"O What do you do in the Summer Time?"


The boys started out going with Daddy to see the helicopters. Preston checked out a book about them at the library so he knew all about them. He was so funny when he read about the Hell Fire Missile. He knew it was a bad word.




Jeremy had a customer to visit in Manti so we got lucky and got a room at the roach motel and went to the Manti Pageant. We got married there 12 whole years ago and that was the first time we have been back to Manti since. The pageant was OK because they sure tried to make it dramatic. The Narrator was really funny. I did get to have a funnel cake and I ate the whole thing. As you all know I am a trailer trash carnie!


Oh for cute! I just love you Jer.
Here is Sydnie's annual Fathers Day party. She is so great at making every one feel special. The kids just love doing these things.
My baby girl turned 10 this year. Preston made her that awesome crown. She had crepes for breakfast and since she was supposed to have a family party she invited her 2 best friends out for pedicures. She has been friends with Kate since birth and Taylor since they were 3. We went to lunch and had a great girls day. Cute little Taylor had open heart surgery today in California. She had a valve that was giving out. Please remember her in your prayers. She has a website called helptaylor.com She is so cute and fun. You'll never guess where we went for dinner(Attn Sargents) Chuck a rama! We got there early so the food was fresh and it was pretty good. The only bad thing was all the old people perfume. Where do they find that stuff!? And why do they have to use so much!?

For the 4th of July we went camping to my Aunts ranch. It is down in the middle of no where off on some 30 mile dirt road. But boy was it fun. They have 20 acres fenced off with like 20 foot fences with barbed wire to keep the bears and cougars out. They have built dirt bike trails all around. There is a pond, huge grass fields, and thank goodness, showers and toilets! We had so much fun and the kids are ready to go back.



Here is our cute family in our Bear Hollow shirts. Please pardon my no make up.
This is our dance party. We also had church at this amphitheater. It was so great.
We went to the church history museum. It was fun to see the real angel Moroni. The kids practiced some conference talks too just in case.
Over the 24th we went to my Mom's cabin at Bear Lake. This is the kind of camping I really like. The kids had a blast on the tubes. They love trying to kill Ryan and Matt on the tubes. It is so funny to watch them all go. We laugh so hard it hurts. Jer took the kids wake boarding too. Even Sophie wanted to go. I of course didn't take my camera that day. On the last day Preston and Sydnie promised they would go. By the time we got out it was so windy and choppy. They did it any ways and cried the whole time. Preston said he'll do it again but Syd said she won't. I had to buy her a webkins just to do it. But now Grandma has a wake board just their size. So who knows maybe they will soon be doing back flips like Ryan!

The next week we got to hang out with the Mower cousins from Arizona. We went to the Gateway and had a great time. Poor Sophie was sick though and she was so good to let us drag her around all day.

Sydnie just loves Paige and Gentry. It was so great to see them before they start school. We love you guys. Come back soon and good luck at dental school!
