Family Pictures 2012!

There's always an overload of pictures when family pictures are taken, right? I have uploaded them, but in no particular order and I have too much blogging to do to arrange them right now! :) Enjoy!

JULY RECAP

WARNING: THIS IS THE LONGEST BLOG POST EVER!

The company that Tim and I work for, USSynthetic, gave everyone an ipad2 for winning the Shingo Prize. Yes, that means we got TWO ipad2's! It's something that I would have never bought for myself, but now that I have it, I LOVE it! We'll probably end up selling our second one.

USSynthetic also rents out the movie theatre for some of the big movies that come out. We got to go see the last Harry Potter the day before it came out. It was like a sneak peak. It was soooo good and did NOT disappoint! I'm kind of sad it's over. :(

After we went to Bryce Canyon we brought Laynie home with us. Laynie is one of Addi's favorite cousins. She spent the whole week. We went to fireworks at Thanksgiving Point. The girls' got glitter toes and Laynie got a feather in her hair. Tim took the kids to Mr. Popper's Penguins, we got snow cones and watched some Red Box movies. It was a fun week! When I was a kid I spent lots of time with my cousins during the summers, I want my kids to do the same.

We signed Addi up for golf camp with her friend, Haven. She had been golfing with her dad a few times and seemed really interested in it. She loved golf camp and really wants her own golf clubs. Now Tim will always have a golfing partner!

I got to go on a much needed girls' trip to Park City. My mom, sister and I went on Friday morning. We started at Tai Pan of course, cause that's our FAVORITE place. Then we headed to Park City. We shopped A LOT and then had dinner at the Red Rock. On Saturday I met my friends at the outlets and we shopped all day. Then we had lunch at Ruby Tuesday. It was such a great weekend!

Our work lets us rent out big blow up movie screens for free. We decided to have a neighborhood movie under the stars. We watched "How to Train Your Dragon". It was a huge success and we're definitely going to do it again next summer, but we'll probably have it at the park next time.

Tiffany and the kids were here for the whole month of July. The first part of the month, when Dave was still here we got family pictures taken in my parents beautiful yard.

The whole family.

Our family.

All of the grandkids.

The kids had fun playing together!

Swimming in my parent's amazing backyard:

The 24th of July get together! We made tie dye shirts, painted the kids faces and watched the fabulous Mapleton fireworks. We have the perfect seat in town, my parents backyard. The fireworks get better and better each year!

While in Mapleton for the 24th of July weekend, they had a ping pong ball drop from a helicopter. Each kid gets one ping pong ball and if they call your number, you get one of 40 bikes. Well, Hally was a lucky winner! She won this bike! She got to go on stage and say her name in the microphone. It was really exciting!

Since she already had a cuter bike this same size, she decided to let us take it back and trade it for a bike Addi's size since Addi was in serious need of a new bike. She was such a good sport about it. I hated that she was giving up the bike she'd won, but she didn't care at all. Hally is such a sweetie pie!

Kendall's being silly! :)

We decided to take her training wheels off and she learned to ride in like 2 minutes! GO HALLY BEAR!

Addi and her cool new bike, all thanks to Hally!
