Mustang Days 2011

**Due to a mistake with my picture account and a computer crash, we sadly lost our pictures from June and July 2011 - however, some of them ended up in the 2012 Calendar I made**

Taysum has been going to a school program called Pup's Club. It's a summer program where they get to read, do crafts, sing songs, play games and just have a good time! I was hired as a sub and have had a great time helping out and getting to be with Taysum! The week of Mustang Days, they were in the park. This is the robot Taysum drew with sidewalk chalk.

Friday night, Ken and the kids went camping with my family. Matt and Megan were in town, so it was a fun group. I kept Hayden home because he was pretty sick. Saturday was the parade and it was a beautiful day. The kids had a lot of fun and really enjoyed all the candy! We sat with Chad's family. This was our crew!

Carissa was on the Dance Academy float. Bailey had been invited as well, but she didn't get back from camping in time. The little girl to the left is in my primary class! :)

Matt rode on his 10 year High School reunion float.

Later that evening, we had a family dinner at Uncle Dan's. It was really nice to see everyone and we had a great time! I love my family!!

After the dinner, we got the kids all ready for bed and then headed to Horse Shoe Bend for the fireworks! We took a movie for the kids to watch on Ken's laptop. Best. Idea. Ever!!

It was a little crazy this year. We were sitting next to some noisy neighbors. Then, just before the finale, someone started to leave and was shining their headlights right in our faces for a long time which made it hard to see the fireworks. Then they went tearing through! It was scary and annoying! Usually, I'm a lot more into Mustang Days, but this year I was sick and Hayden was sick. We still had a nice time, though!

  1. I love all of the updates on you and your family. You have been busy! Your pictures from Devil's Tower are beautiful! We've never stopped there before, but after seeing your pictures, we really need to. It looks way fun. I loved reading about your road trip. It sounds like it was a great trip. It seems like everytime we venture out with our herd of littles, we always have a puker. Road trips with kids are hard, but they always leave sweet memories....I wanted to thank you for the thoughtful letter you sent Grace. She was beaming when she read it and she has it up in her room. It really meant a lot to her that you would send her a card. That was so sweet of you. We should really get together one of these days....maybe you could come out and we could BBQ.
