So long to Summer. . . Part 1

As you all know, I kinda got sidetracked from the blog. . but as I listen to the wind blow tonight bringing the storm that will probably give us our first snow of the season. . . I decided to post a few more pictures from our fun summer. . .we enjoyed every minute of it!!

A very exciting thing happened to our street - the city actually repaired it so that is it smooth and nice to drive on - no more hills and valleys as you drive into our cul-de-sac!! The Bakers were here the last couple of days while the work was being done - we had fun watching from the front porch!



Then a couple of days after the street was finished, the water retention pond behind our house overflowed and our intersection was majorly flooded for couple of hours. The boys got in on that fun, also!
Grandpa and Grandma and the Bakers at the company picnic in Orem. Grandpa got to be in the dunk tank, we ate lunch, they had balloons, cotton candy, and prizes for the kids.
Did I mention that these pictures are not exactly in order - just a smattering of fun summer days!! Here are a couple of pics from the 4th of July again - Lauren, Kaleen and Shaylyn taste testing the homemade ice cream!
Curt cooking his famous shish-ka-bobs for everyone.
We had a great time at our Hedges Family Reunion in Pocatello - the weather was great, we had almost 100 people there which meant our attendance was close to 100% also!! Lots of young great grandchildren - Rebecca helped me organize game and activity stations to keep them busy. Of course the squirt bottles were the big hit - even Grandpa got in on the fun!!
Andy, Declan, John, Christian, Nathan, Matt
Rebecca and Jessica, Curt, Mitzi and Shaylin, Jayna and Emmalyn
Grandpa and Grandma with all 21 of their living grandchildren - a special day!The big group shot. . . 4 new babies since last year - Jessica and Emmalyn in our family and Silar and Taylor in David's family.


Christian with the blocks. . . Christian and Declan playing at the sand and water table at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point - the blue aprons do help keep their clothes dry and clean. . .

Enjoying lollipops at Sundance. . .even Jessica!!
Oh what fun they had at our nearby creek - the boats were so fun to float down the stream!!
