Cousins

Hyrum, Rex, and Lyle spent a few days in heaven---Taneil's house,

playing with cousins and staying up late.  One night they camped out.

Libby came to stay here one night.  Sariah said she was kicking so much that by 5am Sariah was up making breakfast.  They had fun making a fort out of all the BIG boxes that came with James's car parts.

When she was here, Libby tied her shoes on her own for the first time. 

Damon had taught her most of the process.

Talmage and Bryant climbed Mt. Adams this week!! Wow!! 

 James got them a little treat and Sariah made a fun little tag.

Summit!!!

Lyle and Rex memorized the 10th Article of Faith and got a tootsie pop.  They decided to see how many licks it takes to get to the center.

Summertime

4th of July

Waiting for the Parade

The highlight was Makaley on the Junior Miss Float. 

(And Damon leading the way.)

Candy!  Candy!  Candy!

And Water, lots of water.

BBQ at Aunt Brenda's.  Hyrum loved her kitten.

And Talmage loved his nap.

Lakehouse

Despite it being right in the middle of raspberry season,

we went to Ivan and Terri's Lakehouse July 1-3.

Sariah taking Libby and Gigi on the paddle board.

Lyle on the dock.  It wasn't super warm but it didn't stop kiddos from being in the water.

Sariah pulling Pryor

Rex cheering on the 3 Amigos on the tube.

Rex and Lyle tubing.

Sariah taking the little girls on the tube.

Sariah and Hyrum catching some air.

I think everyone loves the Lakehouse because it is so relaxing.

Hyrum kickin' back in the swing.  There was  A LOT of microwave popcorn eaten!

Rex and Lyle on the paddle boards.

Uncle Vard and his side by side were a big hit.

These two showed up with the same sleeveless shirt to show off their muscles.

Festive evenings.  I think that's Makaley playing the guitar in the background.  Talmage stayed at the homefront to work.

Sparklers and dancing.

On the last day, Rex got up on skis!

And so did Sariah!

Memorable moments.

Yeah for family!
