two more sets

Of course with Steve off, I cannot anything or everything done. But, I am sneaking this set in while Steve is outside weed eating the lot. I'm dragging this morning because we all went to the PREMIER OF HARRY POTTER 7 last night. WOW, it was epic! LOVED it!!!!! Such a great ending to a wonderful childhood of Harry Potter memories for my kids. Jacy stated last night that the first Harry Potter came out when she was 11 and it has completely filled her childhood and teenage years. Premiers & reading the books over and over and over again. Trevor is on the last book and he cannot put it down. What an accomplishment as an author to leave such a legacy to her readers. Again - it was AWESOME!!! So, back to Yellowstone we go. These pictures are of kids, adults, cousins, grandpas & grandmas. Just more memories to tuck away. Probably won't see anyone here for another year. Keeping the cherished times close my heart.

ENJOY!

a beautiful world we live in

SOOOO, getting all of these pictures on here just makes me happy! Also, watching the World Cup Women's soccer team makes me happy and getting my 3 miles walking in makes me happy. It is a good day. Got my shed all cleaned out along with organizing all of the Kelcey & Jacy marriage boxes and college boxes. Whew! Now, off to the garage to organize some more & then lunch and then the Baker's pool. Trent & Trevor have been hauling pipe for Leon Baker and every morning and night they have been changing the pipeline. This morning was sooooo beautiful. There is nothing like getting up early on a beautiful summer day and enjoying the crisp morning air. Tomorrow we head to the pool for the Annual Dr. Cachiotti pool party - it is a madHOUSE there, but loads of fun. Then Harry Potter 7 midnight premier. Trevor finished up his Webelos badge & his birthday is coming up FAST!! Cannot believe our little youngest son will be 11! The years are just flying by so fast! There is another race this weekend for the boys, hope Trent is feeling better for the races. He was at a Youth Venture camp for our Stake & had a fever the whole weekend, thus resulting in massive sores in his mouth. He is finally starting to feel better today. Steve & I gave talks on Sunday - sure glad that is over. Steve was amazing & I just cried - talking about the pioneers. In two weekends we are heading over to Washogul to the amazing motocross races that the professionals race in. It should be a really fun weekend. My brother flies up the end of July and we will hopefully be joining him in his beach house in SeaBrook WA. Should be a FUN end of July. Then only a couple of weeks till our Jacy lacy leaves for college! I think I am going to go sit and cry.

Well, enjoy the pictures of Yellowstone. There are still many more to come. I am putting them all in here for our Blog book. I love having the blog books.

Have a great day!

I have not seen this much left over snow in Yellowstone at the end of June in years and years. There was still a ton of snow banks everywhere. Can you see how high it is - the cars are in the bottom left of the picture.
