Every year we spend the 24th of July at my parents house. They live in the small town Monroe. It's great to get the kids together with their cousins. My parents have a big yard full of great things for them to play with. There is a parade with lot's of candy. It was kind of bitter sweet this year. My parents might be selling their house to move closer to family. It might be our last time at the Monroe parade. They have a great house that has plenty of room for everyone to sleep. So, we are excited that they might move closer to us. We would love to spend more time with them. The sad part is that be might not have the opportunity to celebrate the 24th in such a great place. Here are some of the pictures of the parade on July 24th.
What a great looking bunch of boys.

Mike and Aaron

I wonder what they're looking at.

Kayden close your mouth.

This is what they were looking at. As a mother I'm so afraid that this is already starting. Please just give me ten more years where all girls are gross except for your mom.

Tyson and Dylan are taking after the older boys.

I had to get a shot of what they were staring at.

This is where the old men watch......from a distance.

Easton is suffering from a sugar rush.

Easton ate every candy he picked up. It was usually with the wrapper on.

We don't know what this guy with the messed up tee shirt was doing with us. Just kidding Dax. Maybe we can bring him back from the DARK side some day.

My sister is trying to decide if she will use this for her wedding. It use to be our moms.

Easton trying to take Grandma's hat.

After the parade we headed back to my parents house. Here are some more pictures of the kids playing.

My parents have a great big swing set that is even great for adults. Tyler spent most of his day pushing the kids. He got a work out to say the least. He got so much air, which made most the kids laugh. I think a few cried, but they always came back for more.

Why not end the day with a little baseball.

Everyone had such a great day. We were all worn out.

I think Braxton loved this the most. Grandpa kept tickling him. He loves to have his back tickled.

The Ring

Tyson has his first crush on the neighbor girl Aubrey. He loves to play with her. When they play together, Aubrey can do no wrong. She is the one who rides shot gun in the jeep, while Braxton hangs on the back. While we were in Canada, Tyson came up to me and said that when we got back to Utah he had a special surprise for Aubrey. We were at a park surrounded by trees, so I couldn't image what it was. He smiled and held up a little ring that he had found. He then put it in his pocket to keep it safe. When Tyler heard, he told him not to tell her that he found it. Look at that, dad is already coaching him and he is only five. I decided to take a few pictures just before he headed over to deliver the ring.
