One Fun Summer!

We have had a fun summer, full of popcicles and fun in the sun! Papa Regali built a little water slide off of his deck. Just in case the kids were looking for another fun thing to do!

We spent the 4th of July in St George. What a great time to go! It was like a ghost town. The boys know that Papa will always find some money for the ice cream truck.

Adam was kind enough to share with Papa. He was walking around saying, "Papa, you too nice." In his cute little 2 year old voice.



There was a bit of time, in this fountain, where Charlie and Adam were the only kids. That would never happen any other time. Charlie was pretending to be Avatar, controling the water.









It was a lot of fun to spend time with Paul and Allyson, and her kids, India and Owen. We lit fireworks in front of the house, to celebrate the 4th of July!
India, Allyson, and Owen, enjoying the spectacular firework display!





On the 5th of July, we were thrilled to get a new cousin/nephew. Kellan Thomas Ray was born. Ben and Lori are his Mom and Dad.
Eight days later, we got ANOTHER cousin. Todd, my nephew, and his wife, Tracy, welcomed a little girl Alexis Lilly Richards. I will post a picture later.
We took dinner to Ben, Lori, and Kellan. Charlie had a great time being teased by Uncle Ben!
These are some super cute boys! Luke, Adam, Drew, and Charlie were having a good time at our summer time play date.
July 14th marke our 9th wedding anniversary. We went to Logan, hiked to the wind caves, then went to watch our nephew Hunter's soccer tournament. It was a great day! I'm lucky to have such a wonderful husband!



We discovered that Hunter wears number 20, which was special to Christian. It was his high school number.

Adam does not like to have his teeth brushed. In this picture he was hiding under Charlie's bed, so I couldn't get him!
Popcicles are essential to summer fun. In our house bibs and hardfloors are required.
On August 4th, while we were in Washington, we were blessed with one more baby! Garrett Don Ray was born. Josh and Kelly are his parents, and Logan and Payton are his very proud brothers!
Last Friday we had a little field trip to Wheeler Farm. Quinci and Ellen were with us. Grandma Sheri and SueAnn came with Jocelyn, Hunter, and Darcy. Kylie and McKenna were dropped off at the salon so that Uncle Christian could do their hair for school.

Charlie and Ellie Girl are the best of friends, like two peas in a pod.
