4th of July 2011

This is the new way to watch parades. We were in an air conditioned building looking down on the common folk, watching the 4th of July parade. The best ever!


We went with our friends hiking after the parade. It was so much fun.


Check out the Poppy. I love poppies. I want this poppy in my yard. If you see me in jail for digging up flowers in the forest, bail me out.



Try and keep up with those two guys.



Here is the rest of the crew trying to keep up with Jason and Ryan.




We hiked 3/4 of the way up before we had to turn back because someone had fallen off the waterfall. So we turned around and had lunch at a little park on the side of the road.




We started up again and finally reached the top.




- The Speirs



Hunter had to find a bush to potty in, Jason was helping her.




-The Murdock Crew




What is Halle wearing? It was almost as bad as the polygamist in their jeans and dresses that were hiking too.





The weather was great on the way up but it was a little hot on the way down. Scotty was done. Cami is concerned about her hair.




On the way down the Murdock Crew had a few minor problems.
I got to help carry Lola down the mountain. She is the cutest thing on earth. If I could kidnap that baby with out going to jail, I just might do it.



We finally made it down. It was so much fun. I love hiking in the mountains. It was great. I hope that this will be our new 4th of July tradition.
I will be calling you, Cami and Summer so don't hide from me. Get excited!

The Farm

For FHE we went out to Grandma and Grandpa Hawkins Farm with the Barlow girls.
Jason is showing off his skills.


Halle and Hunter take horseback riding lessons so they were professionals.


Micaela



Lauren



Hunter loves riding.



These two girls are so goofy together, but I love it. You are only a kid once.



Halle loves the swing too.




Then we went to a neighbors house that has KANGAROOS! The girls were a little nervous but then they were super excited.





Cute baby kangaroo. We did a lot of petting and sneezing. The girls wont stop talking about it and asking when they can go back. I think the girls would like to live at The Farm.

Halle's Baptism

It was a great day for a baptism. Halle was beautiful and ready to become a member of the Church.

I have to say the day couldn't have gone better. Our family and friends were there supporting us. We have the best families and friends ever. Thank You for all of your support.

I always do things backwards- this is the "brunch" after Halle's Baptism.



Double Threat!!





Grandma Nan and Grandma Char both helped out at the baptism. Grandma Nan lead the songs, and Grandma Char played the piano. I guess the girls get their abilities from both sides of the family.





Halle- Sparkly Clean!!




Half of the Robison Boys



Summer played her guitar for the baptism, and Cora just looked adorable.



This is the dessert table. Cami told me it is never to early in the morning for dessert. AMEN SISTER!

Halle and Jason




Halle getting psyched for the big moment.

The girls all played their instruments; guitar, violin and piano. I am grateful for such talented neices and daughters. Keep up the practicing.
