The Jorgensen's House!

In July we went to Oregon to visit our friends that we left behind a year ago.  It was so fun to stay with the Jorgensens in their beautiful new home on the river!!  They were the perfect hosts and provided so much fun food and fun!!

My favorite memory of the whole trip, the night Leanne and I kayaked down the river together, just chatting and soaking in our surroundings.  I love that girl and my river!!

Fourth of July

The Fourth of July with the kids was so much fun!!  We started the morning quite early staking out a sweet spot on the parade route (which Dad and Doug guarded) and then heading over to the star of the freedom festival run.  After the run we watched the parade and then headed up to Canyon Glenn park where Aunt Katy and Aunt Cat had staked out a great area for our BBQ.  After that we headed up to Danny Gunnell's house for the fireworks show.  It was a fun packed day!!
