10 year old

It took me a little longer that normal to get G's 10 year old pics. He was always so busy with friends, it was back to school time, not to mention my hectic schedule. Anyway, I finally got some. He is so HANDSOME!! I just love those freckles!

Anniversay #17

I can't believe we have been married 17 years. It's totally crazy. Saturday was our anniversay. Didn't think too much of it. Colby and I went out when he was here on leave the week before. So, since he's overseas, I was shocked when these arrived today!! I love them! They are so beautful and some of my most favorite flowers, and what fun colors. Colby, you did well. I love them, and I love you. too! Happy Anniversary to you, too!!

Pine Valley

Sunday, I took the kids up to Pine Valley for a nice relaxing afternoon. We just chilled out, played games, ate snacks, played in the creek, and took pics. It was a nice little break from the everyday.

And They're off!

Kaden 10th Grade

Rileigh 8th Grade

Garrett 4th Grade, Mrs. Bryner

Carly 1st Grade, Mrs. Borop

All 4 of them are in school all day. It's crazy! It makes me feel old. Oh well, I guess all I can do is enjoy!

Hallies' 4

Happy Birthday Hallie! You are a doll!

G is 10!

I can't believe that Garrett is 10 years old! Crazy. We celebrated his birthday today. He was up bright and early wanting to open his presents.

He had a water war party. They had all kinds of water guns, bombs, and squirters. The loved the big rafts. The party had to be moved indoors on account of the rain.

He had a Halo birthday cake. Happy Birthday G! We love you.

Fun at the City Pool

Mom rents the city pool for a back to school faculty party most years. Carly went of the diving board like 49 times, and Garrett and Branson went down the hydrotube that many times or more. Rileigh spent a lot of time shooting hoops in the water. Kaden showed up in time for Fat Boy ice cream sandwiches. What a fun night. Thanks Mom.

Heroes & Villiams

This summer, Rileigh went to a theater class called Kids on stage. They did the play Sat. and Mon. It was little bits of Jungle Book, Alice in Wonderland, Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, & Beauty and the Beast. It was so fun to watch. She did a great job, and loved every minute of it. I wish I had her confidence. I was always so shy when I was her age.

Quail Lake with YW

We went to Quail Lake last night with the Young Women. Garrett had to bring some friends so he wouldn't be the only boy. Roasting hot dogs on the beach and the yummy food was a definate highlight. Everyone had a good time. They even knocked G, Luke, and Branson of the tube.

Jaxons big cheeks!

We took Jaxon outside to try to get a pic of his darling big smile. No such luck! He was too distracted out there for us. Next time!!

Happy 24th!

We had a fun water/BBQ/fireworks party at Grandma Judy's. It was such a nice day. Overcast and not too hot. The kids had fun sliding on the slip and slide, and sliding down the slide into the frog pool. We had yummy red, white,and blue desserts. The fireworks were great, too. This was the first year that Carly wasn't scared of them. She actually held a sparkler by herself! Nice job Carly.

Happy 30th Melanie!

I made Melanie a 30th birthday cake. We took it over to her house. She of course invited us to stay and eat it. We thought we'd leave the 30 suckers on it and lit candle on the lower level. Yah, way smart. The wrappers started on fire. I hope you have an awesome day Melanie!

Veyo

We finally made it to Veyo this year. It was just as fun and yummy as we remembered! Thanks Mom!

Swim, swim, swim...

Grandma Judy got a new boat that we had to try out at Bode's pool. It was way too fun! Here are the pics from the last day of swim lessons. Lots of cool jumps off the diving board. Nice job Luke and Carly!

Turner Reunion 2010

We got to go to the Turner family reuinion in Park City this year. Heather, kids, and I went with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Garn. We went to Aunt Diane and my cousin Nyleen's cabins. It was amazing. We felt like we were at a resort. The kids ran free in their yards, played on the swingset, tramp, river walk, and woods. A favorite was Thea's treehouse that reminded me of Tarzan's. We ran into snakes, made hot dogs and s'mores over a HUGE fire pit, and did sparklers.

I was in heaven! There were so many wonderful photo spots. I took tons of pics, and the kids barely noticed. We went to a Park City Style 4th of July parade, and got to go to the OneRepublic concert outdoor at Deer Valley. I made mom stop to take pics by the barn. I have always wanted to take some there, but I hardly ever take my kids with me to Park City. We also managed to cool off....alot! Boy it was cold up there! Sunday It was in the 40 and 50's.
