July 2009

We celebrated a fabulous 4th of July with our families. We spent the morning at the parade with Karl's family.

We usually go to the IHOP for breakfast before hand, but this year we decided to spare those sitting around us the wrath of 5 under the age 4, and opted for a picnic breakfast on the parade route. A fabulous choice if I do say so myself.
Later in the day we spent some time with my family... but no pictures were taken... don't know why... must have been a little tired...

We spent the weekend at the cabin with my family. Always relaxing. We also drove to Cascade Springs. Beautiful...

Kayson turned 1!!! We celebrated with a party at the park.
We tried having Kayson open his presents on his own, but he was a little slow. All the cousins (and big brother) were anxious as can be with all the gifts just waiting to be opened, we finally just told them all to grab one and go at it! Much quicker... Kayson later took time to examine each one.
In true Jenny form, I did leave his cake at home... nice work mom.

Luckily I did remember the ice cream, and Kayson was able to make a mess with that!

After the party, we had a fabulous time swimming with the cousins.
We were even lucky enough to have chosen a weekend that Jeff and Rach were in town! So fun to have ALL the cousins together.

Went to see the Days of 47 floats with Kristin and her girls. So fun to have friends with kids the same ages as mine! We need to hang out more often Kristin!

Took a visit to see Grandpa and Grandma Great in Escalante over the 24th.
We were all big fans of the parade(this wasn't all, trust me... They had floats and everything.) The kids had candy coming out their ears after it was over (the true sign of a good parade). We tried to make our way down to the center of town for the shoot out, but we had total meltdown going on before it started, so we opted to just go back for naps.
We got to spend lot of time with cousins, and just relax! We also went to a rodeo, and a family reunion while we were in town. As always, we had a great time. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Great!
