Summer Happenings

It has been awhile since my last post so I thought I would just put up some pictures of some of the things we have done this summer. I haven't been real good about bringing my camera. Actually, I should say I haven't been real good at taking pictures. I usually bring my camera but leave it in the car and forget to take pictures. But here are a few I took. Our kids at the 4th of July Parade
After the parade we had a BBQ with friends and then went to Rigby Lake for the afternoon.
The kids had so much fun playing at the lake. We could barley drag them out of there after 3 hours! Then we watched the fireworks by the river. We had a good time with friends & family.
We had my family reunion the end of June in Kaysville, UT. EVERYONE in my family was able to make it! We haven't had everyone in the same place at the same time in over 2 years! It was great seeing everyone again.
I don't know if you remember, but in December I posted pictures of my brother and sister-in-laws house. We helped them with their kitchen. We moved the fridge from the middle of the kitchen to the end which made it a lot more functional. Then we added bead board to their cabinets and did a stain on them and changed their hardware. We cut out the center of some of their cabinets for a break in the pattern of a long wall of cabinets. We did all that in December. Then in June when we were in UT for the family reunion, we finished up their kitchen. We put this brick back splash up and painted. I wish I would have taken a picture in the day light. The color looks a lot better. This was taken right after we finished at about 1am. The walls are actually an olive green and rusty red. I think it turned out really cute. I hope they are enjoying their new kitchen make over.

Oh how I miss the fireworks on the river!!! Your kiddos are huge I can't get over it! Oh and by the way if you guys have some spare time you can come teach us how to refinish our cabinets I would be totally cool with that...lol

Courtney's hair is coming in nicely! It looks like you have had a GREAT summer. I'm glad you took a family picture with your family - they are SO hard to get but SO great to have - maybe next time you should try to bribe Ron to smile! I miss you!
