Fall Soccer

Nash had a great team this fall. He smiles through the whole game:) and flirts a little with his teammate Ani.

The Fair

Our family enjoys the Fair when it comes around. The food, the rides, the, booths, the people, and the rodeo {sad we didn't even make it to the rodeo this year:(}.

 

Liv, Nash & Riah entered one of their art projects from Vicki Rhodes summer class. They loved seeing their pieces displayed and were so excited about the ribbons! A BIG thanks to Vicki, we will definitely keep participating in that! :)

They all did such a good job! Nash did the catapiller, Liv the fish, and Riah the butterfly.

Dancing with Avery at the bandstand.:)

No training wheels

Vacation with the Sisters

I am so glad that we were all able to take a weekend and spend it together playing on the lake!!

We had such a blast :) We went down to Bullhead, AZ and stayed at our grandma's vaca home, went boating to Lake Mohave like every day...it was HOT but perfect on the water! We were all pretty tuckered out by the end of each day from boating that we pretty much crashed at night.

We cruised over to Laughlin, NV for dinner at Salt Grass the last night there.
Such a good restaurant on the river..yum!

Thanks sisters, hubby's & cousins for such a fabulous weekend!

We enjoyed your company so much. Love you to pieces.

Swimming Lessons

Liv and Nash took swim lessons from Talana Stokes this year. They were over the top excited!

I wish I had a pool in my back yard...hmmm...

Bailey & Arnell Luncheon

My Grandparents & their close friends the Bailey's hosted a luncheon in their back yard the day after Suzie's wedding since everything could be left up and looked so gorgeous. It was fun to meet all of their friends that attended. They sure know how to through a nice party. I am glad I was able to take a few pictures of the party and share them with my gram.

I secretly wish I could have lived in their generation. Such a difference in mannerism. I wasn't surprised to hear this but am still amazed that my grandmother received a personal thank you in the mail from every guest after the party!!? Why does no one do this anymore.(including myself)  Now you're lucky to even get an RSVP back from your guests who may or may not be attending...am I right? It makes all the difference in my opinion. I hope to remember this the next time I am invited to a party, but I have to be honest what in the world will I be invited to any day soon?..ha:)

Grandma wanted to take a few shots of the family. We were missing a few people who had already left but I guess you take what you can get:)

Girls Day

Mom Bec Shel Suz & I went and got Pedi's for Suzies Wedding.

It was so fun to gab with the girls and get excited for the Big Day!

24th of July

We love to participate in the Bear River City Celebrations for Pioneer Day. We heart BR.

My amazing mom & Suzie helped all the kids decorate their bike for the parade the night before, I had planned on it but life through us a curve ball and Blake was in the hospital. So I only ventured out to watch them in the parade and take some pictures. Thanks so much mom & Suz, love you.

Here are some of the other floats and participants I caught a pic of.:)

Suzanne's Bridal Shower

We had such a fun time mingling at Suzie's shower with so many friends and family that were able to make it. Thanks so much Brittanny for all of the help planning and executing the party:)

Momma Jul's Birthday

We celebrated my mom's Birthday with the fam at her house tonight :) Grandma Derb made the famous 18 min cake, yum! It was so cute all of the kids wanted to blow out the candles so we lit them a few times. Livia set up a store full of grandma's things and sold them for real money. It was hilarious. I definitely cannot afford to even browse her store;) she thought she was rich!

Happy Birthday Mom. We love you.

Triple A All Star Game/Home Run Derby

For Fathers Day the kids gave Blake 4 tickets to the Triple A  All Star Game & Home Run Derby.

Here is us at the Home Run Derby.

 

And the All Star Game.

Nash & Liv got there face painting done before the game, they loved it! :)

We all had such a good time, so glad we got to go!

Bear Lake

We traveled up to Bear Lake for the day to play with the Kinney family. It was fun to meet some more of Blake's family and it was such a wonderful sunny day!! So glad we made it up even if we couldn't stay the whole weekend:)

Wolverines vs. Peaches

We enjoyed another great Peaches game tonight. Liv and Nash were so

excited Rachel was there to play with too :)

Last Tball Game

Both the kiddo's had a ball with Tball this summer! Way to go you two! :)

I was so glad to have them on the same team so we didn't have to schedule around two games a night. Thanks so much family for coming and supporting Liv & Nash! It means so much to have

everyone there to cheer them on!

Brigham City Fireworks

We went to the Brigham City Fireworks and Bec's family met us there on their way back to Vegas.

The kids had a blast with Jerz and each other.

I don't think I have ever been under all of the ash when I've gone in the past....it was awful, Blake even got hit in the head with a big piece of a firework! We must have picked the wrong place to sit and the wind was right in our direction.:( We will have to be more careful where we sit next time!

4th of July Weekend

The family headed up to the cabin for a fun filled weekend over the 4th of July.

Blake had to work and couldn't make it, so that was a bummer, and I was sick the whole first day with the flu. So it certainly wasn't all a joy. But after I recouped it was a ball to be with the family and enjoy the summer weather!

Mom came across this paddle boat and brought it up for the pond. It is a new favorite.

 

Zeke and I were buddies the first day and hung out inside.

Happy 4th!

 

Becca & Suz thought they were sooo funny and made Nash look like Pauli D.. Very funny girls:) as you can tell Nash loved the attention from his Aunties!

The next day we all went on a fun ride. So glad I was feeling better!

These two cute wanderers ... Zeke and Nix exploring.

Liv Nash Ri & I headed over to the South side of Bear Lake for the rest of the day to hang out with the Bowcutt's. We enjoyed swimming, the play ground & dinner. Thanks family!

That night we went back to the cabin to sleep and celebrated Suzies 21st Birthday :)

So happy we have this beautiful place to visit and make fun memories with the family!

Lagoon

We went to Nucor Lagoon day this year and had a blast! The kids rode rides all day long then we went to Lagoona beach for the afternoon. Thanks babe for the fun day.

Oh these two are the cutest little things!

Celebrating Blake's Birthday

We were gone on the honeymoon for Blake's Birthday so we celebrated with the kids when we got back. Liv and Nash were so excited for cake (even though I am not a baker and its boxed;))! Yum!
