Summer fest and birthdays!

 

I know these pictures are  a little late, but it is this little girls birthday to day so I thought I better get the birthday pictures posted! While everyone was her we spent one of our days at Summer Fest. It was quite interesting with all of those kids but we split up the kids and then it was a little easier to go from booth to booth. We didn't stay long at each booth because attention spans were a little short.

Sofie thought this water feature was quite interesting though

 

We did stop when we saw the balloon lady and she and her helper made us some cute creations.

A parrot for Jaedon.

 

A butterfly for Livy, (she looks like she is afraid it is going to bite!)

 

And a flower for Sofia.

 

They liked the statues.

 

and decided that they were the same ages as the little children in the statues.

 

We decided to celebrate July birthdays because we have 5 birthdays in July and most of those we were celebrating live far away! Today is Sofia's birthday and she is 2! Happy birthday Sofia!

 

She loves babies, so of course she got a baby and a blanket.

 

Bryce's birthday is on July 1st and he is 4!!

 

Happy birthday Bryce!

 

Jaedon's birthday is on July 17th! Happy birthday Jaedon.

 

Layne's birthday is on July 22nd and he will be 8! We will get to see him at the end of this month when he will get baptized!

 

Isn't is great to be eight!

 

and here is Tydon and he looks like he is thinking,"And all I got was this little cupcake."

Happy Birthday all of you July birthdays, Grandma Shaw's was yesterday and Nate's will be at the end of this month! Hope you all have a great day!

Cache Valley Orchestra

This summer we have been able to attend 2 concerts by the Cache Valley orchestra. It has been fun because our favorite violin player is in the orchestra! Yes. Our very own Jessica is in these great productions and it has been so fun to go and listen to the spectacular music. I loved this one because Phantom of the Opera is just so fun to listen to.

Thanks Jessica for entertaining us this summer. WE Love to hear you play!

Make sure and go to the bottom of my blog and mute the music and then you will be able to enjoy this production.

 

After the patriotic concert on Sunday we went over to Jessica and Mac's to enjoy these festive red, white, and blue refreshments. They were beautiful to look at but equally delicious!

 

She even had sparklers on the table which were quickly used.

 

No we were not trying to start a forest fire. Open your eyes Kace!

It was a very fun evening.

Kelle and Ian's wedding

 

 I have so many pictures from the last few weeks that I decided to just do a post for each day. While everyone was here Kelle and Ian were married and it was a spectacular day!

 

We were all able to go with them to the temple and I loved how happy they were all day. It was great to see all of our family and what better day than a marriage day!

 

I don't think they stopped smiling all day.

 

We then traveled to Nancy and Jay's home for a great feast. The weather was perfect and it was so nice to be outside.

 

It was a little windy, sorry Rachel the wind came right at the wrong time.

 

That's better now we can see your face.

 

The little boys were entertained at the neighbors yard and we all enjoyed the delicious food.

 

Sofia loves Grandma Shaw, (I guess that would be great to her.)

 

Grandpa is still such a handsome man.

 

They let lots of white balloons go, and it was so beautiful going up in the blue sky.

 

McKenly entertained herself and had fun sitting on this little baby in his infant seat, (don't worry we saved the baby, but it was pretty funny watching her try to sit on top of this baby.)

 

Here is Kelle's beautiful wedding cake.

 

We had to have some pictures.

 

But of course it was hard to get everyone looking and smiling at the right time.

 

Yeah, we had to have some silly ones.

 

For some reason it is easier for these boys to cooperate with the silly ones, but if you ask me, I think most of our family pictures are pretty comical.

 

See, what did I tell you1

 

Hmm, kind of normal.

 

Sofia loved this baby and we had to hide it when we left because I am sure she would have taken it home.

 

Bye, Grandpa see you when we come again.

 

On our way home we stopped at Nate and Rachel's and Livy loved this cute bunny they have.  One of the boys put it this way, "You have a bunny? Wow, you are LUCKY!"

It was a fun day and we were all tired when we got home, but it was good tired after being able to see all of our loved ones.

Cousin's and Tangled

 

When the cousins get together you never no what will transpire.  We had all of the grand kids here this last week and it was a busy week with a full house. I loved it!

Kace came up and showed us what he had found in the play room. (I love the glasses!)

 

Sofia discovered her little cousin Trevor. (He loves her!)

 See how happy he is. He just looks at you and his face dissolves into this beautiful grin.

 

Sofia was thinking she wants one just like him. (She will get a new baby brother in a few months, and I am sure she is going to be a great mom to her brother.)

                                                       See how good she is going to be.

 

Livy found a friend in Jessica and since she wants to be Rapunzel, Jessica wrapped her hair with colorful threads.

 

I loved watching Livy as she watched Tangled, she really has that movie down word for word and if she doesn't think you are watching she becomes Rapunzel!

 

She is growing her hair so it will be as long as Rapunzel's.

 

I think even Sofia wants to be Rapunzel.

 

Livy, Livy, let down your long hair!

 

You're silly Grandma!
