Doug & Mallena's new home

Moving in Day

Larry & I showed up on Doug & Mallena's doorstep at 6:30 Saturday morning with a trailer full of their things. We had everything unloaded by 8:30 am. Their Elder's Quorum was told to be there by 11:00 to help, but due to us arriving so soon there was nothing for them to do. Their bishop helped Doug haul in the piano. They have a very nice, friendly ward. Larry is playing the piano to make sure it was "still in tune". We unpacked a lot of boxes & arranged the living room. They have a very nice home in a nice neighborhood. Miriam blows bubbles as Shay rides her bike in the 100+ degree weather.

Shay is running with a handful of water to throw on me. It was so hot I even let her get me with the garden hose!
CANNONBALL!!!

5th of July fun

Jaz, Shay, Courtney & Miriam are ready to go! I took them all plus Brigham for mini rides on the 4-wheeler. They all loved going through the sprinklers! Our pretty butterfly

Jake wanted to go before the horn sounded.

It was fun to watch the next generation of racers!

Happy 2nd Birthday Jake!

Jake had a great birthday party with all his little cousins there. Everyone took turns smacking the pinata. Shane & Doug held it up, so some kids had a trickier time at actually hitting it.
The kids played & played. Then the "big kids" played too. Wish I had some pictures of Doug & Devin playing ball. We had yummy food and cake & ice-cream. It was fun to just hang out together at Devin & Katy's place.
