Family Pictures

Yes it's been FOREVER since I last wrote on my blog. I have been so busy this summer with all the kids and with PTA stuff that I haven't had time to sit down at the computer and upload pictures to my blog. So here in a nutshell was our summer in the next few posts. Hope you enjoy!!!

We just got our family pictures done by my sister in law Heather. I thought they turned out great since Brielle was not happy the entire photo shot. I am not going to share our favorites because I am using them on our Christmas Cards. But here are a few.

The Grange Family in the Month of July

We had a great month of July. We spent a lot of time at the pool and at Bear Lake.

For the Fourth of July we had a good visit with our friends the Barney's who came from Washington to stay with us for a few days. We enjoyed going up American Fork Canyon for a picnic, BBQ that night and watching the Fireworks in Pleasant Grove. The next day we went with the Barney family to Seven Peaks Water Park. It was a lot of fun and we stayed ALL Day. From opening to closing-and none of us got sunburned. YEAH

Later that month we went to Bear Lake Camping with Scott's family. We could only go the weekend (they stayed for much longer) but we had a good time. The Lake was a lot of fun and the cousins had a good time together.

On the 20th the Primary in our ward had a primary party. Britton was only there for a few minutes when he fell out of the dunking machine and his entire fingernail was ripped off. When I got there he was in so much pain that he looked at me and Fainted. I rushed him to the Doctors where they had to stitch up the fingernail Bed. WOW it hurt and looked awful. We sure felt bad for him.

After that we had a few days to rest up before heading to Bear Lake Again. This time we went with my family and enjoyed staying in the Condos. The girls enjoyed going to pickleville, the boys golfing and the kids enjoyed Great Grandpa Parker's birthday celebration. My two oldest LOVE the Waverunners and go WAY TO FAST for me. Even little Treyson enjoys them.

We also went to Minnetonka Cave this year. As a kids I always remember going on this hike into the cave. We again had a good time. Brielle was with us -just on Scott's back. The kids did a wonderful job on the hike and didn't complain at all.

Where's Brielle? Oh on Daddy's back!!!

We also had a fun time going to Whitney's old Roommates farm and riding the horses, seeing the ducks, the peacocks, and of course the dogs. Ashlyn loves horses so we were glad we could take her to ride one. Here are a few pictures of the family on the horses.

The Rest of June

On June 22-24 we went camping up American Fork Canyon with Scott's family. It was right after the Bear Attack up the same canyon so everyone was a little nervous but we had a great time. We slept in tents but had a GREAT camp ground. It was in Granite Flats campground number 24. (That's so I remember for next year). We had yummy food and enjoyed the last visit with Cody and Kristin before they left for Washington.

We also had our fun two weeks of Swimming Lessons. Everyone took a lesson (me and Ellie did Mom and Me) and had a good time and learned a lot. We also enjoyed going to the pool a lot this month and celebrating Father's Day.

We also had a wonderful time at Strawberry Days for Pleasant Grove City. The rodeo is always fun and we enjoyed the Children's Parade (Although it was too hot) and the evening festivities.
