Tauphus Park ZOO!!

While Brady was playing in a golf tourney in Idaho Falls this summer, and Kelly was supervising Brady's game, I took Bran and Reese to the ZOO!  Oh it was great fun!  Bran's heaven on earth is a zoo!  I did however, convince him to leave his guns in the car.  It took a lot of doing - but we decided to look and not hunt this time.  : )

We're going to the zoo zoo zoo --- how about you you you --- we're going to the zoo!!

Dancin' At the Fair- Again

So while Rae was messing with horses and walking around in her crown at the fair, Reese was dancing.  Yes - her class has had the chance to dance at the fair for the last few years.  She loves it!

Reese really loves dance! 
She is taking her regular jazz and ballet class with Dezi - and adding a lyrical class with her this year that she is excited about.  She has also been interested in trying pointe for years (she asked for pointe shoes for Christmas several years in a row - and has had fun trying them out).  The instructor that Rae dances with called me and said that she had a beginning pointe class this year that Reese could try.  Yes!  Reese was so excited about it - so we're giving that a try too. 
She's gotta dance! 
And Kelly's got her golfing . . .  
And I'm keeping her going on piano . . .
And she is Bran's full time babysitter . . . 
And she's gonna be in Young Women's so soon . . .
She's one great girlie!!

MUD

By far Reese's favorite event of the summer was playing mud volleyball!  That is all she has talked about!  We did it for a combined youth activity - and I brought Reese and Bran with me and Reese ended up playing.  She wasn't dressed for playing : ) but this awesome mom got all the mud outta the clothes!!  Oh she was happy!!

 The Grover Ward!  We are Tough Mudders!!  Can you find Brady??

 I told Brady and his friends to pose for me . . . .

 But a mud wrestling match broke out instead!

Oh the fun they had!!

Handsome Boys!

 It is a rare thing when I can get these handsome boys to pose for a picture - so I took advantage of their amiable moods and handsomeness and got a group shot. : )  These are my men!  How I love them! 

Swimming Fun

 Yahoo!  Summer!  Swimming!  Fun!

Good times : )

Summer Stuff

We spent a lot of time this summer going to parades and waving at Rae. 

 She had a really fun summer.  She enjoyed these girls a lot this year.

 Grandma and Grandpa always showed up too!  : ) 

 Rae even took Bran to the fair to ride on rides this year! Oh I love Rae!

The Star!

Reese and I decided to make the trek to "The Star" earlier this summer (yep, gotta catch up) and we had a great time.  What a view!  It was really fun!

 We made it!!

 I love LOVE Star Valley!!
