Outing with friends

Unfortunately I forgot my camera so I had to
use my phone that takes terrible pictures.

Our neighbors and us decided to go up hobble

creek canyon fora barbeque. The kids got to play

in the creek and some of the parents too. We're so

lucky to have such fun close neighbors that we can

enjoy spending time with!

Pack night

Last Thursday was pack night and
Kel got to lead us all in the
pledge of allegiance and posting
of the colors. It was just cute!!


Kel has worked really hard and he
received his wolf badge.


Of course, the moms get a pin too
and he managed to not poke me...
thanks Kel.

Dinosuar Museum

Tiffany and I decided to be awesome moms
and take our kids to the dinosaur museum.
I have to admit that I have no idea what they
are all checking out, but my guess would be
some kind of fossil.


One of the many things to check out...fish.
My kids love to watch fish, even when we go
to Walmart.



We all got to climb through the huge cave
together. The end of it is right behind us.



The sand and water probably the least favorite
for the parents but the funnest for the kids.

Twilight...

Yes we are Stephenie Meyer fans and
yes we are a few of the crazy ladies
who went at midnight to claim our books
"Breaking dawn." There were over 800
people there. Luckily for us, Dave Stroud
stood in line to get us wristbands. We
were in the two hundreds. So thank you
thank you Dave!!



We did at least bring our chairs so we
didn't have to stand... we know where
our spot in line is!


Finally, what we had waited so long for...
our books!!

Neighbor night

If you look outside on a Sunday evening around 6:30pm, you'll see us all gathered on someone's
driveway or in this case (it was raining) a garage. We all get together and bring out a yummy dessert to share with eachother and spend an hour or two visiting.















I think the kids look forward to this more
than the adults!




And you never know who's going to show up. It might be the crazy lady with the head piece, or
the brother and sister you hooked up who are now in love... who knew!

24th celebrations

We had to get up early to go to the Spanish Fork
parade and kids were absolutely thrilled (if you can't
tell) until it started. Then it was great!!


They all made out pretty well with the candy
and other things like frisbies.



After the parade we went behind to
enjoy all the activities and entertainment
and jumping on dad.

Flag retirement ceremony

The Stroud's invited us to go watch the retirement of the Macey's flag with them. I

thought the kids would enjoy this, and they did once all of the speakers were finished.

It was really hard to hear from where we were so it was hard for them to sit quietly and

patiently. Kel wore his scout shirt so he was able to go down and help carry all of the

old flags to the fire. It's so awesome to be able to see your own kids participate in events

like this.

Taya not really excited about the whole ceremony

They could feel the fire from where we were
and it was already too hot.

The soldiers burning the Macey's flag. What an amazing moment!
