Summertime....and the Livin' is CRAZY!!!

WARNING: THIS POST MAY CAUSE PHOTO OVERLOAD!!!

Let's just begin by saying June was crazy town around here...

We started the month by celebrating this guy's 60th birthday.

It began as a surprise and ended up being fun but NO surprise.

And...when I finally figure out how to download all of Brooke's

pictures that she took of the festivities I will dedicate a post

purely to Mike's day. Just know that it was a fabulous group

effort on the part of the Williams girls.

GABI'S GRADUATION!!

Next came Gabi's Pre-School Graduation...

luckily it fell on a Friday so I could be in attendance.

I missed both Minie and Jude's graduations

:(

In summary....she is brilliant!!

GIRLS CAMP 2011

Then came a couple of days & nights at Girl's Camp.

I was a slacker at documenting but this was

the banquet the final night and it was

a great time at Mutual Dell.

SULLY'S FIRST BIRTHDAY!!

Next came Sully's First Birthday...

Robyn came up to help with Mike's

party and had what we called a

"Stay-cation". She and her crew were

here for most of the month. So we got

to celebrate with this little man.

Angel boy wore this crown all day long....

he even came and visited me at work in it.

Sweet, sweet Sully. So lucky to have

you with us on your big day!! XO

MINIE'S DANCE RECITAL!!

Next up was MIss Minie's Dance Performance.

I blitzed straight from work to down town SLC

where she was performing.

Cutest little Kittie in the whole world...

and she is a natural. She is the best

in her class so she was front and center

so all the others could follow her lead.

BELLA'S 3RD BIRTHDAY!!

And then we had Bella's 3rd Birthday party...

Vanessa planned a delightful Unicorn Party.

Check out all the fanciful food and treats.

This party was to die for!!

Don't you love the unicorn horns??

THE BERSET SISTER'S VISIT!!

Next we had the great pleasure of having the

Berset sisters in town for a visit.

What a kick it was to be with these four!!

This was our Temple Square visit.

It was great to see these ladies and the

dynamics of the sisters together.

We had a wonderful visit.

It was too short but MOST sweet. It left us

wanting MORE!!!

BACKYARD FUN!!!

The high water conditions have kept us out of the

canyons....too scary with so many toddlers.

So, we improvised and had our own fires

and s'more making right in our own back yard.

Ezra just gets cuter and cuter by the minute!

MINIE'S 4TH BIRTHDAY!!

The first of July brought MORE birthdays....

Miss Minie Moo turned 4 and had a fantastic

"Garden Party" in Grandma Alice's backyard.

Nannie forgot her camera....but not to worry...

we had a little celebration in my back yard too!

*** THE FORTH OF JULY ***

And then came the 4th of July...

and the annual Hidden Oaks celebration.

The Williams Family Patriots were in the parade,

of course!!

All the kids wore their numbers (according

to Grandpa Mike's numbering system). You'll

have to ask for an explanation sometime...

it's too complicated to detail here.

TRULY.

Ezzie...stop the cuteness. You're killing us!!

After the annual neighborhood breakfast, we

enjoyed Sidewinder Falls, the bounce house,

a BBQ with Grandma Billie and the gang, and

fireworks compliments of Thanksgiving Point.

Whew....what a month!!!

The Lamoreaux clan headed back to St. George

and I headed back to work and I think we are

ALL exhausted.

Let's do it all again next year!

XOXOXO
