The 4th and Such....

Life has been so busy lately. Honestly, we knew this summer would be busy but it has been going full speed ahead and I see no sign of slowing down. We have had one of the funnest summers ever. Visiting friends and family and traveling to places we have never been. We went to Kanab for the fourth of July and my 10 year class reunion. Both were so fun and I always love going home. Our whole family was in town for the holiday except for Casey's oldest kids and Clayton. The kids were with their dad and Clayton has to go with the catering crew to feed the firefighters and we all know what a busy fire season it has been so far. We will be lucky if we see him at all this summer. The kids are tanned up and bleached out but we couldn't ask for a better time.  

The Sharps came to town and we went to our favorite Mexican place.

O had his one year check up and shots. He is healthy as an Ox and growing wonderfully.

Candy at the parade!!

Chan and Gina. They were kidless as well this year :(

Grandpa Cutler bought all of the kids hermit crabs at the park. Thanks Grandpa! It's the gift that keeps on giving!

I have been so impressed with Grace this year. She seems to have grown so much and it doesn't feel like she is my little girl anymore. She is taking on so much responsibility and is growing up so fast. I caught her doing dishes for me the other day.

On our morning drive. I love where I live.

In light of the upcoming election, Mikey thought he would fall off the bed and get an America shaped scratch on his face.

Me and Kenna

Owen fell asleep on Parker. So cute.

We went to Lagoon with the Collins kids before they headed to Oregon. It was SO much fun!

This was the fire by Scipio. It was so close to the road!

It was so hot in Kanab, who needs clothes!

The Cedar Mountain fire

I'm not sure why, but this picture makes me tear up. Maybe because I remember how crazy my dad used to be about his lawn. It was like carpet when I was growing up.

Just like the old days. My mom making me pancakes. Except now she has my baby on her hip instead of my baby brother.

Oh Ebbi.

Cutler sistas

Another big thing that took place in Kanab, Grace was running at the park and ran right into a guy. It knocked her front tooth almost all of the way out! Poor girl was so miserable and I finally told her I would pay her 5 bucks to pull it out.

A little bribery always works.

Gassing up to head home. We left Kanab at 10:30
