Cherry Hills Evening - FANTASTIC !

We had such a good evening.  Everyone was happy, the kids ran around, the adults relaxed.  We picked our spot in the shade, and Grandma and Grandma Ben (Rich) planted themselves there as the base of operations :)  Roger came (later), and Erika and Aaron came, and Carrie and Dax, along with Cam and Manda, Zac and CJ and boys, and Landon and Kacey and Payson.  The water was warm and refreshing.  The babies were happy, we had snacks to eat, and ended up staying till about 8 pm.  Thanks everyone for coming !!

Happy STINKIN' 24th of July

Cam's new outfit (shirt) - before we ate.  It was a nice relaxing day with family.

Aaron decorated a great cake and cupcakes to celebrate the July birthdays.  Roger D. and Jaden weren't here :(   We sang to them!  Mark's is on the 30th, Dad's and Roger D.'s are on the 29th, Landon's was on the 5th, and Brian's was on the 22nd.  Jaden's is on the 18th? I think, and Lance's is on the 28th 

Payson pretending with his "gun" :)  He was a sweetie.  We couldn't hardly get him to smile, but he loved moseying around, checking things out.  Unfortunately Thatcher went home with CJ to take a nap.  Treyson was so sick, throwing up, etc. 

Tagg got in the river, and freaked himself out a little bit when he couldn't touch.  He was pretty cold in this picture.

Tagg and Cam and Dax ran around and had a great time.  It was a good day, except for the STINK!! that permeated EVERYTHING.  Of all days, the farmer across the river decided to spread manure on his field.  It totally STUNK THE PLACE UP, and the dust from the tractor gave mom the worst stuffed nose/head.   After we got home, our CLOTHES STUNK, and my CAR STUNK !!!  It was so so gross.

Zac and Roger didn't make the party at the property because of work, but afterwards they came over to our house.  Zac and CJ were watching Lindsey and Moroni's 5 girls.  Boy what a crew we had :)

She loves Miss Piggy

and Sam

and Billy

and Brick

They had fun playing in the Ditch.............

and the Creek

My mom is always there to help me out and support me and keep things positive.  I love her so much.  Wish we could have gotten a video or her trying to haul me out of the creek, with Thatcher in my arms, and my feet slipping and sliding on the mud before I finally went down. 

This little piggy went to market..............

Payson went right over and climbed up on Grandpa's lap

Back to the barnyard, Camryn and Payson helped with chores

Payson even got to ride on Shady.  He loved it !

Relaxing on the patio

Payson didn't like the tub

Sunday - Snowbasin, Bakery, Dinner

Sunday morning we went to Snowbasin, and rode the gondola up to the Needles Lodge for a scrumptious brunch buffet. 

It was beautiful !

We are enjoying having Camryn and Amanda here for a visit.

Camryn and Payson

Later in the day we headed down to SLC to visit Grandpa Roger at the bakery. 

We received a GREAT TOUR, and everybody loved it. 

After we came back home, Tagg's nose hit Treyson's knee on the trampoline.  There were no tears, but plenty of blood !

Thatcher and Camryn

Treyson Lee

Grandma "D" fixed a delicious meal (as requested by Manda) - round steak in gravy, mashed potatoes, corn, jello, salad, rolls............... WE LOVE IT !!

Afterwards the kids ran in the sprinklers, and lay down on the asphalt to dry off.
