Princess Jenna, Alaina, and Kylie

Jenna's favorite pasttime of late: dress-up

A long flight home

After a miserable red-eye flight sitting next to a much larger man, squished with two little girls in my lap, we finally made it home to North Carolina and a much deserved rest.

The Angry American

Isn't that sweet. What a hunk!!!

Two Tough Guys

How cute is that

Hannah-bug went to play with Aunt Ally and Uncle Rob while we went to the concert.

Daddy and Jenna

This Fourth of July, Brent received tickets for the Jonas Brothers Concert at BYU Stadium of Fire. This morning, Jenna was telling Keaton that she was, "freakin out" because she was going to see them. We all dressed in our red, white, and blue and met with hundreds of other military families down on the field. It was a fun concert, but afterwards everyone said that Richfield is better. We will be so excited to go back to Richfield next summer.

Utah Lake Boating

Jenna looks bored. Maybe she wants to go faster. :-)

Daddy and Jenna

One of the few times Brent let me drive. I'm still quite terrified of it.

As you can tell, Kara got hold of the camera. Thanks Kara

Ty

Here they are having so much fun.

Kara and Tyler begged Dad to get out the tube. I'm thinking Kara is wishing she hadn't been so adamant. Brent really gave them a ride.

Mom, Hannah, and Jenna. Hannah did not enjoy this outing as much as the rest of us. In fact, she cried most of the day, except when she was sleeping.

Jenna and Kara on the knee board

Fun in the sun + boating = tons of fun.

Mormon Miracle Pagent in Manti

Me and Brent

Landon, Brook, and Kayla

The 3 K's. Karlee, Kara, and Kayla


The Barkers met us there with some investigators from their neighborhood. Here is Derick, Ty, and Jenna.

It was very cold. Luckily we brought lots of blankets. I just wish we had worn warmer clothes. Hannah loves to snuggle with Daddy.

Manti Temple

Jenna and Kara like to ham it up in the truck on the way down.

This June, Brent and I took the kids to the Manti "Miracle" Pagent that is held at the Manti Temple Grounds each June. It tells the story of the Restoration of the Gospel in America.

Strawberry Days!!

There is nothing like fresh strawberries and cream, sheep, horses, bulls, and cows. Mix that with dirt and a bunch of kids and everyone has a great time. The prices and Grandma and Grandpa came to join us at the Rodeo in Pleasant Grove this year.

Reading with Derick

Cousin Derick came for a visit and treated Jenna and Hannah to some good old reading. He is just 5 and knows how to read.

Jenna's 4th Birthday Bash

Another Awesome cake by Dad!!!

Cute Girls!!!

The Water Slide

Kara and Megan did a fabulous job hanging the decorations.

Dino-decorations

Jenna is probably the only 4-yr old girl who forgoes a Princess party in favor of a Dinosaur party. We played pin the nose on the triceratops; digging for dinos; Hot dinosaur egg; and many other games made up by mom to entertain several young girls, ending in a scavenger hunt for prizes, but the best part of the party was the huge inflatable slide that Wendy let us borrow.
