Summer- let the good times roll

Summer has come and gone. I can't believe it! Good Memories
have been made. So I thought it might be time to update my blog.
I know it has been forever or so it seems since I've written.
This summer has been eventful for us. My mom ended up
being very sick. We had to help take care of her. We also
hosted Rick's brother, Ryan, three or four times a week since
February so he could stay and work in Vegas until he went
to school in Utah in the fall. Jenna even gave up her room to
accommodate him. Ryan's wife and daughter were two hours
away so he would go home to them on the weekends. We sure
enjoyed having him stay! Good luck Ryan! Rick currently
is on the hunt for a new job. So if there is a need for a
Structural Engineer anywhere let us know. In the mean
time Rick and I have been getting reacquainted with
each other. He is realizing how busy four kids are!
So here is most of what we did this summer.

Memorial Weekend
The weekend I must say was an adventure. We blew a tire
on the way up and ended up getting four brand new ones.
It hailed on us in Emery. I was confused for a little bit what
season we were in. We did have a great time. My kids love
Emery rain or shine!


Daddy Daughter for Activity Days!
Yee Haw!



Dog Bite
This is Kate trying to get her bandages off and saying Ow!
She got bit by my mom's dog. We had to take her to the
emergency. She got stitches. Brittany also got bit the
the next day. Then my mom got bit a week later. The dog
needless to say is no longer with us.


Family Camp
I think the pictures speak for themselves! We really
had a great time! My Dad's family always goes camping
in July for a whole week. Rick came up at the end of the week
and took our two oldest to Lagoon. My brother got free
tickets and took his two oldest kids too. They had so much fun!
Sorry no pictures of Lagoon because they didn't take the camera!


Fourth of July
We spent it in Alamo Nevada. It is a very small town near
where my sister-in-law lives. We had a great time. We
even swam in some natural spring water with the frogs!
My nature loving kids loved it! Thanks Ryan and Amber
for a good time!



Broderick Family Reunion

We sure laughed a great deal. Grandpa Broderick made

sure the kids were having fun. He converted the car port

into a little sleeping area. He even had a hammock in there.

He also made a sled and gave the kids rides through the

cornfield. His double seater bike was also a big hit. Another

highlight was our visit to the dairy farm. They even had

reindeer. I know that sounds weird, but true. Grandma sure

fed us some good food! I say let's do it again!
