We Laugh Our Way Through!: This One Might Get Long...Embrace Yourselves

Man! Has it really been over a month since I Blogged? I didn't think I would miss it, but secretly I do!

I went on my run tonight and probably ran only half the time. Who cares though right? It felt great, my legs are a little jello-y and I feel good. Anyway I was walking and thinking...about how I need to blog.

On my runs I think up all these things I want to blog about, and then I get home and don't even come close to the computer. How sad. So tonight...HERE I AM! I DID IT! Yeah!

First, a recap on Our crazy June escapades!

After a night long drive, we pulled into Bear Lake right at sunrise...I surprisingly had a great time driving all night! I had some added energy from somwehwere...I think

The sun was in front of us and the moon was behind us!

It was FREEZING!

Cook family reunion. Martin getting all the little cousins to build a sand castle!

Cousins were wiped out. Audrie NEVER naps!

The next weekend I had a roommate reunion! I love my Beach House Girls!

We certainly missed those who couldn't make it!

We enjoyed a day at Ryan's Place Park! The Kids LOVED IT!

My Mom keeps pictures of all the grandchildren at 2...so I followed Andrue around snapping away, he certainly has some funny faces!

He loved blowing the sand...that is all he did, all day...

My little Budah...

First good picture I have ever gotten of all three of them!

Took a trip to Bountiful...My childhood home!

We stayed with MY grandparents for a few days in Bountiful over the Fourth of July.

The kids LOVED helping Uncle D and Great grandpa in the big beautiful GARDEN!

I LOVE my grandparents...So glad I got to spend this time with them! My kids loved it!

The Sugar snaps were delisious!

Grandpa has always had such beautiful roses!

Fourth of July at Eaglewood golf coarse! The kids LOVED staying up late watching the show! It was awesome!

Audrie was privileged enough to stay up for "adult time" as she called it! Her and Grandma had "drinks"

Audrie got hold of the camera, thankfully, They never let anyone take their pictures! This is Audrie great grandma...they share a birthday, just 80 years apart!

Silly Grandpa!

My Silly girl! Telling everyone how to pose for pictures...

We had a 4th of July Breakfast. We use to do this all the time as kids growing up. We decided to do it again. It was awesome seeing all my cousins and their kids. We took them out and did the Pledge with them. grandpa was proud!

grandpa was in the Navy during WWII and was on Iwo Jima when the flag went up. He is a special man to all of us.

Andrue LOVED them!

we took a day trip to WY to see Grandma Cook! They played in the water and we had a lunch outside! It was a lot of fun!

MARTIN FINALLY came, and we spent the night in SLC...in this crazy room! Ooohh lala!

Back to Bear Lake! We Love it here! Always such a beautiful view!

To the Beach for one more Family Reunion!

Tubing! For the first time...Audire LOVED it!

Martin threw her off on her first time around! He didn't think I was funny taking pictures of her crying...

Andrues FAVORITE! He would point and say Cycle! I took him out the first time and let him Drive...he did his fake whistle and was screaming out of joy! I let him steer...(he could hardly reach both handles...) but insisted on doing it himself...he full throttled it the entire time...a bit too much like mom! Almost threw me off!
