Kindergarten

It can't be possible that my little one is old enough to start Kindergarten! I am still in denial. Aside from that, Damon LoVeD his first day. He can't wait to go back tomorrow.

Baby Bitter, Lightning

The boys meet Channing. He is the cutest! 

Grandpa with the four older grandkids :)

We have had quite a few lightning storms since we have been back, and we love watching them together. Lucky for the boys that means they get to go to bed late...

Alldredge Family Reunion

We are so happy we were able to go to the reunion this year. It has been a long time, and it was so fun to be with everyone for a few days. Evonne was in charge of it this year and she did amazing. We stayed at a place with racket ball, basketball, and volleyball courts, pool and ping pong tables, and lots of space for the kids to run and be crazy. Perfect.  

Enjoying the 3 hour drive

Hanging out with the cousins

Sweet Grandma Alldredge

On the way back, we stopped off in Provo and drove through the BYU campus. Kyle was pretty happy when he saw the Y on the mountain. 

We love the pillars!

We made a stop at the Bitter Family Reunion on our way home. So great to see family. They are all growing like crazy! So great, makes it all the better. 

Swimming friends

Lara let us come swim with her and Teddy. Suzanne, Lincoln, and Ford came too. So good to see my friends again. 

Sweet face...

Yay for awesome friends!!!

Cousins

So fun to be so CLOSE to our 'Johnson' family again. We love them all. Bri, Lish, Jayce, and Halli are just a few steps and a door away. It is awesome! We had some fun with water, the kids were in heaven.

Katey

Ben and LeighAnn came for a weekend visit with their beautiful little girl Katelynn. We were so happy to see them after being away for so long. Hope it happens again soon! 

Fourth

We had a really relaxing fourth. We spent the afternoon and evening at my parent's house. We made paper rockets, shot tennis balls, rode the Odyssey, had a BBQ, played games,...and of course when you are with family it can't be beat. 

Damon had a few presents to open. 

The orchard

Garden. My dad always does an amazing job. And of course the whole family does lots of work out here. Beautiful. 

This cherry tree is chuck full of wonderful fruit. We have been eating bags of them. I am not a huge cherry lover, but you can't beat them fresh! 

Damon is definitely a climber. Over fences, up the fire pole, even volleyball poles,...really anything.  

We had a crazy little scare with Jonas, but thankfully the damage was minimal. We feel very blessed. So grateful to have both of our little boys in our lives. 

Damon picked out his cake, and it was awesome!
