Summers Family: July 2009

Bath time

I got to babysit Riley the other day and Jodi was over, so we decided to give Ri & Kay a bath together. It was so cute!

cute bum bums!

We got family pictures done while we were in GA for the 4th. It's crazy that we were able to have the entire family together. It was definitely a challange trying to get all the kids to cooperate, but what can ya do. We still got some really cute ones

4th of July GA trip

Our 4th of July was pretty crazy (again) this year. The whole Utah clan except for Mike flew out and got there thursday night. We spent Friday going to Jump to it, lunch at Stevie B's, swimming at the hotel, and renting out the church for dinner and games that night. Saturday we woke up early to get family pictures done, went to IHOP for breakfast and then most everyone rested for the afternoon. Rhonda, mom, and I went over to help set up for the wedding. Then we had the wedding and pool party/reception after at aunt Sam & uncle David's. The wedding turned out really nice. Sunday we went to church in our old Sharpsburg ward, had dinner as a fam, and went to be early to wake up and leave for the airport at 4 monday morning. It's sad that it was such a short trip but I'm so grateful I got to spend that time with the other half of my fam that lives in Georgia. Wish I could see them more

Manti Pageant

We went to the Manti pageant in June as a fam. It was kind of a crazy day. It was Andrew's first time meeting the fam, we arrived like 3 hours early to get a good spot, only to be told that we couldn't go on the grounds until like 6, and it was raining off and on all day. Despite all of that though, it was a good day. I've been to the pageant before but I was like 13 so I don't really remember anything. Pretty sure I fell asleep actually. So I actually appreciated it this time. The Manti temple is AMAZING, and the pageant was very well done. Hopefully next year won't be as cold :)

Kenadie was so cute with grandpa

Riley boy

These pics are from June 15th. Riley is doing amazing. Growing bigger and stronger everyday. His family is amazing as always... and that's pretty much it :)

Sandy Aquarium

I mentioned to mom that I was going to take Baylie & Avrie to the Sandy Aquarium. She was able to get free tickets from a lady in our ward and wanted to come, so then we invited Jodi & Kayhlen and brought Kenadie too. The girls had a really good time. I'm not sure if I would ever want to pay to go there, it's not quite worth it, but the girls had fun.

Shots!

So, I love school. I love drawing blood and giving people shots. We obviously have to practice on each other. I got 46 shots in 2 days one time... it was awesome :) Anway, we decided to take pictures one day cuz we are proud of ourselves :) No need to worry, I had many people tell me that I better not post any of actual shots being done, so I won't :(

WICKED

Yea, I'm this far behind in my blogging :) So back in April I had the chance to go see Wicked at the Captial Theater with mom, Jodi, & Carrie. Jodi and I were able to get tickets through work about a year before they came out. I'd never heard the soundtrack and I really didn't know the story line before we went. It was AMAZING!! I absolutely loved it. The soundtrack hasn't left my CD player to this day :)
