My Mom, Madeline, me, Cloee and Courtney all swimming
at my aunt Deb's pool!
We were practicing going under the water!
I cannot believe how much I love this picture!
I walked in on them reading before bed and
Madeline was SO HaPPY!
Trevor's birthday, we used to tease, lasts all month long!
So, to celebrate, we went out to dinner with them! :)
We ate at this fun little mexican restaurant!
Super-BaBy!
She LOVES grandpa Dan!
and of course she LOVES to play with Grandma Beck!
We went with Dave's parents, Becky and Dan,
to hike up Desolation, in Millcreek Canyon.
This was Madeline's first time in this backpack!
She has been to little to fit in it until now!
We just hiked up 2miles to the lookout point... isn't it gorgeous!
Sunday, July 20th, my Grandpa Skeen turned 80!!!
We are all so happy that his health is back to normal!
(He is the one that passed out at Madeline's baby blessing)
We LOVE YOU Grandpa Skeen!
Four Generations
this is my "mellow Madeline"
She loves to watch everybody!
Some of the Grays met up at the Property on Sunday, July 20th.
All of the Mack side was there, (three of the five Mack kids live out of state and had
flown in to visit, except Grant and Stephanie.)
.... but guess who walked up the driveway and nearly gave Debbie (Grant's mom)
a heart attack!!! They had surprised EVERYONE and flew in to see everybody!
It was soooo FUN!
I have a new CRUSH!
This is Grant and Steph's Bronson.
Grandma Geegee was in heaven!
Dave and cousin Melissa with their little ones!
These are Melissa and Roberts darling kids with Madeline!
( Madeline, Lilly, Ashley, and Matthias- did I spell his name right?)
Madeline with grandma GeeGee!
We got to go with Nate and Cami to the 1812 Overture in Deer Valley
The Utah Symphony was outstanding and played pieces
by Leonard Bernstein, some arrangements of Billy Joel's works, and more!
Then they concluded with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture while the cannons
blasted as they played!
We just discovered this year how delectable the carrot cake
cupcakes are!!!
And the boys went back for seconds, or was it thirds?!?!?!
Dave and I are totally AMerican Idol junkies!!!
We did not miss a single episode last season, so
we couldn't wait to see them LIVE!
David Archuletta was as adorable and loveable as Ever!
I almost cried because the crowd cheered like crazy for him!
How cool!!!
David Cook was wonderful too!!!
He sang 4 or 5 songs, he is definitely made to perform!
David Cook video-taped the audience for a keepsake!
Look at how many people!
We missed Cam and Danielle so much at Island Park that we
tried to relive the campfire scene!
So, we went up Millcreek Canyon and ate tinfoil dinners!
(Court, Danielle, Cam, my Mom, Cloee, my Dad, Me, Dave and Madeline)
We like to "dance, dance, dance!" That is the only way
she will hold my hand!
(Do you like our hoodies?!)
Like I said, we like to DaNCe!
7-eleven!!! (07-11-08)
We went to 11 different stores to get free 7.11oz slurpees!
My mom doesn't like them so we went to another gas station
to get her Dr.Pepper!
don't worry, this is about as close as Madeline got to one...
