Happy 4th of July!

We really celebrated the 4th! On the 3rd we went with my parents and the Lees to the Utah Symphony in the Park. The kids loved marching to the patriotic tunes and eating cotton candy! On the 4th, we went to a swim party with Brad's family where Tess splashed all the water out the splash pool and ate all of Nana's ice cream bar. Then, we headed to the Lee's local festivities with a BBQ and fireworks on the street. The girls still had their "Lady Liberty" crowns on for the day. "Delirium" was the craziest firework you can purchase legally, but we got to see a spectacular show of fireworks by all the neighbors who love to break the law in celebration of our free county! He, he! We had a great holiday and are so grateful to live in this free nation where we are afforded so many wonderful blessings!

Camping with the Romney Clan

June 30, 2007
We went camping with my family to celebrate my parents' 30th wedding anniversary. It was so much fun! Tess and the other kiddos loved playing in the creek with Grandma and Grandpa! They are the best! It was fun to see the difference in how little boys and girls camp. Triston's kids seemed like they were born and raised in the mountains...oh wait, they were. Even though, the girls were a little less rough and tumble, they had fun taking walks with Grandma, playing kickball and softball, roasting hot dogs, picking flowers, and playing in the ice cold creek. They all loved getting dirty, including Tess! There's no place I'd rather be than enjoying the wild mountains on a summer day!

Drastic Difference

For all of you who have known me awhile, you'll know that I've never really changed my long hair. I've had it long since 8th grade. Well...I finally did it! Yeah! I hope you're all so proud of me that I didn't chicken out this time. I said I was gonna make a radical change, but everyone laughed it off and thought I'd probably just do the color and a little trim like usual. Nope! I cut off over 12 inches and donated it to Locks of Love. I hope some little girl will be happy! I love it and I feel so free without that mop!

Cabin Trip #2

June 23, 2007- We went to the cabin with Brad's family to relax and play! We took a few rides onthe ATVs and a short one with Tess for her first time. She was like a dog leaning out the window of a car. She loved the wind in her face! We sure love being up there!

More Fun Times & Pictures

Here are some fun pics of us playing around, camping with friends, Father's Day, and Lagoon.

Long time, no see

My friend, Amy, was finally in town and we all got together. She has been in New York the past several years and it was so much fun to catch up. I love being with the girls because, even though we don't see each other often, it's fun, comfortable, and seems like not much has really changed. Just wish we could all get together more!

Swim, Swim, Swim

Tess loves to swim! Brad is a fish and I guess she's just like him. I'm even beginning to like swimming. We go swimming and play in the water at least once a week if not more. We're now regulars at Aunt JaNae's pool day. Tess actually looks like she's trying to swim because she moves her arms and kicks her legs at the same time. She loves splashing, of course, and she doesn't even mind being dunked. She even likes to fall asleep in the pool. Check out those lovely chub-chub thighs and the cute sunglasses Whitney gave her!

Cabin Fever

We went to the cabin for the first time at the beginning of June. We couldn't wait anymore! Our friends, the Francos, came with us and we had a ton of fun while fishing, eating, playing Guitar Hero, roasting marshmallows, eating, playing in the river with the kids, eating, riding the mini-motorcycle, and did I mention eating! Tess loves the outdoors just as much as us... well, maybe a little more-she loves eating rocks. Silly girl! She's gonna be our little "Wild Billy the Mountain Girl" (like my dad used to call me).
