to follow the clues to find the presents. Each clue had a game with it! I made this Scooby Snack pinata!
My parents brought this jump house with balls in it. The kids loved it!

The girls with their brother.
They all loved throwing the balls up at the ceiling to see if they could get the balloons to fall off of the ceiling.
Grandpa and Julia

Playing a game
The kids all loved the pinata

My sister and Julia
Everybody was able to hit the pinata at least twice! It was so thick that Ben and my brother in law finally had to smash it open!
Pin the food on Shaggy
They had a mummy making contest!
The cupcakes were supposed to look like scooby's foot prints!
Make a wish!
They played a game with the presents where when they passed the presents around the circle and when the music stopped whichever present he was holding he opened!
He recieved a lot of fun presents.
They played shaggy, shaggy, scooby.
My parents brought their jump house! We had to move the furniture out of the living room, but the kids had a ton of fun! So, it was worth the effort of bringing it down.
There is my birthday boy!
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
Cute girl at the end of a long day!
