A big SLACKER!

When I was at work the other day, this email came in from my mom, it was titled "YOU" it stated that I need to update my blog with new pictures of the goings on this past month and before summer started since all my travels started the end of May. So here we go!!! Ready? It's going to be a long one.
GO..............................

My niece Corrine turned 8 in May. She was being baptized Memorial weekend in OR. So neither Troy nor myself could get time off work plus it was end of the school year for Ashley so no missing school. I was able to fly up to OR and spend Memorial weekend with most of my family. It was great fun!!! We have tons of funny memories. One of them is going to Butterfly Pavilion. This was an awesome place and the Pine trees needles were so SOFT! I could have taken a nice nap on them. Any way here are some pictures from my trip.

Cocoons of Butterflies

This goes with the pic below.
Trees? Yep they are
Can you see the frog? Look closely
Corrine my beautiful niece
My family (minus Scott, Korin, Troy, Ashley and Kylie)
Me, my sis Emily, sis-in-law Carrie, mom (missing Korin my soon to be sis-law)
Chis and Tim provided us hours and I mean hours of entertainment Michael the singer, Hunter on the guitar in the back, Tim smiling away, Kevin also on guitar up close.
Mike really getting into it! I cannot tell how funny it was to watch this in real life.
Marshmallows anyone?
(yes we roasted them on the stove, but they were delicious)

Emmy really didn't want us to go. She loves her mommy

Last day of school 2nd grade.
Kylie says "Bye" to the girls

Ashley
For the past few years I have taken my girls to see the 24th of July floats. This was my favorite. Also this is for you mom!!
Back end
Ashley had her faced painted while we were there and Kylie really liked it.
Kylie just being cute
Kylie decided to sit with her baby. Unfortunately you don't see the baby.
Loves to pose
At the end of August Troy's grandma London went on to see grandpa London. We miss her but know she is much happier.
I love my Uncle Shane

Hanging out waiting for things to start at the cemetery.
At the cemetery where Troy's Grandparents and one of his Uncles are buried is in Morgan. They had so many grasshoppers everywhere!!!! Kylie wasn't sure what to think once she was on the grass and they were jumping at her level.
1st day of School 3rd grade
And finally..... this is from last night. She was supposed to be coloring on her paper by us, unfortunately she is quick and went to the stairs that lead to our kitchen and living room. GREEN crayon on the wall. Well she was really good about getting something to clean it up and was all smiles about it.
I know this is a really long post but I hope you have enjoyed! I will try to be better about updating.

That was fun to catch up with you in one post. Looks like it has been an extremely busy, yet super enjoyable summer. By the way, seeing your fall background, makes me really excited for fall... it is my absolute favorite... I think I will change mine now too!
