BEAR LAKE, BABY!!! I love this place! We headed to Bear Lake for a fun filled day on the water and camping at the KOA. It was so much fun to take our anual trip with Kathy and Ty and add quite a few more. The water was perfect and the sun was hot, the best day ever. We had a great time skiing, tubing, swimming, and worshipping the sun God. :)

What an awesome time us girls (Jill, Madelynn, Cassidy, and I) had in SLC seeing High School Musical live on stage. It had a lot of the same elements as the movie with some new songs and stunts. It was so fun!
Here are some pictures that we took after Cassidy's baptism in our back yard. It was so fun to have so many family members there to take pictures of. :)
Well, here are pictures of us doing what we do best, eating once again! Cassidy was baptized at the Roy North Stake Center at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 2, 2008. She was so nervous for the baptism that she made herself sick with antcipation. Her dad, Grandma Ronna, and I spent quite a bit of time reassuring her that everything would be OK and talking her into going through with the actual baptism. She did great and everything was beautiful. Uncle (actually cousin but the kids call him uncle) Jeff said a talk about Cassidy ("SWEET") and played the guitar while I sang and Grandpa Rex said a closing prayer. All of the rest of the program was taken care of by the ward or stake. It ended up being a beautiful day surrounded by family and friends that we will never forget. It was so special to have Cassidy's dad baptize and confirm her a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Here is Cassidy's birthday BBQ with family on Friday the 1st of August. It was so great to have everyone together in our backyard to celebrate and enjoy each other's company. Jason's dad and step-mom, mom, Grandma Jane, Sister (Jill) and family, aunts, uncles, cousins and my mom and dad were able to make it. We had a wonderful time catching up and eating Jason's yummy BBQ and the salads and other dishes everyone brought for the party. It was such a great time and Cassidy recieved some lovely gifts, thanks everyone.
For those of you who don't know the 24th of July, Pioneer Day, is as big of a deal in Utah as the 4th of July is. Fireworks are legal and there is a parade and rodeos everywhere. These are pictures of the kids at our friend Emmalene's house while we watched her brother-in-laws light every firework known to man.
