BUSY Summer.

July and August have been really busy for us!  I went home during the summer to help my daddy farm :)  I can't explain the beautiful feeling I get when I'm home on the farm :). These are from the swather. So they are bad because 1-the window was dirty and 2-because my cell camera sucks.

Dozer asleep on the ride up there :) And Dozer looking at the pigs at the fair!  This one was extra curious about the people walking around and Dozer loved letting it touch his hand!  He would NOT hold still! He had such a fun time during the short time we spent at the fair. We didn't go on any rides, but he didn't seem interested. I figured this year was the last year I can get away with not going on rides! We had a snow cone, drink, food, saw all the animals, and he loved that children's play area! Fun! 

My little sister is in the theater program in rock springs, and my mom and I went to go see one of her performances!! It was SO funny! I am SO glad I went to see it! Not that I wouldn't have wanted to see it, it's just hard to travel with little kids. And I didn't know what to do with them or how they would sleep or how they would act. But my sister's sweet sweet room mate watched them for me during the performance so I could watch. And they slept better than I thought they would that night! Huge plus!

The story is about a young shoe salesman who is about to inherit $4 mil. But in order to get it he has to take his uncle's body (whom he has never met) to Monte Carlo. The dead guys wife (my sister) is trying to find them to steal the money back! This guy in the picture is the dead uncle. He didn't crack a smile the WHOLE TIME. Even when they left him onstage during intermission!! All the people were going and taking pictures of themselves with him. Everyone was cracking up. We added princess and got a lot of good laughs :) SO FUN!!!

 We stayed in their dorm that night. This is the next morning. Princess climbed up on my sis and got stuck between the cushions. AND SAT THERE! If you know her at all, SHE DOESN"T SIT. So it was a big deal.

Then I had my high school reunion.  10 YEARS?! Really?? It was a hard thing to wrap my head around!  It was simple, but I was so glad I went! I got to see a ton of people I hadn't seen in a long time! It was even better because a bunch of us (grads and spouses) all went to college together. So the spouses were having the reunion too! Fun fun times! It was a little sad because some of the people I haven't seen in a long time are dear friends. And I probably wont see them for a long time again :(. That made it hard to say goodbye. 

The next weekend we had our annual family party at my grandma's house :) this year themed cowboys and indians.  I made these costumes!! I was pretty impressed with myself.

We did family pics, played games all night, played at the park, FOOD, FOOD, FOOD, and star gazed. :)  I love my family so much. It really is such a cherished event that makes so many memories. 

THEN we went to Bear Lake the very next weekend!!! It was the most PERFECT day I have ever been to Bear Lake!  It was high 80s, slight to no breeze, NO clouds, calm water. PERFECT!  We were in the water ALL DAY LONG. Dozer was having the time of his summer!  He usually darts and runs away ALL the time, but he stayed close! He didn't wander out into the water too bad either! He was wearing a life jacket, but still. He's not that great of a swimmer. We went out on the boat, I took Dozer on the tube, we dove off the side, swam around. It was beautiful. It will be hard to top that day. 

my hubby has most of the pics on his phone because the batteries in my camera died :(.  Here is Princess with her cousin K. CUTIES!!
