4th of July was a nice, relaxing day.
Favorite part of the day ~ picking out the fireworks
Amber hasn't been home for 4th of July in about 4 years (she's always been off at EFY) so she's REALLY excited to go buy fireworks.
Rob is making his traditional Vanilla Ice Cream. This year he also added an new one ~ chocolate ice cream With HIS chocolate in a ganache. Boy!!! That was heavenly!!
Trying something fun with sparklers :D
We then rushed off to Utah for an ultra fast visit with Robert, Jessica and Lizzie.
Waiting for our flight
One happy little girl to be in her Papa's arms
Our cool chica w/her Auntie Amber
Lovingly abusing her Uncle DayDay. And he's enjoying every minute!
Our beautiful eternal family
Lizze LOVES flowers. She can't get enough of touching and smelling. And she even pulled one out of the ground that we promptly replanted :D
This was one of those shots where Jessica saw us sitting and talking with each other. So she came and took a picture of us. This is now MY favorite picture of me and my son.
Our "family photographer", Cassie ~ of CLG Photography flew in too and took some family pictures and senior pictures of Amber. STILL WAITING to see the sneak peaks. But from what I saw from the camera screen, they are going to be amazing!!
Cassie had never been to SLC so it was a lot of fun to play tourist and take her to Temple Square and show her around.
The night we flew home, my friend Lynette was coming into town too. She was here for her niece's wedding. So we had a wonderful house guest for the weekend.
Giving Lynette a taste of summer in Washington
On Monday morning, Rob and David woke up at the "before crack of dawn" to head out for Scout Camp. Followed by Lynette heading home and then taking Amber to the meeting place for girls camp. What did that mean? Amy was ALONE for 2 days!!!!! What a treat!!!
Amy then headed off to Girls Camp where she was in charge of Humanitarian Service projects. And to shock everyone ~ I spent 2 nights AT camp. Slept in a tent with 3 other gals!!! I still don't "enjoy" camping but I LOVED being with the young women in our church.
Amber, Tabitha and Liz (my other daughter for the camp)
Tabitha and Amber in the talent show singing "Sister" from White Christmas
Then time to come home and get clean. Woohoo!! Sleep in my own bed again!!!!
We've also been harvesting from our garden. The yummiest lettuce EVER!!!
Needed to thin some of the carrots but the kids wanted to eat then anyway. And peas.
