Oquirhh Mountain Temple Open House 7/9

My kids have been so excited watching this temple be built and seeing the progress. We drive past it a ton going to cousin Ella's house and every time they see it my kids break into song "I love to see the temple". What a great opportunity for our area to be a part of this temple open house and dedication. We were glad that my Dad came with us to the open house. I hope he liked it! There is absolutely nothing in this world I cherish more than my eternal family!

4th of July

We were camping at Palisades so we all went into Manti and watched the fireworks from the lawn in front of the Manti Temple. It was a really good show for being such a small town, I think probably every town around there comes to Manti because I don't think that many people could possibly live there =)

I bought a few containers of glow bracelets to pass out to the kids and the had such a great time putting on a light show for us.

Hayes Family Reunion in Palisades 7/2-7/5

This year only the Deckers and Jones' came to the reunion but we still had fun!!! It is such a fun campground with the lake. The girls had so much fun with my cousin Taz's kids Leah and Presley. Can't wait till next year!!

The girls love riding their bikes around the campground. Dax (my cousin Ryan's little boy) and HunterDaddy and the girls could play in the sand all day

Hunter and Greg swimming together. Hunter loved this trip. Anything with water and he is in Dog Heaven!

Hunter Diving off the rocks. He would launch himself. We are going to enter him in a splash dogs competition up at Soldier Hollow this summer. He loves to jump and swim.

The Manti temple is so pretty. I found out that Greg's parent's were sealed in this temple, I had no idea.

Just Chillin'

Katie and Presley...both my kids couldnt get enough of this baby. I think they may be more baby hungry than me!

Cherry Picking 7/6/09

My mother-in-law's brother has the most amazing property in Orem. They have lots of cherry, apple, pear, plum trees. And a beautiful garden. Karma invited us down to pick cherries and my sister in law Julie and brother in law Tyler came with their kdis. It was a lot of fun, the kids just played with cousins and played in the huge yard. And we got so many cherries!! I made some yummy pies and froze the rest to enjoy later.

These are their raspberries, I am so JELOUS!!! I would love to have so much, you would always have enough for yourself and to share!
Greg's uncle built the cutest playhouse for his daughter nearly 40 years ago. And it is exactly what I want for my kids. It was perfect!
Brielle and her cousin Megan, who just barely turned 2, and is bigger than both my girls. Why won't my kids eat anything???

Its where fun Is... Lagoon 6/27/09

We made a plan to do our annual Cherry Hill camping trip with the Paris'. We went camping but Katie had a staff infection/rash all over her body and we didn't feel good about taking her to a water park where she could potentially spread it to other kids. So we took her to Lagoon instead. It ended up being lots of fun, and my mom and Grandma came with us.

This picture makes me laugh because Greg told us to stand in front of the fountains for a picture and didn't tell me we parked right over one of the jets, so right after this picture I was sprayed right in the face!

Fathers Day

Fathers Day was pretty relaxing, Greg and I came back home from Snowbird and picked the kids up at my dads. We hung out for a little while just enjoying his BeAUtIfUL new cabin. He just moved there a few weeks ago and now is living as a "mountain man".


Then we went to Greg's dad's for dinner. The kids and him were so exausted because of the long weekend that they all fell asleep on the couch!! How sweet! These girls really LOVE their dad.

I'll be back!
