Summer 2009...so far

Fourth of July started out with a breakfast at the church.

Following the breakfast, we had a huge party in our cul-de-sac.

This is Cas and Kara chill-axing!

We finished the evening with a fireworks display of our own!

The aftermath!


The kids and I headed to Arizona for two weeks of sun and fun!

First off, the Smithson family reunion.

We went camping for four days and the kids loved it.

on a four-wheeler ride. They lived on the four-wheelers.

We spent time with Bannon...

...and with Kenadi.

Then, Aunt Cara had a tea party for the girlies.

It was a very formal affair.

The girls had a blast...thanks Aunt Cara! :)

The OCM played Rock Band for us...and they rocked!

My sister, Cayla, and I.

Tanner, Presley, Castin, Cascia and Stratton.


It's now a tradition that the last weekend we are in Arizona

we all head to Phoenix to spend the weekend at a resort.

It was a fun weekend together!

It's been a fun summer so far and it is going by way too fast. We still have things to be done, places to go and things to see. We'll add the pictures as they come!
