FINALLY...Summer at a Glance

One of the first things we got to do this summer was catch up with my very best friend Mandi and her kids. Drew and Taylor were friends when they were just little boys and it was fun to see them re-connect. We haven't seen them in about 5 years so it was lots of fun to see how much the kids have grown and it was great to talk to my great friend.

Then we got to spend some time with the Walker family at their family reunion. One of the funny things that happened was that the tents got TP'd and no one could figure out who had done it. Everyone tried to blame uncle Brian but he wasn't taking it. Finally, the girls admitted to pulling the prank. The funny part was that they were smart enough to TP their own tent so that no one would know it was them. It was war from then on!

We got to love on both of the cute babies around! This was the first time we had met Dylan and Kaia (sorry Rachel, I probably spelled it wrong!) They were both just adorable and it was fun to hug and kiss them and then give them back to mommy!

It seemed like all we did was EAT! There was lots of yummy food.

We had a great family night on Missionaries and everyone learned about where one of the uncle's served their missions. I was proud of how well my kids learned this when we came back and had a primary sharing time on missionary work and the kids could tell and show you where their uncle's had served.

Drew and his cute cousin Walker had the best time together! They decided to enter the Great Smoothie Contest and got 3rd place for their yummy smoothie. They even made a copy of their recipe to share with everyone. I will post it on my recipe blog when I get a minute. They were so cute!
