Our family went to Jackson Hole and drove up into Yellowstone Park the end of July. Jeff did some trade work and we got a condo for a week. We had Jeff's brothers family come for half of the week and then Jeff's parents came for the other half. We really had a fun time! The kids got to see a Bear for the first time. We also saw a Moose close up and saw many other animals. We love Jackson Hole! It is so relaxing and fun! We are going to make this vacation our family tradition.
We went to Lake Powell in July with Jeff's brother and stayed on his houseboat. We usually go by ourselves but this year we decided to take the whole family. Madison and Clayten had a ball and we just had to keep a close eye on Rebecca. Good times! We love Lake Powell! Thanks for having us again Todd and Kim!
My sister and I went to the Zoo with our kids about a week ago. We had a great time! It was hot! Luckily Julee brought a spray bottle and the kids had fun spraying each other to keep cool. Well some of the kids did. LOL! Here are some pics!

Merry go round
This monkey behind the kids copied everything they did. The kids got a kick out of it. It was hilarious!

Our family did some fireworks in our front yard for the 4th of July. The whole time Rebecca was saying, Wow, Wow, Wow! I thought they would scare her but she loved them. Madison and Clayten loved chasing down the parachutes from the fireworks. 
Our neighbors came over and watched too and brought Rebecca an icecream cone. She enjoyed herself!

Rebecca loves to fall asleep with Madison or Clayten when mommy is at work.
They look so much alike!
Rebecca also loves to wear Clayten and Madison's shoes and walk around the house.
Big girl!
Rebecca tries to be like her older brother and sister. Here she is wearing Madison's goggles. Funny girl!
In May we drove to California and stayed in Shaun and Jackie's condo and Jeff's sister Kristina met us there too. We had a great time! The cousins had so much fun together! We went to Disneyland, California Adventure, Universal Studios, and the beach. We stayed a week but wished we could have stayed longer. Enjoy the pictures!
For about a month I practiced with other Alumni girls for a dance that we performed at during Hunter High Silhouettes showcase. I was able to dance with some of my State Champ girls and it was so awesome! It was fun to see the girls that I danced with for the two years I was on drill team. It brought back many memories. We all practiced very hard and I think we did well! It was so fun to dance again. SFL!!!
