Ashley the Photographer

Ashley loves to use the camera. Here are a few pictures she took a few weeks ago.

Our First Yard Sale

Chris and I finally went through a bunch of our junk and had a yard sale with three other families in our ward. We had never had one before, but we must have had some stuff that was worthwhile, because we made $175.

Not great pictures, but I wanted a memory of all the stuff everyone brought over and tagged the Friday night before the sale.

Fourth of July Weekend

Since the fourth of July was on a Sunday this year, and we live in the state of Utah, most of the celebration was done on Saturday the third. That morning we walked a few blocks to a small neighborhood parade.

We met up with our friends, the Ahlers, and their extended family, to watch the parade.

Chris has always been a chick magnet. Nothing has changed..............they are just much younger now!

Each of the cars/floats would throw candy out into the crowd for the children to pick up. This was Ashley's and Madison's favorite part of the whole morning.

Chris bought a few sparklers and small fireworks for the kids. Madison was really reluctant to hold the sparkler.

Ashley is at the age that we can't light them fast enough.

Chris lighting a few of the other fireworks in the street.

After the fireworks at the house, we hopped in the car and headed to a parking lot by Sugarhouse Park where there is a large fireworks show. We had a great day together as a family.

On Monday the fifth, Chris had the day off so we loaded up the girls and my sister Camille and headed to the Cottonwood Heights pool. The girls love to swim.
