Summer 2010- Part ONE...

Summer started early for us this year! After Annie's fantastic Talent Show performance of the "Hoe-Down Throwdown" (that's her singing in front! Isn't she cute??)


...and another super-cute Pre-K performance (this one was the "I've Bloomed" concert)...







...and a special "half-birthday" celebration for Mr. H...












...our family left school early to attend the wedding of cousin Jessica Hauser in the Salt Lake Temple! Here are the kiddos relaxing on the bed. (Notice that Mags has an ear in each hand- she is always looking for skin when she's tired- fortunately, sibs are willing to oblige)






kiddos waiting outside while Mom and Dad attend the ceremony- GORGEOUS day!

We got to see LOTS of Jones/Hauser cousins- and cousins' kids- which was extra special! It was such a treat to see the family and enjoy that time together.

Sophie got to meet Charlotte...




and we loved on Aunt Cheri and her sweet grandbabies (Jackson and Isaac here with Mags and Henry)




Annie got to see Emily- her special buddy- and Grandma Jones in her cute red hat





and we ate our WEIGHT in icecream at the reception... (That's what happens with five kids run loose at a reception with an ice cream bar... I think this was Soph's fourth or fifth cone...)





and if that wasn't enough... we went to BYU (and had more icecream) and got indoctrinated by our parents on the merits of a BYU education... (can't start too young!! :)





(See!? They're even making a "Y" in the Wilk... Be still my heart...)

So, back home for the rest of our fake Washington Summer... ugh. I think it was maybe 60 degrees on the Fourth of July? Didn't dampen our spirits though- we had a very festive blast of a time at the Reddings









we even decorated our scooters and had a parade!
...with our own police escort

Mom left the next day to go to Girl's Camp for a week- with thirty first year girls! It was a total blast- and even made for the first summer-like break in the weather! (Finally!)

More to come!
