July Fourth and beyond

We have been loving summer and all the fun things we've been able to do! I'll spare you all the 200 pictures I have from this past week and only post a few.

The morning of the fourth we went to the Rexburg parade with some friends. We weren't able to get any shade, so we fried, but had great seats! Isaac was interested for about the first 5 minutes and was done after that and napped. I think the best part was when the big tank sprayed water on everyone!

We drove to Utah that afternoon and met up with family in Brigham City to watch the fireworks. We hung around and ate dinner and waited and waited and waited (with 7 kids there, it took forever!). Isaac and Cameron (above) did great for seeing them for the first time. Isaac actually got a little bored toward the end, but was entertained most of the time.

Saturday we packed up and headed to Bear Lake! I miss the beach back home, and this was a decent substitute. Isaac loved to eat the sand and didn't love the cold water. It was nice to just sit back and enjoy no work, homework, or school and hang out with our family! The weather was perfect and not one of us got burnt (great considering there are 5 red heads!).

These girls were so fun to watch! They followed eachother everywhere, most of the time laughing and playing!

Getting ready to head out, but not without a family picture!

Cory and Tay riding gpas bike

Sunday was just a day of eating and resting. Most of us were sick or getting over it, so it wasn't a very eventful day. Cory had to go back to Rexburg that night because of work and school, but Isaac and I got to stay down and play!

The rest of my days are a blur and I don't know what happened when. We all got our toes painted and done, and the little girls thought that was pretty fun.

Rockstar Tay had a Hannah Montana birthday party! She's six going on 18. Lots of dancing, singing, crying, baloons, cake and apparently not enough presents (according to her).

The fan club.

We had a couple of bbq's during the week. Isaac enjoying some porkchops.

Grandma called up her cute old friend who took us on a fun buggy ride around Tremonton. The kids went crazy! Isaac's take on it: woopdie do.

And last but not least, Isaac's new trick. He's almost crawling, but for now I guess he'd rather work on his muscles.

P.S. Happy One Year Anniversary to our blog on July 9th! I thought it'd be fun to reminisce...{Click here to see it!}
