Celebrating Heroes

The 4th of July . . . We have been participating in the Evergreen parade for the past few years. In years past we have always just decorated wagons, but we have always dreamed having having a float. Our husbands never wanted to build one . . . so this year I found one on ksl.com for $25 - good find, considering it would have cost over $100 to build one + our husbands really didn't want to do it.
This years parade theme was "Celebrating Heroes". We took a spin off of that and did a Little Red Riding Hood float -- The woodsman was our hero!

Thank you Robert :) You did such a good job holding back the float

The Boyce Family

We missed having the brothers this year & of course we missed Bart. He was racing in B.C.

Bear Lake

We spent a few days at the lake with Heidi & her boys. The kids had a blast on the beach. We kept saying how lucky we were to be able to take off during the week and sit on the beach with our kids.

Stella bee-lined straight to the water when we got out of the car. And loved every second.

Not posed . . . This is how Eva & Richard ate their lunch .

Stella and her beloved shoes. She refused to take them off.

We have been taking these pix of Eva & Richard since they were 1 yrs old.
