This was the float from our stake and the one that Cambree rode on. The theme of the parade was "Sweet Land of Liberty". Our float won "Best Theme".
Brinlee rode in the car that leads the "Ray's Crew". (The Ray's crew dances in the parade every year and it is a big crowd pleaser.) She was able to sit in the back next to Santa and throw candy. When they ran out halfway through she said "Santa, did you eat all the candy?" She can't remember what he said back to her.
This is the Ray's Chevron crew. They dance with drying mitts on and put on quite the show. It is hilarious!
These were the shirts the girls wore in the parade, but since it was something like 58 degrees or so and windy, they had to wear jackets and sweatshirts. I wanted a group shot with Aidan...but we know how that doesn't work out EVER!
A-Dawg's shirt says Mr. Independent... You think?!?!
Last week my friend Rhonda brought her cute kids over for a little water fun--slip n' slide action. While they were here, we got this nest out of our tree that we thought had been abandoned and it had an egg in it. It was fun for the kids to see.
Last week, Mike was a little stir crazy, so we rode with him to a nearby lake where he could put a line in and fish a little. The kids loved it and it was a beautiful day. This is across the lake (pond?) where they took a little walk to. I was instructed to sit on my chair and read and watch the pole in case it moved...It never did... :)
Summer is flying by and it feels like we have had 2 nice warm days. :( Today is 73 or so but it has a cool wind going. Maybe it will warm up again?? Hope so because I saw school supplies being sold today and it made me sad....

How exciting for your girls to be in the parade! I'm glad she chose that over candy. And I agree that summer is going too fast and that we haven't had nearly enough warm days. Bring on the 90's I say!
I saw your Brinlee sitting next to Santa and she looked so cute!!
I thought the parade float looked so good and the girls were ADORABLE. I don't know where you find the time to do all the things you do. I especially loved the hair bows in the girls hair. YOu are AWESOME. I am glad you mentioned hanging with me in your post and that D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S. trifle I made you.... maybe next time I will get a shout out! I think you and your kids are awesome. Check ya later.
They looked so great in the parade! My girls were looking for them the entire time and were so excited when they saw both of them! Great shirts and that lake looks so pretty. Fun family time. The pics are so cute as usual!
Lots of fun! The girls look so cute in the parade. Thanks for letting us crash your party for the fireworks, it was tons of fun!!
