Hunter's Summer Roundup!

Hunter went to the temple for the first time this Summer.  She has some good friends that like to go to the temple together.  This is in front of the Timp Temple.

 This is Hunter doing. . . . who knows what.

 We went golfing one night with the Westcotts for FHE.  Cole was giving Hunter some pointers.  Hunter wasn't listening she was just posing.

 Our annual 4th of July Hot Air Balloon launch.  We got there early ate our donuts and left.  PERFECT!

 Another tradition we do on the 4th of July is hike to Stewart Falls.  It was beautify.  The girls got to play in the water and cool off.

 Hunter's 1st girls camp.  I was lucky enough to go with her.  It was awesome to be there with her.  This is the rope swing that everyone did.  A few girls fell in, not Hunter.

 Hanging out with Ally at Girls Camp.

 Next our annual trip to Sun Valley Idaho.  It was a ton of fun.  This is Hunter in front of the you store. She looks good on her wheels.  

 The Robison's got together this year for a day of fun.  We were going to try for a reunion but this turned out even better.  We hung out at Lanny's and played on this GIGANTIC slip and slide.  It was super fun.

 Hunter and Mckynlie back to school shopping.  They are going into 7th grade.  HELP ME!

 Hunter, Ally and Lilly went to the Oquirrh Temple and the Jordan River Temple a week ago.  They made a goal to go to some different temples.  

Hunter is now babysitting and going to Jr.  High.  She is getting so old.  She is awesome.  Good luck in Jr. High.  Mommy loves you!

( I need a cinnamon roll, fast!)

Camping

 We went camping with the Harkness Family this past June.  Hunter also brought along two of her friends.

 Halle and Sammie got along great.  They had a lot in common. . . pink and cute outfits.

 Hunter, Mckinlie and Ally thought they were super cool.

 Hunter loves her friends.

 Sammie and Halle posing for the camera.  

 We did a lot of this- riding in the Rhino.

-Shooting guns (sorry Brooke)

 The girls think that they can skip drivers ed.  They drove the Rhino around and around and around.

 Jason, Ryan and Sam.  Sam and Jason went to Law School together.  They are little buddies.  If Jason has any funny stories from work they are usually stories from Sam.  He keeps Jason laughing.

 We also did a lot of eating.

Ryan was super cute and funny.  Ryan didn't talk the first day until we started singing songs like "The Loaded Diaper" from Diaries of a Whimpy Kid, he broke out and went crazy!

We had a lot of fun with the Harkness Family.  I think this is a new tradition.

Memorial Day

 We went to the Cemetery to deliver some Peonies to my dad's grave.  My mom always has a big bouquet of flowers for my dad.  

My dad served in the National Guard.  We didn't know that he had a flag at the cemetery.  We found it!

Happy Birthday Halle!

 This is Halle at 4 years old.  She loves to freak me out with hunting stuff and touching dead animals.

 Halle on the fist day of 3rd grade.  This is her signature pose.

 Halle and her buddy Lucas.  They are perfect crazy buddies when they are together.  There poor school teacher.  This is the ride at Disney Land that had throw up on the seat.  Nasty!

 Halle also loves her cousins.  She loves taking care of kids too.  This is Hema at Thanksgiving.  Halle helped tend Hema little sister Cora last week.  She was such a good helper.

 Halle on Easter morning.  She is the only one that will still sit and let me take pictures.

 This is the Halle's last sewing project.  She is getting good, watch out Martha Stewart.

 Halle also loves camping.  This is her friend Sammy.  Her family went with us camping a few weeks ago.  Halle taught her all sorts of stuff.  Her mom is cursing us, Sammy now wants a BB Gun.  

 This just shows Halle's personality.  She is a lot of fun.

 Halle is a sweet and fun to have in our family.  She is very talented and smart.

 Halle was born with a ton of black hair.  She was a great baby.  

Halle on her Blessing Day.  She was so cute.  We love you Halle.  Have a great 9th Birthday!!

6th Grade Graduation

 Hunter was chosen to give one of the speeches at her 6th grade graduation.  She did a great job.  She was  calm and collected.  She is definitely not like her mother.

 Grandma Nan came to the graduation.  We are so lucky she lives so close to us!  

 These are a few of Hunter's good friends.  They will all be going to American Fork Jr. High next year.  I am crying right now!

 Grandma Char and Grandpa Dave also came to see Hunter.  Thank You!

 These are Hunter's good friends that she has had since Kindergarten.  

Hunter had Mr. Shumaker this year.  He was a great teacher.  The kids said Hunter was the teacher's pet.  Can you blame him.  She is a straight A student and pretty darn cute!  

Piano Recital and Mother's Day

 Halle played  Favorites Things from the Sound of Music for her piano recital this year.

 Hunter played Canon in D for her piano recital this year.  

 We bribed the Grandma's, if they came to the recital we would take them to dinner.

What cute Grandma's.  Happy Mother's Day and thanks for coming.

Draper Temple

 Jason took Hunter and 2 of her friends to the Draper Temple the week she turned 12.  We made a goal this year to take some names to the temple.

I was able to watch Jason baptize the 3 girls.  It was so awesome.  I am so proud of Hunter, Jason and her friends.  What a blessing to live so close to the Temple and to have good friends and kids.
