Happy 4th

yes i know....i am way far behind, but hey, my book will be in order when i print it :)

for the 4th of july we headed over to the haslers for a fun little bbq

the baby wasnt feeling very well though :(

but we got a couple good ones :)

then we headed back to our house that evening and did some fireworks with the neighbors

the favorite of the night had to be the parachute man.....the first attempt, the wind took it way far away....the 2nd one was a dud....but third times a charm....it was awesome! the kids loved it! tyler especially!

lovin' the sparklers.....

and love tylers facial expressions when hes playing with them and then when they're all gone :)

hailey walked in when we were cleaning up and we walked in an she was OUT! :)

gotta love when they have too much fun!

great day! we grateful for our independence and the wonderful country we live in!!
HAPPY 4TH! 2010

Natalie again

these are basically all my pictures of this one lately

trying to do everything herself and getting a little carried away

or maybe she just knows that after a good eating escapade......

she  gets to get cleaned up (and play) in the sink :)

the hot tub

hailey decided the girls needed to relax

she told me they were in the hot tub...lol!

Lunch w/ Natalie

this is going to be where you find this child at lunchtime around here

i cant get the straps to go any tighter, so she wiggles right out of them

onto the table top of the highchair

and thinks it is soooooo funny!

:)

the cute cousins!

we were in st george for my brothers homecoming and couldnt miss the opportunity to take pictures of these cute little cousins!
we found this adorable little orchard in santa clara and it was perfect!!!

check out the pictures my sister took here

me and my mom were the "entertainers" :) we didnt do too good in being funny for hailey though....she did end up smiling at the end, but of course none of the other kids wanted to by then...but still...so cute...so cute!!

Elder Pierce Returns!!

 june 15th was the night he was supposed to be home....a delay in layovers held him back....he missed his flight from slc to st george.....so we patiently waited for him to arrive the next morning....and he did...and it was so exciting!!!

i was the videographer.....and my sister was the photographer....so check her pics out here...
