Cristina, the graduate!

My sister Cristina graduated from BYU-Idaho this week in Communications! We are so proud of her! Our dad was able to come out and spend some time with us before and after going up to Idaho to be apart of the festivities. We were so glad to be able to see all of our family who live out here! Cadence always enjoys playing with his cousin Atley too! (awkward I didn't end up even getting a picture of Cristina, or dad...)

Pioneer Day!

Unfortunately because it's not a National holiday, Austin didn't get any time off work. After singing so many pioneer songs with our primary, I was just DYING to do something! Cadence and I were exhausted, but we still managed to get over to North Park and look around the pioneer village. There were people dressed like pioneers and indians, a variety of games, quilting, homemade butter, the pioneer village, rag dolls, entertainment, a fire engine, antique cars, and the list goes on! So much to see and do!

I can't wait until Cadence can participate more next year (maybe Austin can come with us on his lunch break). Check out the videos of Indian dance (which Cade loved) & how to make butter.

Matt & Jess get married!

We headed up for Logan just to stay over the night so we could congratulate Jessica Ensign (Austin's friend since high school) & Matthew Wing on their marriage.

We ran into lots of good friends from Illinois and are so glad we went! We hope they will have a very happy marriage!

Over the river and through the woods...

... to Grandmother's house we go! Austin went on a trip to Indianapolis with the Young Republicans, so his parents flew Cade & I out to spend some time with the family from 7/6-7/13. We had a great time! Here are some pictures of what we did (besides the specifics already posted)!

Michaela built a fort of legos for Shane.

Kelsey decided to play UNO for family night.

Lots of kisses & hugs from Shane for Cadence! He loves his nephew!

A visit to Aunt Janet's in Kankakee, IL (Mom's Aunt, Grandma Cobb's sister)

Shane got tired of wearing pants.

Taylor gave everyone the color code test!

Tanner & Conner were @ EFY & came home Saturday.
We were happy to see them!

Uncle Mike & Judy visited, along with Trace, McKenzie, & Riley

Trip Action

Here are some "action shots" from our Illinois trip! Enjoy!

Shane loves the swiffer, and his nephew!

Cadence loves to play with Grandma!

Our little tap dancer! I rolled laughing @ this one!

Keaton turns 10!

Keaton's birthday was a lot of fun! Kelsey and I baked him a dinosaur cake. In case you are wondering, I think the writing on the cake ended up being "ho, ho, hop on, happy birthday". Kelsey kept messing up so she got creative and changed it into a creative phrase. He got a kiss from Taylor (she doesn't catch him at the end of the video, but she does later in the evening), a hot shot basketball game from Conner (who got it from Austin), and a baseball mitt and balls from mom and dad. We ate monkey bread and tuna noodle as his meal choices. It was a fun birthday!
