A quick trip to P-town

"I love my grandma Gayle, Mama." So do I. Thanks gayle for letting us stay at your place, and for the yummy speghetti dinner! We love you and your freezin' house! Thanks for lovin' our babies so much!

Bad photo, Awesome Auntie! Aves loves you, too!Thanks for letting us stay with you Megan! We went through a lot together on this trip! Cooking for everyone, the wave pool, a serious BBQ, and well you know..... love ya!

Go, Kaylee, go! Ride that lil' daisy!!

We headed down to Price after Joe and Jessica's wedding in Bountiful, and stayed for 4 days!! It was good times! We had a big family BBQ on Sunday, and went 4 wheelin' on Monday, and wave poolin' on Tuesday. I managed to run into the water with my cell phone in my pocket (in an attempt to save Ash from the big waves.) I was glad I saved my baby, but sad about my pink miami ink razor (huh? what?) FORTUNATELY, The phone dried out after 2 days, and still works! yay! (I am so good at getting off on a tangent!)
Thanks for the FUN guys. Thanks from Judd: The MANLY 4 wheeler expedition was SWEET~

Family time in P-town!

Here are two BFF!! (haha) These little girls knew they couldn't come to earth w/o each other, so little Claire came just 11 weeks after Aves! Don't they look like they are happy to be with each other?

Jannika, Kirst, Ashlyn (hiding) Brennan, Kaylee, and Asher, had fun riding the four wheelers. Kaylee liked to take it SLOW (even her mama went to fast for her!) but the rest were cool with some speed, (Kirsto just stayed in the VAN and watched:)

This little girl gave us some big surprises at the trail yard, but the Aunties help Mama clean it all up! (yeah, it was totally gross) Sometimes I think a little diva just does what she's gotta do for a wardrobe change:)
Here is the CONSULTANT doing what she does best!

Hey head! Your noggin's got it's own weather system...j/k! E rode like a TOTAL PRO! and was jumping the RECON like crazy! one word: FEARLESS! (and look: he finally lost one of his front teeth!)

They say it's your birthday...

Some girl I know turned 29, on the 19th. Actually, two girls I know did: one in June, the other in July:) The July girl treated herself to a day of daydreaming about sunset beach, and planning her next trip there, when she wouldn't be pregnant, and would have the bod for a bikini...uh, okay maybe that's taking it a bit far... he he he!

Yeah, I am the july 19th girl, and I had a sweet hubby that spoiled me with some fun things. It was such a surprise to come home to a cake, and a table set with gorgeous new dishes, flatware, glasses, and diet pepsi. And don't forget the sweet new external hard drive! Thanks, honey!

Don't those pretty rusty red dishes tickle my fancy!? I had to go choose some cool new placemats to match. (I know, I'm obsessed.)

these are the Days...of '47

The Cowboy, the Wildlife manager, and the Electrician keepin' the Beagley family tradition real, at the Old SPEGHETTI factory at trolley square, in slc...............

I love this shot...full of movement, as the horse starts buckin' right out of the chute!

Avey sleeps on Auntie Trista's lap thru the Rodeo, don't worry Uncle Rusty, one Cowboy might manage to stay on for 8 seconds!

Uncle Kyle explains the finer points of rodeo, to a curious Jannika.
Sometimes even a master cowboy can't get an excited baby to hold still! I think that this little Miss Sassafras LOVES her grandpa Steve!

We had a blast at the days of '47 rodeo, and even though no one seemed to be able to stay on a bull, we still thought it was full of fun!! The Rodeo clowns were hilarious and did this awesome YMCA number out of nowhere! It was hilarious. Glad y'all came out to play everyone!

Eli and Ash love the fountain at the GATEWAY in slc. I especially love it when the speakers loudly play "God Bless AMERICA" and the fountain sprays to the music.... Even my Mom jumped in to get wet! (wish I got a photo of that:)) My parents met us at Costa Vida (Mmmmm...) before the Days of '47 Rodeo, and let the boys play at the fountain before taking them back to their place to be watched for the day. Thanks Mom and Dad!! (do you notice the funny black thing on E's upper lip? Just a little surgical glue to hold his face back together, after falling off a fence last week:)

Don't you love Superman's Son's Shirts???

Two boys+Hot day+cold water= HAPPY DAY!!

I love the Old Rio Grande train Station that is also located at the GATEWAY. Can anyone name this song? "Brother Brigham said THIS IS THE PLACE, I'm proud to be a Mormon so get outta my face!" I thought so:) Notice the awesome 1847, above the painting?

Hey, I think some old cowboy left his hat on my baby's stroller! ...and who is that hottie tucking in his shirt???

July 4th, and Afterwards...

After some sweet fireworks, and a good night's sleep, we headed to the Beagley reunion, and enjoyed painting faces, good food (George's turkey steaks) , and even better company. We had a fun time raffling off some items and raising money for future reunions. Here is little miss with papa Steve.
Here she is happy in the grass at the reunion... and happy below with her new hairdo!
After the reunion, Janell and I went to DI for a shopping spree, and afterwards, we met up on our front lawn with Kyle and Janell, and their kids, Steve and DeAnne, and DeAnne's grandaughter Anika. We heard a Ty Herndon concert that was being played on the field next to our house, and watched a FANTASTIC fireworks display (on our lawn again) that was after the concert. It was so fun!

Little Miss is feeling better now. After finding out that she is allergic to amoxicillan, developing a rash, and everything else yucky that comes along with antibiotics (you know what I am talking about) she is doing better.

We had a fun 4th of July, and enjoyed the Tooele parade and everything that it has to offer:)
I love this superman shirt that Judd has. He seriously has this delusion (or is it a delusion?) that he is SUPERMAN, and so I saw this shirt at the store one day, bought it, tucked it away in his closet, and when he found it there he was so happy!

Catching candy is what the Tooele parade is basically about, & 4 the boys, that is all it needed to be about! They loved it! (check out those 70's tube socks that Asher insists on wearing everywhere we go!) After the parade, we had a big nap, then when Judd's brother Kyle, and his wife Janell came, we headed to Grandma Rena's for Dinner, and then to the fireworks show in Grantsville.

What's the story Morning Glory?

Little sweetie learned how to sit up on June 26th, and really likes it when we clap for her and say "big girl!" It's so funny, because she looks at us after she accomplishes something, and waits for the clapping. It's super cute to see how delighted she gets when the applause starts.

The Cardinals Season ended with the crack of Ash's bat connecting with the ball. He really had fun, and can't wait till he plays again next year....

We went to Deseret peak the last week of June, to cool off, and introduce little Sassafras to the water. She was pretty happy about the water, and kicked her legs and flailed her arms when she saw it. I had to sing "...I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it...." to match her crazy mood (LOL) Eli went down the slide 17 times, and Ash and I went down 4 times together, while Eli watched sissy.
It was HOT, but we had a blast.
