July has been pretty crazy but it's been a lot of fun too! We moved to Utah the end of June and unpacked in a hurry with Mom's help. We miss lots of things about Flagstaff but are really liking our new home too. I was excited to get a Costco membership and stock up on groceries in our new house. We celebrated with a Costco hot dog and Braden was pretty excited about it.
Then we celebrated the 4th of July! My friend Amberlee in Flagstaff helped me make these cute shirts for the holiday. The kids LOVED collecting candy in the small town parade. We had a fun barbecue with lots of family. We ended the day with fireworks of course. Susie tried to stay awake but didn't make it through the whole show. Braden did!
We spent a few days in Cedar City spending time at Grandma Suzy's house. We loved the park there with the fun creek. I got to spend some time with my siblings too which was fun. We went on a beautiful hike in Kanaraville. Gorgeous!!
Don't worry there's more....
After we got home from that trip we headed down to Duck Creek, close to Bryce Canyon for the West family reunion! All of Paul's siblings and their families were able to make it out which is a pretty big deal. The 9 are scattered over different parts of the US. There were 39 grandkids there, plus all the adults. It was a full house! I didn't see Susie much during the reunion because she was too busy playing with all her awesome cousins.
They played dress up and built little boats to race and had lots of nerf gun wars. We got to see Bryce Canyon and Zion's National Park. When it wasn't raining Braden loved playing outside, in the mud!
From that reunion I took the kids and headed up to Idaho for the Garbett family reunion. I got to see lots of family I haven't seen in years so it was really nice. Uncle Claude wasn't ready for this picture!
We spent a couple days in Idaho visiting with Grandparents, too. Susie and Braden loved trying on Grandma's wigs up in the loft. We took them Hooper Springs and to see the Gyser. We had a lot of fun road tripping and seeing so much family, but I'm exhausted! I don't think I'll go anywhere for another year.
