Great Summer Breaks

My life has been consumed by bar exam study, but I was not about to miss 4th of July fun with family that started with a backyard sleepover July 1st. Mom really liked the tent!
This is the first time in four years that the Lecheminants were able to join us. Avrey looked so cute in her P.J.s but she was sleeping inside.
Grandpa made snow cones for all the kids, which they loved!

Andy kindly took kids on motorcycle rides which Kaden loved!
We enjoyed Smores and family time in the backyard.
I woke everyone up at 6:00am the next morning to go to the balloon launch. They, as always did not like me waking them up but we loved the balloons this year!
The Darth Vader balloon was very cool. The kids liked having their picture with Darth but I think Kris enjoyed it the most.
Kris took a really "attractive" picture of me at 6:30am. But I thought it was really funny.


During the day, on July 2nd, it got really hot so the Hortons set up a huge slip and slide and the kids, including Kris, had a blast!

In the evening we had a BBQ before the Stadium of Fire fireworks. Kerri got a mix to make homemade Cream Soda which I put together with help from Avrey, who was fascinated with the dry ice.
We ate popcicles and waited for the fireworks.


On July 3rd we took family pictures because everyone was here. This is just Grandpa, Grandma and the 23 grand kids. Below are the parents getting them to smile. Too funny!

I took some pictures of my own, of the five oldest grand-daughters who are growing up way too fast!
Quincey and Kylie

Cory, Grandma, and Caleb
Dads and Daughters; Jeff and Avrey, Spencer and Afton.

The following weekend Andersons were in town so I headed back to Hortons for a sleepover where Quincey and Ali painted my nails.
Cory was talking lots a smack to me the whole time he was here and finally I let him have it. Needless to say the battle continued all weekend!
The kids enjoyed popcicles, then we headed to Spanish Fork to go see the remodel Larsens have been working on in their house. Ali found a nice wig at the Larsen house.

They have done so much work on their house and it looks great. Painting, flooring, and remodeling cabinets. So much work and all done by the Larsens.

Larsens took us to a shave ice place in Spanish Fork which was so good on a hot summer day! If I have not said it before, I have a great family!
