The entire month of July is always so much fun when you live in Kamas valley. Between all the celebrations in Oakley, Kamas and then Francis over labor day, we manage to stay pretty busy and the summer just seems to fly by. I can't believe we're already into the second week of July! Over the weekend Greg and I went to the Oakley rodeo, the girls were in the parade for their dance class, we watched my nephew play baseball, went to a couple different barbeque's and I have very few pictures to show for it all. The parade is always a big deal for the girls. They practice all the time and I feel like the worst mother. I didn't get one picture! I hate to admit it but I couldn't even find Gracie on her float and I didn't even find Hayden till after she was past me and it was too late to get a good photo. I'm hoping if someone got a picture they will e-mail one to me. I did get one of them when we picked them up.
After we went to the parade we went to the Crandall's for our annual 4th party and spent most the rest of the day there. Erica is always gracious enough to let us party at her house because she has a great view of the fireworks after the rodeo. We had lunch and dinner there and the kids played in the water then did a few "legal" fireworks of their own. Chandler loved the sparklers and I was a nervous wreck the whole time she was doing them. Thank goodness she was done after 3.
Then Saturday we slept in and hung out at home then went to another barbecue at Greg's friend Kimmies. We were all exhausted from all the fun. Hayden got the chance for her vacation in Salem. Of course she had a ball and didn't want to come home because they always get spoiled by grandma and Aunt Jamie and she ended up staying 4 nights instead of the 2 were originally planning on. Both her sisters missed her terribly and gave lots of 'huggies' and big kisses when she got home! Now we're just gearing up for the next round of partying. The 24 is the Fiesta Days in Kamas and Spanish Fork and my baby's 2nd birthday is on the same weekend so it will be non-stop I am sure! This time I plan on getting better pictures!

Great post! Those girls are beautiful--the only girls I did manage to find on the flat were Gabby, your girls, and Billie Jo's! They are always so cute, but Allen got some good pictures. I don't know who they include, but he did get pics. Families are the best!
How fun! There might be some pictures of the girls on the BMDC blog... at least of Hayden. If I get an e-mail of either of them I will also give it to you. Looks like you guys had a blast...summer is so crazy up there, but so so fun. Thanks for the update!
I can't wait to come up for our vacation to Kamas. Millie and Si are excited to see the girls. Kamas is so fun during the summer. I have such great memories of growing up there during the beautiful summer days. I can't wait to see you guys!

You think between the both of us and five girls we could have snapped ONE picture at the parade. I was a little crazy but I went to the BMDC blog and pulled a few off. I hope we can have a little BBQ of our own with of fantastic neighbors!
