July 11 2009!

I asked Connor who was going to be having a birthday soon and he raised his hand. He turned 4 on July 20th. He is so cute! He loves his uncle Josh. He told his mom that he couldn't wait to see Josh so he could punch him in the throat, and kick him in the back. Haha. He would walk up to Josh and hit him and then run off with his chest puffed out like he is a macho man. So cute!

We had a really fun day planned for Seven Peaks, but, the weather did not coperate. It started to rain so we had a change of plan. We met in a parking lot by the water park to try to decide what to do. You can tell that some of them were not happy that we couldn't go. (Like Hunter and Stephen.)

Connor showed me his knife. Very scary Connor!

We ate lunch at Brick Oven. It was Josh's birthday too.

We had a room all to ourselves so when the little kids were acting like kitty's we could just laugh at them.

After lunch we headed to watch Ice Age in 3D. We all looked pretty hot in our glasses!

Stephen was being a gangster!

For Josh's birthday he took his truck to Heber to have a lift, new tires, and rims put on his truck. He is so happy about it. It is a little harder to get in and out of but he loves it. Little Spunky Connor thought it was a MONSTER TRUCK. Compared to his size it kind of is. Haha!

Brookelle and Tasha came for a visit!

Tasha and Brookelle came to visit. Hunter, Stephen, and Ashley had so much fun with her. She would repeat anything we would say. She is very cute! Hunter pulled all of the kids in Grandpa's Wagon.

Brookelle climbing on her mommy!

She was very impressed with Josh's "KITTY".

This is one very big "Kitty".

We can't wait for Brookell and Tasha to come visit us again!

Sunday night marshmallow roast and Grandma and Grandpa Behling's!

We had fun visiting with family, roasting marshmallows, playing, and eating

rootbeer icecream! YUM!!!!

Hunter, Emalee, Ashley, Shelby, and Stephen!

The kids always love all the stuff Grandpa has in his shed to play on! Hunter was good to pull the little girls all over the backyard in this wagon!

Stephen!

Barbeque and fireworks at my parents home!

On the front porch watching the fireworks that were at the highschool. It was cool to have the temple as a backdrop for them. I am so thankful to live in America, and to be a memeber of the only true church.

My mom found a basket of fireworks stored in her house. I was surprised that some of them even worked. They had to be from when all of us kid were at home. haha The kids had so much fun lighting them off.

We had a barbeque at my parents house. We were lucky.... it didn't rain. But we set up the tables in the garage just in case. Lots of my extended family was there. I always love my visits with family.

Kyle, Sidney, Bryan, Michelle, and McKenzie!

Lee, Maxine, Lynnda, Dennis, Bryan, my cousin Brian, Myra, and Kelly!

I don't know why this picture loaded sideways..... Jenny is holding my cousin Sarah's baby. She smiled so cute for this photo.

My Aunt Lynnda and Uncle Dennis came home from Vegas. Here are some of their kids, and grandkids!

My Aunt Sandra and some of her family!

It was so fun to visit with all my Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins!

After we ate lots of yummy food we had a "serious"game of volleyball. It was like t-ball.... everyone scored and everyone was a winner.... hahaha. It was very fun and we all laughed a lot.

Josh and my brother Brett!

My cute mom and dad!

Grandpa Cox has done an amazing job with his garden. He is so proud of it! Look at all those peas. We were bummed that they were not quite ready yet. The kids looked through them several times to see if they could find some that were ready.

Silly faces!

Ashley, Christine, Todd, and Bailey!

At the Manti Park on the 4th!

Tradition growing up for me on the 4th of July was going to the Manti park! So it was fun to take my kids there so they could do what I used to love. (Josh usually takes us camping or to Lake Powell.) It was fun to see family and friends there !

Josh always loves to talk to my uncle Kelly. They talk about knives, hunting, etc. My Aunt Sandra, Aunt Lynnda, Uncle Dennis, Aunt Myra, and Aunt Maxine!
