the 4th

As always, we had a GREAT 4th of July holiday
and like every holiday, I tried desperately to get one picture of everybody smiling, but of course, it didn't happen. But here they are in their 4th of July church clothes.


In case you haven't noticed, all our 4th of July's go in the exact same order every year. There was one difference this year, the Dawson side was out of town:(, so we didn't get to celebrate with them. I won't go through all the details, here's just a bunch of pictures from this year.


Uncle Luke and Aunt Lisa brought some awesome Indian reservation fireworks down from Montana this year.


I asked Ben to take a gal pal picture, and he took it, and said it was good. Well, I should have not taken his word, because Lisa's eyes were closed, and Jess and Shan are in the shadows. Next time we'll have someone else do it.

Uncle Luke scouting out left over candy for Carly



Oh, the excitement of the parade


impromptu picture of the Jay Jenkins posterity minus Elder Jenkins

Hailey squealed when ever anyone other than miss Emma got in the baby pool with her

I had to crop out the rest of Carly's 2 sizes too big x-rated swimsuit

They didn't last long in the baby pool, they cried to be in the big pool

Abigail with her pink hair and her favorite pink swimsuit.

No pictures of Luke during the swim party... I forgot his swimsuit, so he was only in his bum huggers.
