Part 2


After our fun time in Utah we made our way up to Rexburg for our traditional 4th of July family reunion. I LOVE being home for the 4th and love that all of my family gets together to celebrate. If you want to see 5 million pictures of my family at the Rexburg parade you've come to the right place :)...





A few of my cousins (and my newest SIL Leslie!)

These chairs my Aunt K brought were so cute and perfect for the little ones


Charlotte, Griffin and Wyatt


G consumed about 25 suckers that day










My brother David and his fiance Leslie
yes, they always match their clothes ;)


Becca and Ben


Sharing a sucker with Grandpa


my little wanderer


After a delicious BBQ at the house we headed down to the splash park for some water fun and a ride on the carousel




Wyatt and Griffin- too cute!


Getting ready for the firework extravaganza
my dad always puts on



Babies playing in the fireworks. hmmmm...


G loved his glow-stick and thought it was hilarious
to put it on his binki as a glowing mustache



A few days later we celebrated my moms 45th birthday ;)...
we went to dinner and surprised her with an ipad that she had been dying to get but didn't think she would get one till Christmas.


Here she is when she realized what it was....


The funny thing is my brother Daniel in this picture....?!!
Hilarious!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

We had only planned to stay a little over a week but 20 mins before we were leaving to go to the airport
little G threw up and ended up having the flu all day
(we all ended up getting it)...
so plans changed and we were able to spend another week in Rexburg. Minus getting sick it was a lot of fun. I got to do a session in the Rexburg Temple for the first time and we spent a lot of time playing in the yard and of course hanging out with friends and family. It was a perfect July.

Can anyone say "teeth please?!"


Beautiful Temple just a few blocks from my house

I love all of these pictures. (It made me a little Barker homesick though...maybe another sleep over soon?) Griffin is a rockstar and I just want to kiss him! Your face in the picture of your mom opening her iPad is precious. I actually got a little choked up (don't roll your eyes) cuz you can just tell how much she means to you and how excited you were to get that for her. Or maybe you were trying to hold in a toot, one or the other.
