Fun in the Sun!


This summer has been a lot of fun!!  I am enjoying Oregon!  MeLinda & Scott and the kids went to the coast with Scott's family this summer.  Jace talked for months about going to the Specific Ocean!  On their way home they came and spent a night with us!  We had a ton of fun with them!

Fourth of July Party!!!
For the 4th of July we had a fabulous day!  First, we had breakfast with our Ward at the Park.  Then we went to the Parade, Ryan was in the Parade for The Aspens.  After quiet time, we had The Abbott's (Jason, Janet, Kaylin, McKenna & Raquel) over for a BBQ, we filled the swimming pool with warm water, and had the Slip-N-Slide for the kids to play on!  They had a blast!  The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays!  I'm so blessed to live in this wonderful Nation!  I'm Proud to be an American!!

Time for new water

Yummy Jello Jigglers!

We had a delicious meal!! And we were worried we weren't going to have enough food!  We had plenty, we had so much we forgot about the dessert.
 

Pool Party!!!
One Saturday afternoon we went to the local swimming pool! We had lots of fun! 
Reagan, I love this pic!  He is such a goofy kid, and this just confirms it even more!!

Slumber Party!!
That night after the swimming pool, I watched the kids so Leah & Ryan could go out!  We made dinner, played games, and had a slumber party in my room with popcorn and all!  I love spending time with my nieces and nephews!  They are a very special part of my life!
Having fun at the Slumber Party!  Aunt Nana, Lydia, Leauna, Reagan & Ryland!

Relaxing!
 Foot Massages!!!
One day after work, before I had purchased my new shoes.  The kids were outside playing in the swimming pool, so I went and soaked my feet.  I gave myself a pedicure, and then Reagan put lotion on my feet!  My feet were so soft!  I rubbed lotion on their feet after that too!  We each had our turns!

Reagan, What a cutie!
 
Mantua
This is going through Sardine Canyon, this is a lake that is not supposed to be a lake.  It's amazing the amount of water we received this year.

Fun with the Jameson's!!!
The weekend before I moved to Oregon, I met up with Marie & Mike at Wheeler Farms for a few hours.  They were headed to Texas for the summer!  It was a great weekend, and worked out perfectly!

Visit with The Mendosa's & EspirituSanto!!!
Elder Navarro's family was in Utah this weekend for a wedding!  It worked out perfectly so I could see them for a few hours!  They have an adorable family!
Cute bug that was in the parking lot when I was leaving so I took a picture of it! 
Zack's Graduation!
Last summer at the Loveland Reunion, I told Zack if he graduated I would be at his graduation.  So he was so surprised when I showed up at his house!  We stayed up and played games and talked!  After graduation we ate at the Olive Garden and then went back to their house and had Cake and Ice Cream!  Seeing the Jameson's, Mendosa's and Zack's graduation were all the same weekend!  It was fabulous!!
Had to take a picture of where Footloose was filmed!!
