July 4th week

Our favorite Kodras came to NM for the week.

We played at the pool, lots of laughs swimming together

Those old enough went to ToyStory 4. I loved it and it was fun to each get our own icee

The next day was the 4th of July did the traditional parade and carnival and BBQ at Mom and Dads. Rode our bikes to Overlook for a good view of the fireworks, but didn't get any pictures there in the dark. Elle and Conway rode their own bikes and got lost in the crowd riding home, luckily the spotted Uncle Westley and were able to follow him home.

Britton did a super awesome flag ceremony with the kids on our personal flag pole, going to make this a tradition

cant BBQ at Grandma and Grandpa's without hot tubing and splashing.

Family purchased firework show, boys made a trip to the fire work hut and put on a good show. shooting tanks at the audience, and scarying the kids back into the house

Friday night Grandma and Grandpa babysat and we all went to dinner and bowling. Always love a night out but with these people is MY FAVORITE!

Let's just say none of us are ready to join a bowling league.

Saturday we relived an activty we did in 2012 when Conway was the only grandchild. We drove to Santa fe and caught the Roadrunner train to ABQ. this time we had the Dad's drive the cars to the train depot. We did lunch at Tucanos, which Conway, and Wyatt loved! Then we used the cars to head to the Zoo. The return trip on the train was to late for our crew so it helped with have the vehicls to get home in the afternoon.

 The train ride was so much fun, we did lots of seat hopping and would you rather game.

It was a hot day at the zoo so i think everyone's favorite part was the ice cream treat we got for a snack

The next day was the most special, with Macey Graces blessing Sunday at church. She is the most beautiful girl and we can not remember life with out her. She got to the wear the same blessing dress as her big sisters, made from their Mama's wedding dress it is stunning!

Loved all being together, the Kodras are amazing! It was their farewell visit to the Ridgecrest house since Mom and Dad are playing on moving in August. so many great memories in this home.

Last day for School

Last couple weeks of School

 3rd Grade Wax Musum project. Conway chose to research Walt Disney. He did a great job memoriezing his lines and i think he enjoyed the mustache fo rthe day.

Good Bye 3rd Grade we will miss Mrs. lee and Mrs. Torres Conway loved having both teachers all year and be able to 

Good Bye  Ms Best. Elle loved school and went through 3 pairs of tennis shoes, which i think means it was a great year.

 Peace out Until August we will be in the water!

Conway's birthday Macey's BIRTH

Utah June

 The Revos invited us for their second annual Luau at teh hom ethis summer. Maressa participates in a hawaiian dance class in layton area where they used to live and then started her own group in Richmond where they live now, so both groups combine to do a huge luau for the families and community. Their home and yard is perfect for this and it was so much fun to go and help. I brought her some left over wedding fabric and we made her giant curtains for her porch. Didn't get any Luau pictures myself, which was a bummer.

We stayed in Moab on our way to Utah. Rykers' first time not sleeping in a crib, he was so excited from traveling he eventually fell asleep but was the last one

The hotel had a fun pool so we did a little swimming while Dad went on a bike ride.

 this boy loves the water, but is fine laying beach side when he gets cold.

All the cousins got to sleep in their awesome basement

We love playing rock band with the Revo's, we need lots of practice though

the day of set up for the luau was the coldest day we were there. Wanted to keep the kids out the way so i drug them to the near by Splash park, we were the only ones brave enough to get in and all their lips instantly turned blue we went to play on the playground after that.

Seth and Ashlee's family came to Utah for a reunion of Ashlee's family and timed it perfect to make it to the luau too. The next morning we all played at the park and got snowcones. My favorite

Since Logan is right by there we got to see Cooper and Hannah, they tiny apartment was so cute and Hannah even let me and Maressa crash one of the yoga classes she was teaching.
