My birthday, woo hoo

I had a great birthday. My husband got me beautiful flowers.
And we went on Mt Graham for a picnic and a very fun day
we played baseball, went on a hike, ate a lot
of food, and enjoyed the campfire and scenery.

My kids picked me a whole bunch of wildflowers, Olivia
just kept picking and picking as we were hiking
she had her hands so full and everytime she dropped one
we would have to stop and pick it up. I loved just spending
time with my kids and my husband, and nothing else to
get in the way.

Blow birthday girl. This is horrible,

but since I put pictures on here that my

husband hates of him I figured I could

spare just one....

Oh I am getting OLD

and Last but not least, my yummy chocolate, major chocolate

Birthday cake that I ate for three or four more days.

mmmm mm good:-)

24th of July Celebration

We went to the rodeo for the first time, and it was fun but a lot of people.

Hunter did the Stickhorse race and the pig chase.

He enjoyed them both, He didn't win but that is ok

because we would have had to keep the pig if he caught it.

We were in the parade this year for the first time.
We painted the famous *Crazy Cart*
that Chris's Grandpa Stauffer and his Ag boys
made many moons ago, and then he handed it down
to My husband for our kids to enjoy.
Grandpa also loved parades and Chris grew up being
in a lot of them with his grandpa, so it was fitting for us
to put it in the parade in memory of DB and Beth Stauffer.

The grandest bakesale EVER!!!

YUMMY YUMMY TO MY TUMMY
These two were swindling deals all day!

I will pay you $5 of Sarah's money for that glass of lemonade

The boys had their own lemonade stand too, and did very well and got creative.

Olivia went and stole some of Sarah's money out of her room

and was buying things left and right at a very inflated price.

Yummy Cinnamon rolls

Three hard working girls:)

we made cookies, Cinnamon rolls, Bread, and rice crispy treats

This was the funnest and these girls made a lot of money, way more than we expected.

My friend Beth Green came up with this idea to help make money for school clothes for our kids,

and it worked out so well I think we should do this every year.

Thank you to all the family and friends that came to our bake sale

and made it so successful!
