Kit kitridge the Movie is finally here.

Part of Madeline's Birthday present was a ticket to see the movie Kit Kitridge The American Girl. She was so excited and kept asking is today July 2nd for a week. Finally the day came and we went to the first showing. Conner, Brynn , Olivia and Elle came too.

Happy Fourth of July!

We had a really fun fourth of July. We went with all our cousins to the movie Walley, and then went to Pizza Factory. Then we went swimming at our house and did fire works out front. It turned out to be a fun day.All the kids waiting for Mark to do the big show.







Grandma made really cute and yummy sugar cookies.

Bear World here we come

One of the highlights of our trip was Bear World. The kids and adults had so much fun. You can just drive through the park and see lots of wild life and lots of bears. Mark and I also took a ride on top of a bus that let us feed the bears that was so cool to be so close to them. They had a petting zoo and little rides for the kids it was really a lot of funThey had little baby deer that were only a week old in the petting zoo.

Waterfalls!! Waterfalls!!

On the second day in Yellowstone we visited all the cool water falls. They were so spectacular just breathtaking

This was the last bit of snow left in the park. Oh my look at that belly.

Big Springs in Island Park

We went to Big Springs just down the street from were we camped that had these huge fish you could feed. One problem the mesquito's are like nothing you have ever seen before thousands and thousands sworming around. So we sprayed and ran down to see then ran back for safety. ( of course we got a few pictures in the hurry)Mark said I looked like the Una Bomber

What good sports they were trying so hard to smile, but just wanted to run for cover.

Old faithful here we come

We made it to old faithful just in time we didn't have to wait at all. Now that was lucky. We are so glad Marks parents could meet us up there at Yellowstone it was fun to be with them.Olivia and Papa
Here's the gang at Old Faithful.

A day at the St. Anthony Sand Dunes

We spent a day at the sand dunes it was so awsome. I have never seen dunes that tall before, and so smooth I think you could go forever. Grandma was real sport she got in back with the girls and off we went.

The wild flowers were in bloom and so amazing it looked almost like snow .I think Madeline and Conner's favorite thing was playing games.
Olivia and Brynn at an old ghost town we visited.
The kids coloring while we packed everything to head home. What a fun trip this was we were sad to leave, and have to head home to 108 degree weather.

A night out at Tuacahn with the Sound of Music

We went to the Sound of Music with Amber and Brynn, and the girls loved it! They sang all the songs all the way through. We had a great time except for the 107 degree weather, but some how a made it through.

Madeline and Brynn got a picture with Maria. Maddy was so excited. Olivia didn't make it that far before she fell asleep.
And of course the Nun
What a sweet heart she held out as long as she could.
As you can see the were so tired. The minute we hit the car they were out like a light.
