Family Reunions







We started the Fuller Reunion at lunch time. 





We shared stories about Grandpa and Grandma's lives and had tables with artifacts from their lives.

We forgot our camera at the Shurtz reunion, but had a wonderful time with the blow dart guns and visiting with the family.

Grandpa and Gramie come for a Visit






My parents came for a week to visit.  We enjoyed having special time while they were here.

Madelyn enjoyed the special toys that they brought for her.  My mom painted a tea set for her.  We frequently have tea parties now.  Also, as my parents brought my old Cabbage Patch baby doll and another one they found, Maddie became a mother of twins.  She LOVES to walk them in the stroller and feed them their bottle.

 We took several walks along the Provo River Trail and saw a lovely view of Mt Timp.



 While we were outside swinging, Todd said that this tree would probably crack.  Within a few minutes, the wind blew, and it sure did crack!
 We visited Grams and Gordon.

 Mom did several projects for us, like cleaning the blinds and windows.













Dad and Todd built the patio table together.












They did a great job! 


 We also prepared for the two reunions that was within the week they were here.  In this picture, we were preparing the boxes so the Fullers could have a junking experience.

Fun Time with the Fishers

 While Todd was attending Youth Conference, Madelyn and I went to spend the weekend with the Fishers.  I am so glad we did, since we had a full weekend of fun.  We visited the Ogden Dinosaur Park. 

 Madelyn enjoyed her first visit with the dinosaurs as we went with the Corbins and Jill. 
  


 While we were there, we saw some of the most dangerous creatures!  They were pretty scary!

 Afterwards, Jill treated everyone to a delicious lunch at the Rainbow Gardens.

 
The next day was the Clinton Heritage Days.  Roger and I ran the 5k race. 
 Roger came in first for his age group and I came in second for mine. Jill and Madelyn were there to cheer for us.  Afterwards we went to the breakfast and than the parade.

There was still plenty of candy thrown out to us even as it was raining.  
 Madelyn waved her flag and waved to all the people.  I think since she was so cute, we might have gotten  a little more candy and otter pops thrown our direction.  She loved the parade. 

 For July 24th, we headed to spend the day with the family. 

 We had a cookout.  Todd helped with the grilling.

 We loved seeing the entire family!

During July





During July, we stayed busy playing together.  Madelyn loves her Daddy, as she consistently says "Da Da" for pretty much everything.





She loves to bang on the keyboard.





She loves playing with all the shoes.




Todd couldn't believe the position she could actually sleep in.





We visited Grams and Gordon. 





Madelyn loves to help Daddy as he works on his home improvement projects.






We enjoyed Seven Peaks Water Park several times during the month. 





Maddie is such a fast crawler when she gets excited for something.
