The Fourth of July

Liv didn't know how to hold the flag :)

We love the U.S.A.!

Hooray!

Proud to be Americans!

Sparklers!

Cheese!

Cache Valley Cruisin'!

I took a picture of some of our favorites...

a white mustang, with a blue stripe

a mater-like truck

Bumblebee, zoom in and you can see the Autobots symbol

the delorian

Kit, from Night Rider

some monster trucks

got some Porches for my Dad :)

Herbie :)

We had a lot of fun and the boys really enjoyed it!

Swimming fun...

We got to go swimming at my cousin's community pool.

Livy is ready to dive in!

If you look closely at Caleb, you can see his purple ring around his mouth.  He had a lot of fun with a gatorade bottle, and had a bruise for a few days :0)

Bittersweet memories...

This was the first time I had been to my Dad's grave since he passed away.

It was also the first time to see the headstone.

It was really hard to see, usually being out away from my parents it was easy to forget that he wasn't still here.  Then you see the dates on there and it hits you.  It's still really hard.  When I think about him, I have a huge ache in my heart.  I love and miss you Dad!

Raindrops keep falling on my head

It rained while we were at my Mom's house, Livy couldn't quite figure out what to do with the umbrella.

But she sure was stylin in her new rain boots!

Isn't she so cute? :)

50th Wedding celebration....

My in laws just celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary, so we got together for a temple trip, pictures, and a nice dinner.  It's hard to get 10 kids and their spouses together at one time, in one place :)

We met at the Salt Lake Temple for a session, while we were there, Nate was able to go through for my Dad, it was the most emotional session so far in my life.

The kids also put together an open house for them.  It was a great party, this was the part where they gave them the memory book that Nate put together.

We got even more pictures while we were at the open house, there were better pics taken and I will most likely post them when I get some copies.

Fun riding a train and the children's museum....

Hannah was super excited to ride the "Dinosaur train"

Dad and Caleb

Hannah and Olivia

Grandma and Grandpa and Kylan

Mom, Hannah, and Olivia

The Museum had a cute store with tiny shopping carts

Hannah shopped til she dropped :)

Kylan stayed in this section for a long time, he worked hard on this.

Building with a friend

Livy wouldn't look at me for any pics, this is what I got

There was also a play house with a cute kitchen

There were also giant legos, they were a lot of fun.

We had a great time and would definately recommend that if you are in the Salt Lake area, you take your kids to the Discovery Children's Museum.
