Yogurt please...

A little for you......and a little for me.Sisters sharing some yogurt before church. Yum!

4th of July...

We spent Independence Day on a houseboat exploring Lake Roosevelt with "the cousins" (as Eliza would say). We had a blast! The weather was beautiful, the scenery outstanding, and the company wonderful!Eliza and I on the top deck of the boat. She had a hard time imagining what this boat with a bed was going to look like...but she's still asking for us to go back on the houseboat!We enjoyed playing in the sand......and the clay.The brave ones spent time in the cold water and going down the slide.The rest soaked up the warm water in the hot tub!Of course, there was book reading. I love Talia in this picture...completely enthralled by a book we read over and over and over...There was some spectacular fishing that took place...by some pretty talented fishermen.Lots of playing with the cousins. (Talia and Maddox)Some, uh, modeling? I have no explanation for this picture.We definitely got dirty......but it was too much fun being in the sand!The boating, tubing, and skiing was excellent!Talia, me, and Eliza enjoying the hot tub.Cousin hot tub time!What a great way to celebrate our nation's independence!All the cousins on top of the boat.Happy 4th of July!

Rub-a-dub-dub!

The one and only time I have been able to get my girls to bathe at the same time. I know the odds of it happening again are not good...thus, it was picture worthy. My almost 3 year old only takes showers...sigh.

Bishop gathering...

The Bishop family made their way to the Tri-Cities the last weekend in June. We joined them for a bbq dinner on Friday night in the park.Then on Saturday we participated in sealings at the temple with everyone. Here are all the Bishop siblings and their spouses. Quite a group!Then a picture of all of us. A nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon. It was great to visit and see everyone!
