Dirty Feet!

Don't you love summertime and sandals, Brielle was crawling into bed one night after a day of playing outside with sandals on, and when I saw her feet I about died!

Off to the sink to wash up!! 

4th of July

The Parade

Madison

Brielle and Cadence

Dakota

Dakota had fun doing the target shooting in the park

Brielle and Dakota both got hermit crabs from a booth in the park

Brielle and Madison at the fire works, this year was Madisons first time at the fireworks and she liked them

We had a really fun 4th of July! I always look forward to the 4th I loved to see old friends, go to the parade and the park, and we usually always have a BBQ in Flowell or in Kanosh, and of course we always end the day with fireworks!

Brunson Reunion

This year for Brunson Reunion we went up tp Flaming Gorge. We had a luau on saturday night and we were all supposed to wear a Hawaiin shirt so our family all tie died shirts to wear that night.

The little girls all got grass skirts and flowers for their hair

Brielle made sure that even Madison was dressed up

My Uncle Ron even roasted a pig in the ground for it.

And what is a Luau without the Limbo!

My Birthday was while I was up there and for my gift Brielle made me some tickets to give all of my friends so that they could come watch a show ( her dancing). So I gave out all my tickets and she performed for us by the fire. She is so thoughtful!

Our Family loves to go camping, so we packed up our kids and the trailer one friday after Mike got off work and went camping up Kanosh canyon

Mike took the kids fishing the next morning, and they both caught one.

After fishing we went hiking and exploring for a couple hours. We caught a snake,(supprisingly  we didn't see any rattlesnakes this time), and some lizards, and tried to catch a lepord frog but we were unsuccessful, not my favorite thing to do but the kids think they are cool.

Kanosh Canyon has so many pretty places it was fun taking the kids on top and showing them some of those places

Getting bigger!

Maddy's first attempt to use a bowl and spoon by herself!

Memorial Day Weekend

Mike went on a horse ride with a bunch of his friends up Dry Creek by Meadow, and he had a lot of fun. He really loves going on those rides, and what a good break after working hard all week!

We went up Kanosh canyon on monday with Mikes family for a Memorial Day Picnic, my kids were playing in this tree and Brielle asked me to come take a picture of her climbing her first tree. It was a cool tree and was great for taking pictures in!

Sally where were you when we needed you, look at screaming Maddy and where is Dakota looking???

On saturday we had a BBQ at my parents house, Maddy enjoyed eating a cookie there, as you can tell from the evidence on her face. And we rented a big blow up slide that the kids LoVeD!!

Brielle had a blast and went down it million times, and so did my biggest kids Mike!!

This was the one and only time Dakota dared go down after that he would just climb up a little ways and go down from not as high. It was really high though when I went down it for the first time I understood why he was so scared! I do have to say though I was the only mom who dared go down it upside down and backwards!!

New Baby Horse!

Our family all got to watch the birth of Melissa and Shawns baby horse last week! We have all been watching the horse really close lately hoping to be able to see the baby be born, which we are very lucky that we were able to because most of them are born at night. Nature is so amazing she has never had a baby before but as soon as it was born she instinctively knew everything that she needed to do, right after it was born she touched noses with it and mumbled a low mumble it was so cute!
This is the baby a few minutes after it was born and she is trying to nudge it to get up. The baby was a girl and her name is Liberty or Libby for short.

This is the kids all bundled up after we came inside, everyone watched the birth even Maddy!

Dakotas Joyschool Graduation

Great job Dakota! Dakota, Layton Sagers, and Logan Bailey did joy school together this year, and he just had his graduation. Kids are so funny at this age Dakota and Layton both cried when they were supposed to come out infront of everyone, but after some good old fashioned bribing we got them to come out. All the boys had a lot of fun going to joy school throughout the year, and they even learned a few things!

Grandpa Blad

Mikes Grandpa Blad passed away and we had the funeral for him last saturday. We will all miss him, he was a great man. Whenever I go to a funeral my testimony of the gospel really grows, it makes you think more about the plan of salvation and the importance of families. Im very grateful for the the gospel and the peace that the knowledge of the plan of slavation brings when you lose a loved one.

Tooth Fairy!!

Brielle lost her first tooth last weekend, and she lost her second tooth a couple days ago. The tooth fairy brought her 2 dollars!
Here she is all tucked in waiting for the tooth fairy to come.

She went to the dentist yesterday and he said her two top teeth will be coming out soon!
