The Halliburton Family

Cousins!!

So, it was my bright idea to have both my nieces come and stay at our house for a week. It works out very well that we have a niece exactly the same age as both of our daughters. So two 7 year olds and two 4 year olds shouldn't be that bad, right? Well, actually right! It wasn't nearly as bad as it sounded! Everyone got along, not many tears, and tons of fun was had by all! The girls went swimming a lot, to the bounze house, out to dinner and lunch, out to frozen yogurt and shopping at Scottsdale Fashion Square. All in all it was actually a really fun week. My mom came to visit for most of the time as well and we hung out with GG and Joe and Marmmett and Toni too. I just may do it again next summer...

4th of July 2011

Camping over the 4th of July also always entails fireworks in Payson. The weather is always beautiful, the location is beautiful, and the fireworks are beautiful. Little Miss Avery always covers her ears for loud noises, and the fireworks are no exception! She covered her ears and actually fell asleep on the blanket! How can someone sleep through the fireworks?! I wish I had a picture, but my camera died! The girls loved the fireworks though and especially the ice cream we had after!

Happy 4th!

Camping over the 4th of July has become a tradition for us the past few years. This year it was soooo hot! Not as much rain as usual, so lots and lots of dust as you can see from all the pics of my dirty kiddos! We had a ton of fun though as usual! Quad riding, the creek, playing in the dirt, camping food...looking at these pics makes me want to go back right now!

Creek time!

Being wet is NOT Ariels favorite thing!

Once thrown in though, she does know how to swim!

As usual, only Alexis will touch the crawdads!

Filthy family

Avery can't wait to be big enough to drive the quads herself

LOVE these girls!

In June, we went to Cody's cousin Ryan and Lauren's wedding. Weddings when the entire family is there is always an opportunity for pics especially with Fuji's like Steph and I around! It was a beautiful wedding and fun was had by all!
