I have so many things to blog about! Its been a busy summer and I haven't had time to blog so im playing catch up. It might get kind of get long…………… sorry.
Tuacahn
This summer us girls went to Tuacahn in June. We seen Grease and The Little Mermaid. This is something we have been doing for the last few years and I hope its something we continue to do for a very long time. My girls look forward to it all year long!!!
My girls, me and my sister Alesha all rode in my car. When we first got to St. George we thought it would be fun to take the girls to the temple grounds. We didn’t stay to long but we did walk around and take a few pictures.
It was so pretty and green. I love all of the flowers everywhere. After we got to our hotel we had pizza and then got everyone ready for Grease!! Now im sure most of you know that Grease is one of my VERY favorite movies ever. I couldn’t wait to see the play!
Taylor and her cousin Paige. They do not get to see each other very often so it is so fun when they get together!!
Brooklyn with my sister Nicole.
This was Shaylees favorite place to hang out. She loved sitting by the water!
Payton and Brooklyn finally together!!!
We didn’t have pictures taken with the Grease cast because the kids were very ready to get back to the hotel and go to bed and to be honest so was I! It was a very cute play I wasn't disappointed at all! The next day we got up and went swimming had lunch and swam some more!!! When it was getting time for dinner we all got ready again and went to dinner and then off we went to see the Little Mermaid! This is the one my girls could not wait to see and ill tell ya what it was amazing!!!! I wish I could go see it again.
It was a fun vacation. Its always kind of hard taking the kids with out Mike but I love going and making memories with just us girls!!!!
July 4th!!!!
Every year we go to my grandma and grandpas for the fourth of July. We have the parade, a yummy lunch, slip n slid, and fire works!!!! Here are a few pictures of the day.
Shaylee thought the fan felt great to set in front of, I had to have a picture!
Shaylee playing in the pool with all of her little cousins!
I love the look on her face
Shaylee was having a water fight with her cousin Nicholas and every time he would throw water on her face she would come show me.
Mike feel asleep while we were outside visiting and the girls thought it would be funny to throw water on him to wake him up,
Needless to say he wasn’t as asleep as we thought and I think the girls lost the water fight!!
She loves her daddy
Brooklyn was taking good care of Ethan fanning him off so he wasn’t to hot
Just chilling out with family!
Lamb Day
Lamb day for us is more like Lamb week now that the girls show sheep in the sheep show. All summer long the girls walked their sheep to get them ready for the show. The day before the show they get to wash the sheep so they are all clean for the big day. Here are some pictures of them cleaning their sheep.
Fun times………………..
This is the first year Taylor has been old enough to compete in the show. She was very excited. She did very good she took 4th place her sheep's weight class and 11th over all. We were very proud of her!!
This is the judge asking her questions about her sheep making sure she knows all of the things she is suppose to know about her sheep.
Brooklyn and Shaylee aren't old enough to compete in the show but they have the little kids show their sheep and then they all get a ribbon for participating.
I didn’t get any good pictures of the girls because their backs were always to me but here is what I have.
The judge asking Brooklyn what she named her sheep.
The judge asked Shaylee her sheep's name but she wouldn’t tell him so Brooklyn had to. It was so cute the way Brooklyn took care of her little sister!
I tried really hard to get a picture of Shaylee with her sheep but as you can see it wasn’t going to happen, this is what I got. I guess its better than nothing!
The day after the sheep show (Lamb Day) is when they auction of the sheep. Taylors sheep went for $450.00!! Talk about a happy little girl! Here she is auctioning off her sheep.
Now for the Lamb Day parade. Taylor and Brooklyn rode through with their softball team on the fire truck.
My grandpa Burke has been hauling sheep for over 50 years!! He retired this year but a guy in town (Jess Bailey) wanted to do a tribute to him for all of the years he has hauled sheep. He loaded up a lot of sheep in a truck and pulled them through he parade as a tribute to grandpa. It was really neat!!
We had a very fun Lamb Day! We got to see Mikes family for a few days while they were here and that’s always tonz of fun!! We’ve been having an awesome summer, im not at all ready for school to start again. Sorry this post was forever long ill try to do better at updating one thing at a time!
