2. Congratulations again to my sister Bekah and her husband Glen who were married on July 3 in the Twin Falls LDS Temple. It was a lovely day! 
3. Sunday July 5th was a special day for our family. Our little Peter was given a name and blessing by his Dad. Thanks again to everyone who was able to be there. Also a big thanks to my mom for making Peter's blessing outfit! 
4. After the wedding, Daniel had to go back to work but the kids and I stayed for two weeks at my parents house. The girls had a blast. We fed horses, picked raspberries, picked and canned cherries, played in the water, slipped on the slip'n slide and spent as much time on the swings as possible.
5. While at Grandma's house, Lydia had her first hair cut. She looks darling.

6. We loved the days at Grandma's house but the nights were a little rough. At least half of the nights we were there were spent cleaning up vomit or diarrhea from at least one of the girls. One morning I woke up thinking we were in the clear when I noticed Liesel wasn't in her bed. Poor grandma had been up with her without me even knowing. Sorry grandma!
7. The highlight of the trip for the girls was Cousin Camp. We spent two whole days with the cousins earning patches for our Camp Sawtooth Bandelo. We learned the camp song (so catchy that we still sing it), had a service project, climbed trees, learned how to throw a tea party or a Cougar football party, took the Cougar pledge, roasted marsh mellows, slid on the slip'n slide, rode 4-wheelers, had a hot wheels derby, had nail care, aerobics, snacks, a nature hike and more fun then ever before. Thanks again Aunt Nicole and Grandma and everyone else who helped.
8. Another fun surprise at cousin camp were the pajamas grandma made for all the cousins. Quite a lot of sewing to make 24 pairs of pajamas for all the grand kids. We were thinking about trying to have a great sleepover but then realized that with 20 of the grand kids 5 or younger, that might have to wait for another year.
9. After cousin camp we headed to Fish Lake in Utah for my mom's family reunion. It was fun to see all my cousins I hadn't seen in years and for the kids to play in the dirt again. Eliza had a great time hauling dirt around in her shirt and her fishing trip with Dad. Thanks to Uncle Jim for helping me get a new fishing pole for Daniel.
10. Over all the trip was fantastic. Here is to next year!
