Heritage Days 09...

We all had a great time at Heritage Days once again. Everyone enjoys getting together with family, friends and neighbors at the park for lots of fun. The concert on Friday night was great and the kids all loved dancing to the music.

Saturday morning was the parade where the grand kids love to be on the firetrucks and throw candy on the way to the park for a fun filled day. And we all love Grandma Cindy's Navajo tacos, hamburgers, 1/4lb hot dogs and Grandma Allen's scones. YUMMY!

Big congrats to all of the family that won in the duck race! Always a great time.

The town BBQ was moved to the cultural hall because of a down pour of rain. It was delicous and we all stuffed ourselves

I think the highlight of the day is always the fireworks at the end of the evening. Everyone enjoys kicking back and watching the great show. We are so blessed to live in such a great community with wonderful friends. And look forward to Heritage Days again next year!

Today is Carson's birthday. He is 8 years old. We had a fun day with the kids. He wanted a star wars birthday cake. I made an outer space cake with jet transformers on it. When the kids came (Sienna, Brogun, Drake, Carson, Madison, Grayson, Alyson, Ashlyn and Gavin) (yes, they were all there) We made flying saucers out of paper plates. They had fun and they turned out cute. There was glitter everywhere. I had lots of help, Malory, Amy and Monique were there helping with the babies and crafts. There was almost wall to wall babies on the living room floor. Just enough room for little Trevin when he get here, which should be pretty soon.

We also made Father's Day presents for the dads. Amy and Malory wrote a cute poem to go with the candy ties we made.

Later that night we ate cake and had an asteroids shower (little gifts wrapped in crumped tin foil that we threw at each other. It was a good day for me and I hope the kids enjoyed it also.

Kicking Cousins

We decided to lay Brogun (on the left) and Gavin (on the right)under Broguns little activity mobile to play together the other night. But quickly found out that the way these two little guys are moving and kicking, someone had to be sitting close by to keep them apart. More then once, one of the little guys managed to get a good kick in on the other one. But neither one really seemed to pay much attention to it. And when we had them turned the same direction they kept grabbing hands. I am sure they will love to hear about this in there older years. That's the great part about parents memories and photos.
