True Colors

So we got our pictures taken by Picket Fence Photography. You know it's a good photographer when your child is being a turkey, and won't cooperate AT ALL, and you still get some pictures you Love.

My little sister Savanna was doing a little dance and singing to get her to smile for this one,

We all look spent, and at this point we pretty much were :)

My Favorite

This was the only way we could get her to smile,

I think I might blow this one up and have it be our family picture.

It shows her true colors.

Sparklers

The other night, we did some Sparklers

At first, she was a little apprehensive

(I would be too if someone stuck a sparking stick in my face)Starting to warm up to the idea

This is the face she's been pulling lately, it's so funny

It's like she just found her tongue. There is nothing like sparklers on a hot summer nightAnd finally we have a winner

Queen of the Sparklers

at least at our house:)

4th of July

We Started out this years festivities by running the Freedom Festival 10k

I think we did pretty good, beings we didn't train AT ALL

Dempsey even ran with us (via stroller)The whole gang

It was actually pretty fun, we want to do it next year too.

It's a pretty awesome sight, thousands of runners, hot air balloons in the sky, we loved it.Then off to the Parade

Dempsey loved the parade, especially the marching bands,

She could clap her hands and dance when any of them came byIt was a pretty hot sticky dayOf course the highlight for us is the BYU truck/float everyyear

We {heart} cosmoAnd then we had an awesome barbeque

Fresh salmon straight from Alaska, thanks to my Aunt Cindy

Good Family, Good Food, Good TimesAnd lastly we watched the fireworks in Provo, Sadly I can't find my pics of this

My favorite part of the day was watching Dempsey watch the Fireworks

She loved them!

The loud booms didn't phase her at all! I'm so grateful for my sweet little family,and for the freedoms we enjoy. God Bless America!

Lovely Legs

The other day I heard this Jibber-Jabber coming from Dempsey's room after her nap. I walked in to find these Lovely Legs poking out of the cribYou would think they'd be stuck because of the chubby,

but no she gets them in and out as she pleases.She sure is a funny little girl.
