24th of July Celebrations

This last month was my birthday plus the pioneer holiday.  This was a birthday I will never forget.  We started the day with the parade. My brother's family went with us.  The kids had fun at the parade then we went to the carnival.

 Cheering the parade on with the cousins

 Kyle and daddy chilling in the road waiting for the parade to start.

 Kyle was brave to ride the roller coaster

Evan and Bryanna had so much fun riding together.

 Up, Up and away

 When is this boat going to move.....

 This is Bryanna's favorite ride.  She loves the swings.

 So my family gave me a huge surprise.  All my siblings, dad and husband went in together and got me a Kindle fire.  I was so surprised and I even cried because they were so kind.  They wrapped it into a huge box and it was so much fun to unwrap.  I still can't believe it.  My family is so amazing.

To end this wonderful day we set off fireworks.  What a great way to end such a great day.  Thanks everybody......

Bear Lake

This summer we went on a trip to Bear Lake with Bryan's parents.  We had so much fun.  Bear Lake to me is like Disneyland it is so relaxing and so much fun.  I have spent many times at Bear Lake as a little kid and it  was so fun to remember those times and show them to my kids.  Besides going to the beach we also rented a boat to do some tubing. 

Bryanna tried to go surfing.  She had so much fun swimming around in the lake.  I love it that she could play  and swim for so long.

 Playing in the sand and water with daddy.  Kyle thought it was great.

 Floating out in the water.

 Trying to build a sand castle.

 Bryanna made her own sand castle.  We were trying to protect it from Kyle.  Ky man like to smash them and it would make Bryanna so mad.

Riding on the tube.

 At the campground they had a train ride.  Ky and Bryanna could ride it all night.

 The next night they had a hay ride. Ky loved the tractor.

 We got to jump on the big jumping pillow

We ended the weekend with some golf.  The kids were so tried by the end of our weekend.  Bryanna thought it would be fun to bring sand home to her friends.  But I talked her into leaving it at the lake.  She loved how soft the sand was. 

Bryanna's Piano Recital

 Ok so I am really behind in a lot of things.  I am trying to catch up.  Bryanna had a piano recital in May.  I know it is August but life has been really busy.  Bryanna got to dress like for her piano recital.  She was playing a song from Pocahontas.  She did such a great job.  She was so nervous but I was so proud of her.  Every day when she practices I love hearing the music echo through the house.  My favorite are all the church songs that she has learned. 

Here she is playing the piano I love these pianos.  I would love to have a piano like this but then I would need a bigger house and make a room just for it.

Here are all the students that performed. They all did such a great job.  Their costumes were so cute.
