Tru and Jenny Wedding

We got our sunscreen on.

And went to Loon Lake for Tru and Jenny's wedding...here come the bride and groom.

They had all of their kids as their attendants...plus a couple of friends.

It was a great ceremony, each kid got a necklace to celebrate becoming a full family.

Hooray!

Congratulations Jenny and Tru.

Trestin is Tru's son...he and Marcus played football together for a couple of years.

Cute girls.

We had a great time.

Amazing cake...it was so yummy too...lemon with raspberry filling.

We went down to the beach for some family photos.

What a beautiful night for a wedding.

Work Party

Sophie, Ceci and Gia came for a visit...we put them to work in the garden.

They actually like to work...such good kids.  Marcus and Sophie pulling the weeds.

Gia is helping Olivia with the water.

Gia, Olivia and Ceci walking the water to Lily.

It's not all work...they also got to play!  

Marcus, Ceci, Gia, Olivia, Emma, Sophie!

Just in time

We completed the pool just in time for the hot weather and invited the Bradeen's over for some fun.  

They brought some pizza for dinner!  The girls loved that!

Cruz and Marcus look pretty content.

Marc and Ryan are loving it too.

There was lots of fun tricks.

Belly flops were popular...ouch Olivia...that might hurt!

Splash!

Cruz, Marcus, Kaydin, Olivia and Emma...happy to be in a pool.

Marc installed the diving board too...Jump Marcus!

Emma flips into the water.

Olivia's got air!

Marcus flips too!

Nice jump Emma.

Olivia jumps for joy!

Olivia on Emma and Cruz on Kaydin...whose going to win?

The fight is on.

It's getting rough out there.

Oh no, Olivia's slipping.

Kaydin can taste the victory.

VICTORY!

Now Emma on Kaydin and Olivia on Cruz.

The twins battle it out and Olivia is down!

Kaydin's team gets the victory again!  So fun!

Summer at Home

Marcus is at summer camp for the end of the break so it's the girls and me most of the day.  At lunch I let the girls swim.  They are loving the pool.

Lily likes to hang out in the shade.

Cheers!

This is the life!

Clayton Rodeo

We got all dressed up for the Rodeo.  I thought we looked so cute I wanted to try for a family photo.  Emma tested out the lighting for me.

My three girls!  Lily was ready.

The kids got new shirts and belts in Montana.  Thanks for the belts Nana!

This is the full picture before I cropped it.  Lily got tired of waiting for Marc and Marcus to get dressed so we lost her attention.

We tried a few times...she just didn't want to sit up though...she's pretty cute I must say.

We made it to the rodeo and had a blast.  This was the first time the kids went to a rodeo and they loved it!  I believe we will go to more rodeos in the future.
