Lattin's Farm

When the cousins were here in Fallon we visited Lattin's Farm. Emma looked so cute when she went on the cow train, her little head was barely visible and just bobbed up and down.We saw a ton of animals while we were there!Ate some REALLY good Watermelon!

Saw a "Little Brown Bear, with TEETH!"
Tara first comment when she saw Emma, pretty accurate!! And Madison hung out with her favorite uncle!! She actually told me once that we should name her brother, when we had one, Uncle Don!! It was really cute!

Then we were beat!!

Cousins

So for my birthday this year I got a huge surprise!! My sister Tara, her 4 kids and my Sister in law Janet came to visit.So we had 10 of our kids, 2 I was watching, and five adults during the day!! Then that night we had 3 more kids and 3 more adults!! So my house was VERY full!! Fun but full!!

(Halle, Brielle, Jenna, Hyrum, Emma, and Madison)
Then we all headed to Brya's to enjoy some more space!!
(Wyatt, Madison, Dayton, and Paul)

One of the nights all the girls got their nails painted!

(Joy, Madison, Jenna, Emma)

And here's the boys

(Dayton, Wyatt, Brigham, Hyrum, Austin, and Paul)

Needless to say we are having a crazy week and half but it has been so fun to get everyone together!!

Soccer

So my baby has followed in my footsteps!!

Playing a real sport, Soccer!

And she had a ton of fun!Even Emma wanted to play!They play from 3:30-5:00 and let me tell you it is HOT!!They played a game called Bear and I have to admit I found it pretty funny! They would kick their balls around in a square until it went out or someone took it! You could tell it was a bunch of 4 year olds who are still being told its not ok to take someone else's thinks! They were just not getting it!! So there were a lot of tears! Then they had three on three scrimmages, which consisted of Lynnie slide tackling everyone, Makayla giggling, the boys crying and Madison running in fear!! Ok not really, she made three goals and cried at the end because Lynnie took the ball!! Again with the not getting the point of the game!! Lynnie is the only one who truly knows soccer!! As Madison shouted, after hearing one of the fathers tell their son after he was taken out by Lynnie,
"Pushing is allowed!!"
Hehehe, I love soccer!!

Swim Lessons

This summer has been a very busy one!! I don't know how people do it with more kids!! One of the many things keeping us busy was Swim Lessons!Emma was able to do two sessions and from the first to the second there was a Huge difference!!

Madison only got to do one because of conflicting things and then her surgery! She started jumping from the diving board with a noodle and ended without it!!

I was so proud of her!!

She was actually swimming instead of last year where they jumped up and down across the pool!

Look at that smile, pure joy!!

Our girls are definitely little fish and I love it!!

The Lake

As always we had the week at the lake for the Stark Reunion! We weren't able to be out the whole week but we sure had fun when we were there!

Don't you just love the hair!!

Both girls loved the Jet ski! But Madison liked it faster then Emma.

Our cute little poser!!

The ever horrible picture I post of myself, my Mom once said I should have pictures of myself so that if I die early my children will have them to remember me by!

Morbid I know but True!!

Madison had a lot of fun riding on Brad's back! And ordering him around!!

Brad and Jake had fun throwing the girls, even when they are thrown Lynnie is higher!! Not fair!!

We had so much fun with Aunt Liz, as always!

Liz, Madison and their person they made.

(Madison named it the weirdest name, I can't remember the name!!)

Yet again another fun filled week with family!!

Camping in Kingston

Our final trip for a VERY long time was to Kingston! My Dad grew up in Austin and spent some of his younger years in Kingston canyon! My Dad wanted to to go camping there and climb Bunker Hill. Which should not be called hill but ginormous mountain!!We went camping there a couple times when I was little. This time we were larger in number but still missing a lot! Matt's kids got sick just before so they were unable to come and Brad had to work. So Brya and I went without our husbands and Matt with out his family. As much as I hate to say it Matt had it right!! I will NEVER go camping without Brad again!!
We had six kids and five adults, you would think easy, not so!!

Every time I turned around Madison was clinging to her Uncle Dallyn!
And Emma was in time out!!

When she wasn't clinging she was posing for the camera!
And Em was squatting in the dirt!

The joys of feeding kids with no high chairs!! How did they do it back in the day?

So I think my favorite thing about camping is I don't wear makeup or do my hair or care what I'm wearing!! As you can tell!!

Time out AGAIN, you'd think she would catch on! Clinging again!!
The last morning we were there was a bit cold! Jenna was lucky Grammie had an extra sweatshirt, and I had a camera!! What a cutie!!
What a shot!

The camping trip was fun and enlightening all at the same time!! I learned its not the most fun going without your husband. Madison learned that when she has a UTI she screams every time she goes to the bathroom, and Emma learned if you look cute at your uncles they will pick you up!

The only bad thing about the trip was we were missing my sister Tara and her family, Charlie and his wife and Mike on his mission!! We sure missed them!!
