Fourth of July

We began our Independence Day celebration with a ward breakfast and bike parade. The boys were thrilled to decorate and ride their scooters around and around. I don't think they ate much breakfast, but we all had a good time.
After Shea was done cooking, he and a few buddies headed up the mountain to celebrate their right to keep and bear arms.
We traveled to Provo to visit my grandparents and have lunch and got home right in time to head to Shea's grandparents for an early evening party.
We ended the night by having a bbq with good friends in our neighborhood, wonderful food, and watching the valley fireworks from our front lawn.
I have to confess--I did not take one picture on the Fourth of July. So, all these are stolen from my good friend, Jerianne. Thank you for being so on-the-ball!

Taylor Family Reunion 2009--Bear Lake Utah









Kelly and Todd planned a fun three-day vacation/reunion for Shea's parents, brothers, sisters and families.  We stayed in 5 little cabins about 1/4 mile from the south end of the lake.  Despite the bugs, the cold, and the rain, we all had a great time.  It is so nice to just enjoy one another's company and great food together!  The kids all had a wonderful time...with 18 cousins there it was a little crazy and a lot of fun.
