Jason, Ellen and Gavin's 4th of July visit and Katie's Birthday

We had such a fun visit with Jason, Ellen and Gavin! It will be a 4th of July we will always remember!


We had lots of fun family get togethers!





Grandpa giving Gavin a ride on his tractor--I don't know who was having more fun--Gavin or Grandpa :)








I didn't have any pictures of the water slide--but did have this picture of the kids trying to keep cool in the baby pool.



We had lots of fun times in the backyard!



We invited Raechel over for the 4th and we enjoyed visiting with her!



Kirsten is so good with her little sister and with her cousins--Gavin just loves Kirsten!



Here's a great picture of Jeremy's family all dressed up for the 4th of July!



This picture was taken at the 4th of July Breakfast at the Church!



It's always fun to go to the Breakfast and be with our friends from the 1st Ward! You might recognize the Penningtons and the Wilsons.





Here's Dad with Bro. Finlayson over-seeing the cooking :)



A cute picture of Jason, Ellen and Gavin at the Breakfast!




And here is a cute picture of Chris, Darlene and "the Boys" all dressed up for the 4th of July!



The Breakfast always begins with the flag raising ceremony--thank you to Jeremy for installing the flagpole for his Eagle Project. And while watching these young men--I couldn't help but think of all you Boys helping with this ceremony when you were young Scouts.


I took this great picture of Jason's family before we left for Church.




Below are some pictures we took at the 4th of July Parade--thank goodness it was a short Parade because it was so hot!




The sun is in Alison's eye while she tries to put sunscreen on Zach--we used lots of sunscreen!




Here's Ellen and Gavin waiting for the Parade to start--Gavin is wearing his cute shark hat!





Below are pictures of Katie's 1st Birthday Party! Jeremy's helping her eat her cupcake!




Here's Darlene with Katie and David at the party! Katie just had a smile on her face most of the time!



Here is Kirsten with her really good friend, Michael.





Grandpa had fun at the park and this is a cute picture of him with Jordon.


And here is another picture of the Birthday Girl!
