4th of July Party at Aaron and Kristin's

 

 

We had a great 4th of July this year at Aaron and Kristin's home in Hooper. 

 

 But first, here is a picture of our very first, original stroller when we had Eric.  My sister, Wendy and her husband, got this for us...let's see, umm...18 years ago?  Something like that and we used it for every! single! child!

 

It was such an awesome stroller!  We had it stored in the garage the last few years, and finally decided to let it go....such a sad day!  It's so dirty in these pictures (it wasn't always like that, I promise), but  it served its purpose.  Anthony and Wendy, thanks so much for giving us such an awesome stroller!  You definitely got your money's worth!  We loved this little thing!  sniff...sniff...

 

 



I will get to the 4th of July party, I promise, but for now, enjoy Dallin's 53 mosquito bites he received on his neck at scout camp this summer.  They looked worse than this at the time....these pictures just don't do justice!  Poor guy.  He was pretty miserable.

 



And now for the party!  Aaron and Kristin invited the Jones clan to their home for a barbeque, some fireworks, and great company!  We had so much fun!

 



Smile, Ryan and Malissa.  Good job, you guys!  :)

 



We forgot to have the little ones bring their swimming suits, but Jacob didn't care.  He just went in his shorts.  A little thing like that wasn't going to stop him (even if he did have to ride home in the car in wet clothes)!  Funny kid!

 



Cute Owen.  Man, these cousins are growing up too!

 

 



Spencer and Kyle.  These guys are only 2 weeks apart, and yes, Spencer is older.  Kyle will grow eventually, won't he?  (I think he's a little worried about it, but I keep telling him it will be okay)...he better get taller than me, or we're in trouble!  :)

 



Jacob and Sierra.  These guys are about 2 and 1/2 months apart, and yes, Jacob is older this time.  What do you expect from a short mom like me?  Oh well, that's life, I guess.  There are worse things than being short, aren't there?

 



We had a wonderful time playing with cousins and being together as a family.  Thanks, Joneses, for being such awesome hosts!
