4th of July

I Love the 4th of July!! Even if it does start pretty early for us. We go see the hot air balloons. In order to be there on time we have to leave our house at 5:30. They are so amazing though. This may have been the best year so far for seeing them fly.We watch with Robb's brother Chris and his family.The cousins have a great time together.The main reason I go is for the French Toast at Kneaders afterwards.

That night we went to the Stadium of Fire in Provo. The Jonas Brothers were the main group.

The kids made signs. They looked so cute dressed for the 4th of July.It has been fun the last two years seeing big name people there but I love the dancers, the music, the atmosphere, and especially the fireworks.The kids loved the Jonas Brothers, especially Casey. He really started to get into it.We had a great couple of days but they were exhausting.Happy 4th of July!

3rd of July

We got to start our holiday weekend on Friday the 3rd. Robb had the day off. We had promised the kids we would take them miniature golfing. That evening we had a hot dog roast and made smores in our backyard. I love a good cookout.After dinner, we had fireworks in our backyard. It was so fun with our family.

Family Reunion

We got to go to the Luke reunion this year. It is fun. Robb's grandparents and all their kids and their grand kids and great grand kids get together. The last few years we have done it at the Sunrise P River Ranch in Burley, Idaho. We have great food, good times, and the slide is great. The first couple of days we stayed at Robb's mom and dad's house. The kids had a ball on their water slide, playing with the cousins.Every year they have a talent show. The kids love to take part.We had a great time together sharing family time.

Family pictures

These are some family pictures we just had taken. Robb's friend Tim, offered to take them for us.

Taylor Swift concert

I surprised my girls with a fun night out. Taylor Swift came to Salt Lake. I knew a little about her but my girls liked her. Now I think she is a great artist. She played for two hours and in between songs she talks to the crowd like she is having a friendly conversation. She actually seems shocked when people get excited.
At the end of each show when she comes out for an encore she comes out with something on that is for that state. This show she came out with a Jazz jersey on.There are tons of buses and trailers she has with her. We got to take pictures by one of these buses.I would do this again in a heart beat. She was worth every penny.

Robb's grandmas funeral

Robb's grandma passed away. The funeral was so amazing. She has a lot of family and almost everyone was there. This is Robb's family. Everyone was there. Since this we have added one baby but it is amazing we got everyone there.After the funeral was over Robb's dad helped all the grand kids get a flower from on top of grandma's casket. It was a special experience. We are happy she returned to people she love.

Easter

We got to spend Easter in Las Vegas with my mom and dad. This is my cute family before church.

After church, we got to see what the Easter bunny brought.we got to have a fun egg hunt in their back yard. Then we got to have a yummy Easter dinner.

Spring Break in Vegas

We have started a tradition of going to my mom and dads in Las Vegas. The kids and I usually leave Robb and go but this year Robb had a trip in Vegas while we were there. We got to see him every night.

Every time we go to visit, my mom finds a great park. This year it was a park with reptiles all over.We go to the Bellagio every time to watch the fountains and see the garden. It is my favorite place.This year we went to Circus Circus one day. The Midway was fun. We watched two shows for free and played games. Each child one two prizes.

We also went to the Silverton Casino and Bass Pro Shop. The have a tankful of fish and Sting rays. We go and watch them be fed. It is fun the kids can ask questions. This year we shot guns at the Bass Pro Shop and then we also got to visit the Mermaid in the tank.But, our favorite thing to do is to just spend time at my mom and dads pool. It was a little cool and windy this year but that didn't stop us. Also, my mom and dad gave the kids water guns for Easter. The kids had fun at the house.

Confrence Trip

Every April we go with Robb's family to Salt Lake and stay in the Marriott by Temple Square. We have fun watching conference, swimming, and eating. This year Robb, the girls, and I got to go to the Sunday morning session.
