July 3rd

On July 3rd we went to Bill's Berry Farm. 

 Silly Lydia!

 We picked a lot of blueberries...and they were good!

 They eventually had to be taken out of Lydia's reach...she was in heaven!

 That night we let off of few fireworks at our house (mostly sparklers)!

 Dallan, April, and boys had driven up from Utah and joined in the celebration!

 Why are boys just naturally drawn to fire and anything that explodes?

 Talia and Briella!

Cousins and the Music Man

 Greg, Kelly, Ryan, and Briella came to visit the end of June into July.  We loved spending time with them!

We went to the splash park one day.

 Eliza, Bella, Talia

Then we got a night out to go watch Sarah, Myanna, Alissa, and Bella perform in the Music Man.

It was an awesome venue outside and they were all amazing!  And some how the survived the 100 degree heat we had for days on end!

Bella "playing" the piano. 

 Myanna dancing.

Kelly and the performers!

Hague Reunion!

June 26-27 Grandpa and Grandma Great Hague held their Hague reunion in Yakima.

 We did a lot of swimming at Aunt Sheila's since it was a million degrees outside!  I'm pretty sure Eliza could hang out there all summer!

 Eliza and Talia with Uncle Pepe...they were so excited to see him!

Us with Grandpa and Grandma Great.  We love them dearly!

Talia's teeth

 Talia had to have some dental work done this summer.  She had 6 cavities and 2 teeth that had to be pulled!  Not my finest mom moment!  We decided to have her put under and get it all done at once.  She was such a trooper.

She was absolutely hilarious when her "sleepy medicine" started to kick in.  But when she was all done she didn't like coming out of it. 

 Her sisters were very concerned for her when she got home.  Lydia giving her some love!

 Eliza even made her a crown while she was gone and presented it to her when we got home.

 Here's to more brushing, flossing, brushing some more...and hopefully no more cavities!

Happy Father's Day!

Father's Day started on Saturday for our dads this year.

 We went swimming and celebrated with Grandpa before headed out of town.

 Cassie, Kylie, and McKenna got to come swim too!

 Then Sunday we got to spoil our daddy! The best part of the day was just having him home with us!

 We sure do love our daddy!

 Happy Father's Day!

Summer at the pool

 We spend a good portion of our summer at the swimming pool.

 Eliza's favorite thing this summer was perfecting her handstands.

 Swim lessons.

Fire pit

Roasting smores on our fire pit at home.

Good start to the summer.

Last day of school!

Eliza's last day of first grade was on June 12th...we were ready for summer to begin!

 She was so excited because she got to celebrate her summer birthday at school the last week too!

 We headed to Cocolalla after Eliza got out of school...and the only pictures I took were of Lydia trying chocolate pudding for the first time.  Go figure.

Happy Birthday to me!

I turned 30 something in June...I hate that I have to spend 10 minutes figuring out how old I am now.  Pathetic.

 My birthday was spent running around with Darran for a few hours, not having to cook dinner, and eating a yummy ice cream cake.  Pretty perfect.

Another year come and gone...but at least it was spent surrounded by the ones I love!
