4th of July

Hooray for Independence Day! 

We started our day with a ward pancake breakfast at the park/splash pad near our house.

  

  

We spent the afternoon watching World Cup soccer and prepping the house and yard for our PARTY.

Including our family, there were 32 people in attendance. The kids played inside, or outside in the water and on the trampoline. Russ grilled hot dogs and sausages. We ate lots of yummy food. Everyone danced (Just Dance). And we had ice cream. I think we'll definitely keep this holiday tradition.

After the party we headed out and found a spot to watch the fireworks (clearly, Ashlyn was a big fan).

Hope everyone else had as much fun as we did!

Father's Day 2014

Here's our attempt at a group shot of Daddy and his Girls on Father's Day.

It's pretty representative of our various attitudes toward taking pictures. 

Three cooperative girls. 

One who would rather do just about anything else.
