July 2011

Well it has been awhile since I lasted posted. This a summary of what happened in July in our family. Sorry the photos are not in order, but oh well. Hope you enjoy!!!

In July we met my mom and brother Loren for a picnic in Pine Valley. It was fun. We stopped at the Pine Valley Chapel before and went through the tour. The kids' great grandfather Cannon was the Summer Branch President in Pine Valley for quite a few years. It was fun for the kids to see his picture in the chapel. We played games and had a great picnic time.

Great Grandma Barlow waiting for the 24th parade to start. This is the last picture I have of her while she was alive to bad I didn't think to get the kids in the picture.

Tonia, Victoria, Elizabeth, Ryan, Allie, and Steven waiting for the 24th parade to start. Annalynn was on the primary float.

We did fireworks in our backyard on Sunday night. Grandpa Barlow came over along with Kirby, Nicki, Jaycee, Brylee,and our neighbors the Brackens. It was a cheap package and there were not very many in the package, but the kids had fun and loved them.

At the Pine Valley Chapel.

In July Ryan turned 4. It was a fun birthday. Here Rus is showing him how to use his brand new dart gun. Tonia was visiting and they were able to be here for the fun. Steven wanted to join in the fun of the gun to.

Ryan's cake he wanted a Thomas the Train cake. This is what I came up with.

He also wanted a Thomas the Train set. He loves this train track set. Grandma and Grandpa Barlow gave him some extensions and a Percy. It kept them entertained for hours and hours. Rus is helping them figure out the sawmill and the zip line.

Annalynn on the primary float for the 24th parade. She is on the back row 2nd one from the end of the trailer. She was so happy she got to dress up as a scripture hero and she was wearing a purple dress. She thought she was so beautiful and she was.

We turned the water trough over to fill it up for a horse that we had on our lot for a couple of months and this is what we found. Rus and I couldn't figure out why it was so hard to turn over. This is all from stinking gophers. Totally crazy.
