How Awesome!!!

Check this out!!!! My older sister Linden and her son, Alex, visiting our baby sister Vaughn in Australia. They are in a store and check out the poster behind them!!! That is our Vaughnie!!!! I knew she was a model but here's proof for any of you doubters!!! I'm so proud of her!! Had to share it with the rest of my peeps. Enjoy!! If anyone wants to see more pictures of her various jobs just let me know. Also, look for her as an extra in the new TV series Starter Wife with Debra Messing, it's on USA network (I think) this fall!!!

Random Fun in July

Reed-o burrito riding his Diego bike in the driveway.

Daniel enjoying his mashed potatoes and green beans for Sunday dinner, no fried chicken yet!

My home made fruit bouquet, or "edible arrangement", took all day to make but was a big crowd pleaser! thanks to Shelley for the awesome vase.

Popsicle fun in the backyard, if only Mr. Daniel could learn to hold them by the stick!

Not a Birthday Without Cake!!

Big brother Reed admiring the cake

Daniel says: "I'm ready Mom! hand it over!"

Mmmm...funfetti cake.

Oh so messy...and so good!

Daniel's First Birthday!!

Lots of presents for me!!

Not sure what this is but the box is cool!

Hey I can't eat these bananas?!

In the fine tradition of infants, he's more interested in the wrapping than the gifts.

Oh well! Life's a party as long as there's fun trash to play with! and hey, it's HIS birthday, right?

Lagoon

Mom and Reed on the new Odyssey ride, which Reed rode six times that day! with different relatives.

He even went on several rides himself, big boy!!

Including his first ever bumper cars!!

Even Daniel got in on the fun (stationary fish :0) )

After NINE hours outside all day with rides, family, food, and fun, we were all very tired...some more than others.

Chef Reed

Mom and Reed making marshmallow treats

Mom of course does most of the work!

But Reed gets in there at the end (when it's safe) and gets his hands dirty.

Nice and smooth... and yummy!

Father/Son Campout

This past Friday was our Stake Father and Son Campout! Brandon took Reed, here he is in front of the tent! once they got to the right campgrounds (last minute changes)

Too bad he kept dad up all night with the tossing and turning!

Reed had fun playing in the dirt and of course, the smores.

Fun with Dad, next time we'll all go and there will be more pictures because mom won't forget to empty the memory card; oops!
