Utah Fun

We spent 10 days in Utah during the month of June and I can't even begin to remember everything we did, so I'll let the pictures do the talking...

 Fischer meeting Kirby...

 Fischer walking (he started soon after his birthday)

Of course, a lot of time in the pool!

To The Lagoon!

 Remember that time I tricked my daughter into going on a ride I was pretty sure she wouldn't like?? Oh yeah, and I made my sister take her.

Traditional Dippin' Dots

To Logan

 Second Dam

 This is one scaredy girly.

 Don't know if you can see, but there was a whole bunch of ducklings on that log.

Cousin Brody and Fischer

 An all time fav, playing in Grandma's ditch!

 On to boat racing...

 Can't forget our Dempsie Lou!

 Kellie's burrito.  I'm so proud of her for trying to eat this...

 Off to Ellis Elementary

Poor Emory wakes up so many times during the night to go to the bathroom, and she's so tired she sometimes doesn't quite make it back into bed!

Emory's Birthday and Baptism

Emory turned 8 on June 10th, 2013.  The weekend before, we had a party with some of her friends.  Nothing big, since we were getting ready for a trip to Utah, but still fun!  She had our usual gang, the Scotts and Browns, but also had some of our fun neighbors, Brandon/Ethan and Cody/Camille.  We went for a Slumberless Slumber Party theme.  Everyone wore PJs and brought a book to donate to Doernbecher.  We had some fun old school games like Hanging Donut, Pictionary, Red Rover, Pictionary, and lawn Twister.

After that we had an ice cream sundae bar and then popped in Ella Enchanted (Emory recently finished the book, and wanted to watch it).  It was a fun night with friends, and I officially hate friend birthday parties.  I don't know how people do them every year?!

On her actual birthday she got a surprise breakfast in bed of Bacon Waffles.  I love this girl's wacky sense of taste, she loves the strangest things that you think kids shouldn't!

Fischer was there!

A couple days after Emory's birthday we flew to Utah and on the following Saturday she was baptized by Cory.  We had lots of friends and family come and support, it was such a great day!  She had such an amazing, spiritual and emotional experience and it was the best feeling that two parents could ask for!

 Uncle Animal, one of her Best Friends.

This picture encompasses them and their relationship to "T"!

 Grandma and Grandpa Chris

 Everyone that was there early enough for pictures!

 Great Grandma Audrey and Bill

Too much good stuff to eat.
