July 2021

 I would say July is the month we try and pack the most fun into. Camping, parades, celebrating birthdays, baseball game, braces coming off, fun with family and more! Of course these won't be in order. I really hate that it's so difficult to move them around.

Parade in Preston, got some crumbl cookies :)

Camping trip up Logan Canyon. We had Eric's parents, and both of his sisters and their families. Lots of good memories made.

Everyone has a baby in their lap.

It was so beautiful.

These next two pictures are from a different camping trip to the Naylor's pond over the 4th of July. The girls really wanted to sleep in a tent with cousins.

Tremonton had an art fair with sidewalk chalk and everything crochet.

Naylor Pond shenanigans.

We were in a drought and there was very little water in the pond. This did not stop the kids though.

Very muddy kids...

Shooting guns. I actually hit some targets myself! It helps to have a scope.

My mom turned 70! Rich put together a surprise party and we sure surprised her. We had a lunch at the park and had her open some presents. This first one was of a shirt with all her kids and grandkids pictures on it. 

This next one was hilarious to watch her open. She was clueless at first. My mom loves baseball so we got her tickets to a minor league game for her and all of us! She was confused because we had our tickets printed out and they didn't look like real tickets. But you could tell when it clicked.

We had actually duck food, but ya know.

partied hard at the park with cousins.

tie tying shirts.

We went to a movie in the park together. I love that our community has things like that.

Another parade! We took the kid Abby babysits on Saturdays with us and went with some neighbors.

More Bear Lake fun. We went there as part of the Naylor 4th of July camping.

Our birthday baseball game! It was a very one sided game.

Had a nice view of the temple the whole time.

Last time for Abby having braces on.

Braces free!

This is the Logan Canyon camping trip again.

Making ice cream in a bag.

They made their own campfire

4 wheeling always gets me dirty.

Ice blocking at home with neighbors.

Logan Canyon camping again.

We were there with all the sheep again. We invited the sheep herder over for dessert one night and chatted a little. He didn't speak much English and Eric's Spanish is rusty. But we got along.

Abby turned 14!!

We also went to Lagoon with my family.

Some of us, including me went on the Sky Coaster. I had been on it years before with my parents. Some of my girls wanted to go too. I went with Kyla and Mia. Kyla was so freaked out and wanted out as they were pulling us up that she was crying and bit my shoulder!!

McKenna really wanted to go but we already had 2 groups of 3 go, so Eric took her even though he didn't really want to go himself. What a good uncle.

Preston parade. Started out a little wet.
