This last weekend we had the wonderful opportunity of going up to my Aunt and Uncle’s home in South Jordan for a big 24th of July BBQ and party! I always love going to these because it usually includes all my relatives that reside in Utah, and any family from out of state who may be visiting as well. It is wonderful to be able to spend some time with them all.
This year Aunt Susie and Uncle Kevin were all set to go with fun things for the kids to do including slip and sliding…

And a fish pond where the kids could fish for prizes! đ
Here Harrison is taking all the fish OFF of the pond. Bless his little heart! đ

Later we enjoyed some good food and the normal bantering and teasing that goes on in my family! (Dad, Mom, Stacey, and Jake)

A picture of my mountain man all gruff and burly after his backpacking trip in the Uintah’s.
(P.S. He got home from his trip, showered, and left 20 minutes later to go to this party even though he was COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED because…well, he loves me!)

I love this picture of my three sweeties.
Just hope that next time I can get at least one of them to look at the camera! đ

The fish pond that my Aunt and Uncle do has become a favorite tradition with the kids (and they do it for the adults as well). This year Branson got a Buzz Light year parachute guy, Harrison got a puzzle, Dawson got a book, Adam got a screw driver set, and I got some cute pens!
