Summer Fun

Scottish Festival with my Sisters
 


 
Regan's 10th Birthday. I will have to say she has a really great group of friends. I'm so proud of her!

 
Meyer Family Reunion in Tremonton Utah



 
Spending some time in Jensen with G & G Snow.



 
Brenden's first time as Scout Camp. He loved it and the girls didn't mind having a break from all the teasing.

 
Brenden's 12th Birthday.


 
Brenden has a Nerf Gun Party and Discovery Park. It must have been a successful birthday because I am still hearing about this party for friends and neighbors.
 
Snow Family Reunion in CO. Seriously we had the best time. I get a little teary eyed looking at these pictures. There were some memories made here that will never be forgotten and Stories told that I had never heard. Good times.




Antelope Island, where there are no antelope, only Bison to be found.



 
Did I mention there were Bison? Apparently they are used to visitors because this one walked right up to our car.
 
Balloon and Art Festival in Eden, Utah.


We convinced Grandpa and Grandma Meyer to come spend the Day with us.

Hill Air Force Base Museum. One very cool, and FREE museum.





Renaissance Faire at Thanksgiving point




 

Finally

January Dance Recital

 
After the show Madie stole all the attention. Yep, she a cutie!
 
 



Happy Valentines Day
 
 
Meyer Cousins

 
Having Fun at the photo booth.

 
Pirate Day at Preschool. Arrghh

 
Last year the school had a competition for the King and Queen of Green. So this year the kid piled on the green, only to find out there wasn't a competition this year. Sad, but they looked awesome!

 
Happy Birthday Mckay! 8 years old and a barrel full of fun.
 
 



Grandma and Grandpa came out for Mckay's baptism. So did a lot of other family members however I didn't get a picture of them. Thanks to everyone who came.

 
AL LAST! We waited all winter for a good hard snow only to be disappointed. Just when we gave up hope the skies opened and gave us a pile heaven to play in.

 
Quick trip to Southern Utah.

 
Zions

 
Mother's Day

 
Regan, Mckay and Kennedy with their preschool teacher, Miss Marcie. They all adored her and I'm a little sad to have my baby Graduated from Preschool. But, she is SOOOOO ready for Kindergarten.

 
My oldest is also moving on. He graduated from Elementary and is headed to Jr High. No, I'm not ready. Yes, I am that old.

 
End of year Dance Recital. Our little basement Dance Studio stated out with 2 students, Regan and Mckay. This semester we had 4 classes and a total of 22 girls! I'll try to post the movie of the girl's dance. But I love this picture because there is Regan in the back jumping up. This is so her personality.

Cancun Mexico

Cancun Mexico 2014.
 
BC&A sent the employees and their spouses on another amazing vacation. I will admit the week before we left I was so stressed and tired I was wondering if all the work would be worth the vacation. Turns out it was well worth it.
The beach right outside our hotel room.


Playa de Carmen: Local shopping hub. Do not go there unless you are prepared to be vocally attacked by every vendor on the street. They are pretty aggressive when in comes to getting you to come look in their shop. Once you were in the shop you had to ask how much for everything and then bargain it down to a reasonable price. Despite the claims; "Cheaper than Walmart," or "Almost free," nothing was actually affordable. They kept reminding us that "Not made in China, no plastico."

Tulum. Last Mayan city built before the demise of their culture and cities.

Tulum was built on a cliff by the ocean.



 
Tulum was a hard place for me to visit. I just felt this overwhelming sadness for the history that happened there. Of course my view point came from the Book of Mormon and perhaps made it sadder. However the building were fascinating to look at and the area just beautiful.

 
Sunrise above the infinity pool at the hotel.

 
Our hotel was just a mile from Puerto de Morelos. Cab fair from the hotel was insane so we decided we could walk that far. Fortunately a couple from France who has a house near by offered us a ride into town. It was a really cute sea side town. The plaza was well kept and the merchants were easier to bargain with so we ended up buying most of our souvenirs from them. There was even a local shop that sold Mexican candies and food. We pick some up for the kids to try. Most of it was really good.
 
After a week away we were glad to go home. We are thankful for Elizabeth for watching our kids and all of the neighbors that helped bus kids to activities.
