Happy 24th of July

     Every year our neighborhood gathers together on the 24th of July for a children's parade and a pancake breakfast.  The kids decorate their bikes and wagons and dress up in patriotic or pioneer fare. Avery just got a great cowgirl hat from Grandma and Grandpa Peterson and she couldn't resist showing it off!

6!!!

      Having twins is really fun (after the age of  4).  We stayed with family celebrations this year and had a fun day spent together and had a fun movie date.  They got their own cakes.  Avery chose an Oreo ice cream cake and Breck wanted a Hulk smash cake.  Happy Birthday twinners!!  I can't believe you're 6. 

12!

 

     How cute is this 12-year-old???  Keaton turned twelve and we're so excited for him.  He was super happy to have the privilege of being ordained as a deacon in our church.  We're so proud of him and the great kid he is!  Happy Birthday Keat!! 

Happy Birthday Rees!!

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Happy Birthday Rees!!  Birthdays are so much more fun with kids.  No matter how un-excited you are about celebrating the last birthday of your 30's...your kids are SUPER EXCITED!!! It also helps to have Annie make you a deluxe s'mores cake.  Happy Birthday Babe!!  We love you!

Early Summer Tradition

      Once we can hear the toads croaking like crazy at night Corey gets excited and takes the boys up to a small pond near our home.  They go with grocery bags ready to catch toads and bring them back to our yard to live for the summer.  They brought home 9 this year!  Love these fun little rituals.

Pre-School Graduation

     Avery & Brecken graduated Pre-school.  It was a fun night with beautiful, entertaining singing, a well-led pledge and sweet good-byes to Miss Sue.  

 

 

 

Payson Temple

    We had the privilege this spring to attend the Payson Temple Open House.  It was a stunning building and so wonderful to take our family through.
