Another cute baby!

I was lucky enough to have the chance this week to shoot another gorgeous baby. He was so good and so alert. No sleeping photos for him. It was a lot of fun. Here are a few shots:

Isn't he cute?!!!

Picnic in the Park

Last week, we got together for a little picnic at the park in Syracuse with Mike's family. His Aunt Susie & Uncle Sheldon were there, and their daughter was in from Texas.

Tanner was a cutie and helped entertain Cameron on the playground.

Cameron loved to follow Tanner down the slide.

Everyone (except for me) played a nice little game of volleyball.

Mike's got the moves!

The kids had a great time playing in the sand.

Cameron was a mess, of course.

More games

At the end of the night, we dodged the sprinklers and built a fire near the playground. It was a fun family activity.

Girl's Night

These are some of my girls from the Foxboro 3rd ward. We like to get together once a month to hang out, eat junk, and chat, chat, chat. It is a lot of fun. This was our second to last get together with my good friend, and former neighbor, Jennifer Anderson. Our last one was to Eclipse :) We'll miss you Jen!

Annual Marchant/Jackson/John/Greene Summer BBQ

Every summer and Christmas, our friends, Levi and Jenny Greene, fly in from North Carolina to hang out with us. Just kidding. They come to see their family AND hang out with us. This year, the annual summer BBQ was at the John's house in Farmington. We loved hanging out in their awesome backyard, eating yummy food, letting our kids roam the neighborhood and playing in their newly finished upstairs family room.

Monica & Jenny

Brooklyn & Hallie could have played outside all night. It's a good thing they didn't, though, because I got eaten up by mosquitos.

The kids were FILTHY-- all ten of them. The bath water was nasty when we were done.

I loved this picture of Brandon and Grady with his cheeto face.

Of course, Tom stole the camera again.

This was another one of Tom's pictures. He looks happy, doesn't he.

Cameron and Grady couldn't get along. They kept fighting over toys.

The kids were excited to run through the sprinklers. Joni did it in style!

Look at that feast! We're looking forward to the annual Christmas party when we can do it all again. Maybe we'll have to pull out the karaoke and see if the Greene's have gotten any better over the years. :) We miss you!

More fun Baby photos

My best friend, Monica, wanted me to take some pictures of her 7 month old baby, Carly. She was so happy and they turned out great.

July 4th

Yes, we went to Stadium of Fire this year, and it was AWESOME!

The kids liked all of the acts before the fireworks but they had to play with Daddy's phone to keep them busy in between.

Cameron didn't love the cannons during the national anthem or the flyover from the jets.

But he did great with the rest of the show. He was dancing most of the time.

Of course, the highlight of the show was Carrie Underwood. She is amazing. She sang one of my favorite hymns, "How Great Thou Art." It was awesome.

And, of course, the fireworks.

Sunday, July 4, was my Dad's 52nd birthday. We went to church with my sister and celebrated the rest of the day at her house in Eagle Mountain.

Our tiny little firework show-- I think we all had more fun watching all of the neighbors' crazy illegal fireworks.

Cameron didn't like sitting through all of the fun.

Sparklers!

Grandma Julie bought these awesome swords for the kids to fight with in the dark. They loved them. It was a good weekend.

Thirty-One

Last week, Mike turned 31. We had a little backyard BBQ with some of our friends to celebrate the fact that Mike is another year older.



We finally have grass back there and we were really happy that the backyard is shady in the afternoon.



The kids decided to play dress-ups. Don't they look cute?



This is our little friend, Jackson. The picture was too beautiful. I had to post it. Good job Mike!



The little kids played in the dirt...


while the big kids played on the tramp.



Mike enjoying his real birthday treat

Hallie and Bryant found the stash of vampire teeth in the Halloween stuff and passed them out. Very festive.
