McBride's Theater Performance

Jackson and Julie McBride participate in a theater camp during the summer and we went to see their performance. Carter loved it and wanted to go again the next night. He is looking forward to joining next year when he is old enough.

Playing at the park with Monica

A favorite friend and babysitter, Monica Phair, swinging with Aleeya.

Ballon Volleyball at the Smith's

We enjoyed a neighborhood BBQ at the home of Steve and Jamie Smith. One of the fun events was a ballon volleyball game.
That is a serious action shot!

Together in Harmony Music Camp

Serena participated in a music camp and they learned patriotic songs to sing in the parade. They rode on a trailer and sang. She went with Dad to the starting point and then he joined us on the parade route.
Waving a flag. She loved being in her "july herade."

Layton Fourth of July Parade

We celebrated the Fourth of July by attending the Layton Parade. Serena was on a float with her music camp group, so family from both sides came to enjoy the fun. Granny Dearden, Grandpa Dearden, Aunt Staci and Aleeya.

Aleeya, Great Grandma Olsen, Grandma Hoppie

My Birthday Celebration

Following the parade we had lunch and presents at our house to celebrate my birthday.

Hugs from beautiful girls are the best presents. From Mom, I got a picture of the Sacred Grove for the piano room and a spring wreath for the front door.

Swimming with McBrides

Serena got more brave everytime we went swimming.Carter is a pro and without his jacket he can kick and "swim" in the pool.
Aleeya and Camry had a great time jumping into Jenni's arms. Check out Serena's swimsuit, it had a serious creaping problem!
We love our Jenni. It was so nice for me to just sit in the shade and the kids played and played and played!
