Cute. Cute. Rachel & Sarah

Rachel & Sarah are cousins. Lucky lucky cousins. They turned 10 this year, a month apart. They are good friends. They are cute and funny and have imaginations that never end.
We had a Friday night sleep over at my house. We packed a picnic and went to Wheeler Farm, where they posed for picture after picture and got sillier by the minute. We went to the dollar store for treats, went to my place where they watched AND performed Mama Mia in my living room. Saturday morning we picked up Grandpa for yard sales and breakfast.
Here's just a sampling of the fun at Wheeler Farm. CUTE CUTE GIRLS!!!!

They thought this picture in the out house was such a FUNNY ONE!!!

GOOD FRIENDS.....almost sisters!!

WE LOVE JULY!!!

Thanks to the Mormon Pioneers we have 2 July celebrations every summer! The first on the 4th of July for INDEPENDENCE DAY. Then on the 24th, we celebrate the pioneers entering into the Salt Lake Valley. Both parties are always, lots of fun.

This year on the 4th there was swimming, a BBQ and fireworks on Grandpa's driveway.

For the 24th, Mom & Dad hosted the combination Birthday party and 24th of July celebration in their backyard. The kids swam in the kids pool and slid down the slip and slide, then we had a watermelon eating contest, a balloon tossing game and a delicious meal of pulled pork sandwiches. After dinner we had our annual 24th of July parade. The kids decorate their bikes, wagons and, this year, their rip sticks and march around the block carrying grandpa's giant USA Flag. Cottonwood Heights has a firework display every 24th that ends the month of celebration perfectly.

It was especially fun to have Brett and Jenn and their family here for the celebration.
ENJOY THE PICTURES below from the festivities!!

HAPPY JULY BIRTHDAY's to ADAM, MATT & ERIN!!!
