When my 1 year old is screaming at the top of her lungs, and I still have a few errands to run, I'll give her just about anything to make her stop crying!
Mark took the kids to the park and Josie discovered that she can go down the slide face-first!

Last Saturday we had a family reunion up in Provo. After, we went to the Bean Museum and saw all of these animals that were stuffed. Kinda freaky, but the kids liked it. I can't believe that Summer is almost over, and soon we'll be stuck inside the house again!
Mark's little sister Kelly got married last week! It was such a neat day, and their sealing was so awesome. I wish I took more pictures of the whole day. Kelly looked so pretty and we were so happy that we were able to be at the Temple with her and Johnny.
My brother's ward had a huge family dance for the 24th of July. The kids absolutely loved it. The best part was seeing my little 3 year old niece, Grace, dance in the middle of a huge circle with her walker. She was born with spine a bifida, and is the sweetest little girl you will ever meet. She does so good walking around with her walker, and we were all in tears watching her dance in the middle of everyone. She had the biggest smile on her face because she was doing the same thing that everyone else was. We love her so much. I wish so bad that we had video of her that night. It was awesome.
ANOTHER Vacation post!!! We had a great time at Yellowstone Lake. On our way home from visiting my brother and his family in Wyoming, he drove with us to Yellowstone Lake. It was really hard to say goodbye. Especially for Jonah. He misses his cousin McKay so bad and is still asking when we can see him again. Jonah had fun playing in the sand, and Jos just likes to be outside. It was such a fun evening hanging out at the lake. We were just about the only ones there so we had it all to ourselves! We knew it was going to end though, and hated saying bye.
My brother took us to this fun lake a few miles from his house. Mark took a few of the cousins out in a little raft, Jonah loved swimming, Jos just wanted to be in the water, and Mark loved teasing the kids with a crawdad he found. We really had a good time!
Mark and I rented a huge RV to take to visit my brother and his family who live in Wyoming. It was the funnest trip ever (and yes, that big ol' thing got 6 miles to the gallon!) We loved every minute of it. I think the kids liked taking a shower in it the best. My brother and his wife were so nice to let us all come invade their home for a few days. We all had a blast and have already started making plans for renting another one next summer and taking the same trip!
I have a ton of pictures to post from our last family vacation--- It's going to take forever to post all of them, so I'm just gonna start with one event at a time! We went to Bear World after going through Yellowstone, and it was so much fun! There were 5 little kiddie amusement rides that the kids just walked right on. Josie wasn't a huge fan of them, but Jonah was in heaven! We saw a ton of bears (we were in the RV) that just walked right up to the cars, and there was a really cute petting zoo. I love the picture of Josie staring at the pig! We had a blast!
