Happy 4th of July / Happy Pioneer Day!!

We had so much fun on the 4th of July!!  My parents came to our house and spent the night with our kids so that Shane and I could go to Delta and play in an all-night 4-on-4 outdoor volleyball tournament with Coby and Jessica.  We had SO MUCH FUN, we made it all the way to the championship game, but then LOST :( !!The next morning we took the kids to the parade and all the park craziness, and they had so much fun!! (Is is bad that i dread the whole park thing every year??)

On the 24th of July, we had Shane's whole family over for a BBQ........

and then hit the Demolition Derby in Fairview that evening.  It's very interesting the crowd that  a Derby bring out....people watching is more then half the fun!!

Summer Fun!

I take all these cute pictures of my kids on my phone, and I need to make myself be better at putting them on HERE!!

Here is a little of our summer......

Yard 2012

I love having a big yard, and I love yard work..... Is that weird???

This is the first year we've done a garden and I'm a little obsessed with it! I think I go out and check the progress of my veggies a couple times a day. We planted corn, carrots, peas, tomatoes, 6 different peppers, squash, onions, zucchini, pumpkins, and potatoes.
I'm not sure what we're going to do with all this food since we are not big veggie eaters in this house, but it has been fun to watch them grow!!

Our yard is looking pretty good, it is still a work in progress, but our grass looks good this year and our trees and plants are starting to get big, and the weeds are under control and that makes me really happy, Preen is my best friend!

Softball Champs!!!!

Kennedi has had an amazing season of softball!  Shane was her coach again and they went undefeated this year (well they lost one game, but half of their team wasn't there, so of course I don't count that!!).

I can't believe how good she is at this sport!  She is fast, aggressive, and in it to WIN it at all times!

Here are the pics of the championship game at the Lions Tournament in Ephraim.  The babies weren't with us because my awesome friend from AZ was in town and stayed home with them so they could nap....Thanks Marci!

Our favorite visitors!!

We get so excited every year around the 4th of July, because we get the best visitors!!!  The Coombs family go completely  out of their way on their trip from Chandler to Cedar City  to stop at our house and we absolutely LOVE it !!

Kennedi has a blast with her little buddies, Grant and Carsen, and wishes she has a little sister just like London!!

This year we got a bonus when our other friends from AZ, Matt and Lindsey, were in town on the same night!  We had so much fun catching up with each other.....wish we all lived closer!!
