4th of July

Our summer vacations in Midway make me wish I could go back and be 4 years old again. Tons of cousins running around, perfect weather, an enormous backyard with soft Utah grass, scooter rides, shaved ice, the Timp freeze, Daisy (my Mom's ranger) a 6 foot tall blow up double water slide. But as a 27 year old I still thought it was basically paradise. Even David went on the kiddie slide without popping it. This year we did an Ashton olympics. One e-mail out to my siblings and we had a full on show. Jake and Susie brought up huge speakers and planned out the opening ceremonies complete with a torch and walking in with the flag.

They even brought accessories for all the kids to hold and wave.

There's my little olympian.

Volleyball with the adults.

Tug-o-war.

It was so funny every time the kids completed an event all the grown men had to try. Here's Jake trying to get over the rope.

Ashton running to give David a high five after completing his 50 yard dash.

The big boys doing a backwards 50 yard dash.

Remember when I said Jake and Susie went all out? Check out their awards podium.

And you all knew this picture was coming.... There are officially 50 of us total in this picture now.

and #51 in my belly as you can clearly see.

Thanks Mom and Dad for an awesome 4th once again!

WOW. Ashton is sure starting to look like Dave! You can still see so much of you in him, but that's always been there :)
