Summer Highlights

So I haven't blogged for a while... I was just looking through some recent pictures and realized that I haven't blogged about a lot of fun things from our summer. So here are some of the highlights...

Fourth of July with my fam

The festive treat we made...  mini cheescakes!

Playing a little croquet

My cousin Andrew came home from his mission!

Frousins reunited! Megan, Andrew, and me

 I got a piano bench for my piano!

Our gourmet grilled cheese dinner

Gibbons family party at the park

My cowboy husband taught everyone how to rope... it was a hit!

 Quality family time... making up sweet games...

...Crashenstacky!...

Our good friend Keith and Dani got married!

We're finally married friends and not engaged and married friends haha :)

 More quality time with the fam... playing a little DDR

James got WAY into it... hehe

Fireworks on the 24th with my little bro

Josh and his friend Caitlin

We went boating with Ryan's cousin and her family

Cute Benny next to his Dad driving the boat

We got some new furniture!! :)

 I made these yummy treats... no they're not cinnamon rolls, they're sugar cookies!

 I found the recipe here. Oh man they were SO tasty and so much fun to make!

More fireworks with Ryan's family.... gotta love my brother-in-law Dyrk in the background of this picture haha :)

Messing around at Walmart...

My little brother, Josh was ordained an Elder this past Sunday!

Josh, Ryan, Grandpa Gibbons, Jonathan, Pops

All of the awesome men in my life!

Us :)

Dude with little James

 Sunday was kind of a bittersweet day. Josh was ordained an Elder but we also had to say goodbye to my sister Jenny and her cute little family, including this cute little boy. They are moving to Texas because my brother-in-law, Jonathan, is starting Optometry School. We are going to miss them all so much but we're excited for their new adventure! I'm was sorry we didn't get any pictures with Jenny and Jonathan 

that night, but here are some with cute little James.

Phew! Well that just about sums up the past month or so. This is my last week of work at the preschool. It has been a great summer job, but it will also be nice to be done. On Saturday we'll be driving out to Colorado to spend a whole week with Ryan's family before school starts up again.

It's crazy that summer's just about over, but it has been a great one! :)
