July

Addie did a mini cheer camp the first week of July. She loved it . The second day she came home so excited and said "tomorrow we get our bom boms." The girls who participated in the mini cheer camp were supposed to walk in the children's parade on the 3rd, the 4th of July parade, perform in the park and perform at the powder puff game. I got her to walk in the children's parade but I had to resort to bribing her with a new barbie to get her to that so I didn't even try to have her do the other things. I was too busy making sure that my float didn't fall apart during the parade. Luckily everything went well with the float, we even won a prize. And won the title of most patriotic. After the parade everyone goes to the park and they booths set up and people socialize, eat, the kids play games it is way fun, I personally think 4th of July in Fillmore is the best (That doesn't mean I want to stay here, I figure I can just visit for the 4th.) Addie got to play a game with fish and we were lucky enough to get to take one home, so now I have a fish to take care of, lucky me. The fireworks in Fillmore are some of the best I have ever seen, they always seem to be a perfect ending to a great day, It is so fun to watch Addie and Kamryn watch the fireworks. All in all we had fun on the 4th, oh yeah my family came. It was fun to have them with me.



On the 17th Shad came home for lunch and said "Let's go to Vegas tonight" I said ok and we packed and left. On the way down we relized that The Boston Red Sox were playing in Anaheim that weekend. So we got on ebay found some tickets for Saturday's game, left the girls with my mom and sister and headed for California. It was totally worth the drive even though Boston lost.


Kamryn and I took a Mommy and Me swim class and Kamryn absolutely loved the water. The pictures do not capture the pure joy that showed in her smile. I had so much fun watching her play in the water. I would put her on the side on the pool and she would fall foward into the water and laugh. Addie did another session of swimming lessons while kamryn and I did our class, Addie liked having us in the water with her.

On the 31st of July I met my grandma, my auntie Pilar, my cousin Kaity, my sisters and my mom in St. George and we went to see Les Miserables at Tuacahan. It was fun, we had front row seats and we could literally see spit coming out of the Actors mouths we were so close. It was amazing.

June

Ok I know I should have had time by now but it is so hard for me to sit on the computer, it seems like everytime I get on Kamryn needs me to hold her or Addie wants to do PBS Kids. Anyway, here is our summer. We started off June by having my grandparents and my Uncle Jose from New Mexico come to visit. My mom drove them up from Las Vegas and spent about 3 days here. It was so fun to have them here. We went and toured the old statehouse building, (which I have never done before), went to Addie's swiming lessons, and just visited a lot. I loved having them here. Then we packed up and went to Las Vegas for my brother Ben's highschool graduation, It is crazy to think that he is graduated, it makes me feel old. We got to vegas and my brother decided that he wasn't going to walk so we all just went out to dinner instead. It was nice to visit with everyone. We got home and packed again and took off to Yellowstone. I loved Yellowstone the weather was perfect and it was so pretty. I thought it was so neat to see buffalo and elk roaming around. On our way to yellowstone we spent the night in Idaho Falls and then went to Bear World. It was fun to see bears so close up and I really liked watching the bear cubs. The petting zoo was way cool, I have never touched a real live dear and I have always imagined their fur to be silky smooth but it was actually quite rough. Addie loved riding the rides with her dad. We loved all the sites there was to see in Yellowstone, Old Faithful was amazing and the sheer force of the water in the waterfalls we saw was so cool. The pictures do not do the water falls justice. Overall the trip was great here are some of the pictures of our trip, I am so glad we got to go.
