The Last Days of Summer

Summer has come and gone!  Even though August isn't completely over, our summer is.  Here's a look at the last days of our summer break.

Rumor has it we had a Broadbent Family Reunion. (I wouldn't know since my sister decided to share the flu with me.)  A few great moments were captured.







Unfortunately I shared too and these next two pictures is how our reunion ended.






Never fear....another reunion is around the corner
The Baird Family Reunion......(I had vertigo -- can't win!)

Hurray!  Another cabin to stay in!!!!





Bear Lake
(Can you guess what Tianne is doing?)

















A new phase of life started this summer...




I'm not sure how happy I am with this one.





Balloon Festival!
Nothing like rolling out of bed really early in the summer!!




The last hurrah picnic with the cousins









One last quick hike to see a dried up waterfall.
Shayla was too popular spending the night at her cousins than to hike with us.




Summer can't end without a baseball game...
PLAY BALL!!!


  

I love these people!  I can't imagine a more perfect summer than being with this family!
Thanks for the fun...

Look what happened...

First this...


Then this.....


  Then this....


Then this.... 


 Then this....


Then THIS!!


B! Y! U!

What do you say when your cousin calls and asks if you want to go to BYU cheer camp with her?  You say YES!!  What a blast!!  The girls loved it and the cheerleaders loved our girls!  Little T was so sad she wasn't big enough to join this year.




Sisters with sisters!



Cambree with her twin!
(apparently this cheerleader looked just like Cambree as a little girl)


More sisters!!


The girls thought it was pretty neat that there were two sets of sisters on the cheerleading team.  The cheerleaders loved having sisters in the camp.  It was so much fun to see new skills learned and to see them having a ball.  Surprisingly enough Shayla won the loudest yell competition! (Who knew) This is a definite must do again!

Two Hands!!!

It's happened!  Shayla has left the single digit life for a life of double digits!  
She uses two whole hands to say her age!  How? What? When? Why?

Dinner at the Dodo!! Is the best way to celebrate!




Happy Birthday! My #1 baby!  Please slow down now.  We only have a few more years together.  I love you!!

Mid-Summer

July was a little better than June, but still low on energy.  We still managed to cram in as much as possible!!


A little friendly competition with the neighbors.
(Shayla won!!)




A trip to Southern Utah for some beautiful hikes!










Plenty of Swimming



Javelin throwing!!
(what? what do you do with your summer?)




 Hanging out with HOT men!



 Cousins!



 FLoats




Summer wouldn't be summer without a good shark story.



Fireworks!



Exercise...



And just hanging out and relaxing.



June is Busting!


June has been hard!  Despite the struggles that we faced, I still think we managed to have some fun!  Here's how we hang....
