Matt's brithday

Sunday was Matt's birthday. Matt's parents came down for the occassion and went to church with us. After church we went home to start the party. The Jones family came over and we had BBQ beef, watermelon, baked beans, chips, and corn. Boy was it good to eat. Matt ended up gettng Rockband for the Wii. So we set it up and played for a while. Chuck was great on the drums with Hunter and Austin. Debbie did great as well. Sarah and Taylor did some good singing. Of course Matt played on the bass. At the end of the party Sarah found hair on the ground. Yes, Megan found the sicssors and cut the ends. She then went to Conner's hair and gave it a little trim. I was embarrest!!! Thanks to Chuck and Debbie for coming down and the Jones's for celebrating Matt's 31st.

Birthdays in July

We have lots of Birthdays in July. We celebrated all of them on Kyle's birthday, Saturday. It was fun. My mom's birthday was on the 17th, so all the girls went out for lunch on her birthday to the Rainforrest Cafe. We then went to do a little shopping and found some presents for Kyle's birthday. We had a fun time getting together. Friday, I took the kids over to Matt's work to surprise him with some treats. It was fun trying to surprise him and then took him to McDonalds for the kids to run around, Matt and Melissa Long came with us to join in on the fun!!! Saturday was the party and we all had fun but after a while the kids were acting so tired so thanks to all that was there and Matt's fun presents. Sorry I didn't have the camera with me.

4th of July

Well I know this is late but I left my camera at Chuck and Debbie's house and they were sweet enough to bring it to me. So Matt had the weekend off from work so we decided to go up to Cottonwood for a visit. Austin, Megan, and Orrin all went swimming with daddy and aunt Niki. Aunt Niki is a very good swimmer and she showed Austin how to swim. Thanks Aunt Niki. We made 4th of July tee shirts with sponges, stintcles and paint. The kids had a fun time. Chuck had pick a whole of of Apricots and we canned them. The Badgers and Jones were there for the celebration as well. The Badgers had never been to Sedona so since it was literally a 45 min. drive there we decided to take the drive and let Chuck and Debbie have a quiet house for a while. Chuck was the main cook for both Friday and Saturday and boy it was all good!! We went up Mingus mountain to watch the fireworks and we waited a while but once the fireworks got started the kids thought that it was lasting too long. Saturday was all about the boys going golfing. It was nice that the rain was there. We never get to see the rain so boy that was a nice treat for us. We had a lot of fun with Grandma and Grandpa Welly, the Jones, the Wellys, and the Badgers. Thanks to everyone.
