3 anniversaries, 4 birthdays and a day for dads

In June, our family celebrates all three girls' anniversaries, Nana's birthday, Gracie's birthday, Allie's birthday and Raleigh's birthday and of course Father's Day.  And so every year during the week of the 15th of June, we all get together and have a BIG party.
Our first activity was a night in Pine Valley
We made poor Brother stay in his car seat the whole night
Peyton wore her favorite dress with "pokanuts" on it
Raleigh prepared the pit....
For Dutch oven Apple Cobbler that was melt in your mouth Divine
Papa and Peyton found deer
Ryker happily stayed in his car seat
The next night, we celebrated our Anniversaries a Sukura
Raleigh and I posed for pictures while every one else ate SICK sushi
I love this picture of my mom.  She'll hate it.
Brent catching shrimp
Papa catching shrimp
Kami getting ready to catch shrimp, but I love this picture
The girls got to go play with Kori's kids while we were eating

We didn't even have any injuries
And brother finally got to get out of his car seat
The next day, we woke up and got ready for church.  The girls were very wiggly.  And there was a man there with an eye patch and he unfortunately sat right behind us and Peyton turned around in her chair and said really loudly "look Nana, a pirate"  We wanted to get up and leave but that would have been even more awkward right?
It was Nana's birthday
She was so happy because she is finally 29
This was Peyton just before........
She was stung by a wasp....  Poor girl
Happy Birthday to all,  Happy Anniversary to all, Happy Fathers Day to all


It was such a fun weekend, super hot, we gained 10 pounds and we laughed 1000 times.  I love my family.

Oh for heaven's sake...get those pictures of me off there. Every one is just awful. Maybe you can leave the one of me blowing out my bday candles, it doesn't show my face or much else, so it can stay but GET RID of the others.

It was a fun weekend. We loved having you here with us and look forward to your next visit. Sorry about Peyton's wasp sting but it didn't seem to bother her too much...she's tough!

I had a wonderful birthday, thanks to me sweet family. You guys are the greatest!

So fun! I totally love your family. Honestly as I looked at pictures I was thinking how beautifully your mom is aging. She passed on some great genes- like legs and all:)

It was fun to get to see you guys and actually spend a little time together. Gracie is going through Peyton and Kaleigh with-drawl. She was so happy to get to play with them all weekend. I am sure they are happy to have a little break from her ;)
Hope to see you again soon...4th of July weekend maybe?
