4th of July, Friends, Cousins, Grandma's New House, Summer Fun

So, our dance teacher who has been with TDC forever...Miss Jessie...bought Yosemite Dance Studio one year ago (the same studio she used to dance at as a young girl).  It was a huge change, and little did she know she would welcome her first baby into her life that same year! She is an amazing woman and we all love her SO much.  

Well, she invited a few of our dances to participate in her first dance recital at Warnors Theatre.  What an honor!  We loved being part of it!




Oh my goodness, this was a total flashback.  Peyton found one of my very favorite dresses as an 8 year old.  I mean FAVORITE EVER!  It spins so beautifully!  And she decided to wear it to church!  So cute!!


Peyton and her very best little buddy, Bryn....swimming in "our" new pool!

So, here is a glimpse into Gm and Gpa's new backyard.  The kids had a blast in it all summer!



4th of July!

We had the traditional fireworks in front of our "new" house...since they were traditionally in front of that same house when it belonged to my parents.  So much change this summer!  I tell ya, it was a headtrip!






Paxton's bday party at Me-N-eds.  I've gotta find the pic of all of us.  Here are a few.




Jordyn and Molly getting Yum Yum Yogurt one hot summer day. Sweet girls.



Tradition - seeing a summer movie together.  I've just gotta remember which one we saw. My memory can't be THAT bad at age 39!


Ice cream and Grandma's house are totally synonymous!


For some reason, Jo was obsessed with pineapples this summer!


We got Mom and Dad (Grandma and Grandpa) to jump on the tramp!  The last photo we have of this is like 25 years ago!!





That tramp took SO much work to set up.  I mean, SOOOO much!

Cousins and Ice Cream!  What more could you need??


Oh man, this kid. Kylee is absolutely one of a kind - and secretly like 150 years old in her awareness and wisdom!

Cousins love!



Church selfies ha ha ha

Family jump in the pool!




I love this girl.  Roberta and I had a planning meeting.  We call it that...and it really is!  But when it lasts like 9 hours....it's also called therapy, and heart to hearts.  My favorite!


Lindy and Mom - this summer was just some good ol' fashioned hanging out and spending time together...even amidst all the moving and craziness...it was a really good summer.


Mom and Dad - with their 6th and 7th kids :-)


After an intensive up at the dance studio of fresno...we got these girls pizza and let them swim one night.  And they talked us into ice cream before the night was over.   Chloee, Jo, Molly, Haelyn, Peyton, Bryn and Lexi.

Little Kasyn watching the big girls in their intensive ballet class!


While the girls danced, Jill, Roberta and I went to lunch!


These kids can't get enough of their grandma.  She's like one of the kids.  She loves showing them funny or cool youtube songs and videos.


Little Peyton Jean likes to fall asleep in our bed much more than the other two ever did.

My first summer with a pool...and I went a little crazy with pool toys!


Grandma, Lindy and cousins over for an evening...in the new/old house.


Grandma even spent the night one night!
