Fourth of July weekend

JULY 4th

For the fourth of July weekend Riley

spent most of her time playing with babies.

Mason was more happy then usual

and Riley got to hold him as well. 

She gave Jace a few rides in the stroller 

around the cabin. 

Us mom's are lucky to have Riley 

around.  She is are in house baby sitter! 

Are good friends Mike and Chalyse Hall

were visiting from Texas at their Bear Lake 

Cabin and had us over to visit.  The kids

shot off their rockets they made.

And then we sat on the deck eating dessert for

Mike's birthday.  

JULY 5th

The next day at the beach Sierra was ready to ski.  

So far Sierra has not shown any fear of skiing and

would go over and over again if we let her. 

For how busy it was on the beach I was surprised

to get a picture of Brandon and Owen and no

one else.  Owen loves the beach and has so much

fun every time we go. 

Later at the cabin we celebrated Grandpa's birthday.

The grandkids sat by him as we sang and then helped

him blow out the candles. 

Bob is such a great dad and amazing Grandpa!

We are so blessed to have him and his influence

in our lives. 

We Love you Bob!

Happy Birthday! 

Right before bed Grandma and Grandpa

gave us all souvenirs from their trip. 

Owen thought his Moose was funny.  

All the girls got these cute wooden

dolls that have the smaller ones inside.  

JULY 6th

Paige was still nervous and said no to skiing until

the next day on the beach when we had our friends

the Raymonds, Birds and Halls up skiing. 

She gave it another try and did great! 

We left the beach early this day to

head down to the Usana Amphitheater for 

the Man in the Moon production by Glen Beck.

My mom bought us all tickets.  Unfortunately

is was windy and rainy all evening but

with our tarps and blankets it turned out okay. 

It did not start until 9:30 which is past my kids

bed time but they all hung in there and had a good

time.  I was surprised that Riley and Paige

followed the story line and knew what was

going on.   Sierra cuddled with grandma the entire

time and Owen snuggled with Brandon. 

Towards the end Paige laid down and closed her

eyes and then Riley did the same.  I woke them

up for the fireworks at the end though. 

I'm glad we decided to bring Owen.  I was going

to leave him with Grandma Gardner at the cabin

because I thought he would not sit still.  But he did

great.  Maybe it was because it was cold and rainy

or because it was very late but he sat with Brandon

and watched longer then the girls did.  The last

15 minutes or so he laid down on the pillow. 

It was a good ending to a great weekend with family.
