HAPPY 4TH OF JULY !! We love this wonderful country - THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!

Annie and Carmen dressed in a very patriotic manner for the parade in Hyrum, Utah!Don is not "heckling" at anyone or anything in the parade - I just caught him right before a sneeze! Hilarious picture! Even Brian, Bart and Shaun enjoyed the parade! We had never seen so much candy thrown, water bottles and ice cream bars handed out at a parade. Definitely a fun parade!

Brexton and Shaun "hung out" together!

Smiles all around as we celebrate our freedom and remember those who fought for our country's Independence! And a big "thank you" to those who are protecting our country's freedom now! We love this land, AMERICA!

More Missionary Pictures! (Elder Bradley Duffy finds much joy serving the Lord in Mexico!)

Francisco's baptism!

Elder Duffy with the Bishop's son! It is fairly obvious that Missionary work is "the best"!

JUNE IS A MONTH OF BIRTHDAYS !!

Happy "51 years" birthday, Don!
Literally, 47 candles on my birthday cake! Very funny!

Carmen loves her birthday celebrations! She turned 11 years old!

Happy Birthday, Carmen!

Roasting "starburst"candy happens to be Carmen's favorite! Fun Birthday!

FUN FAMILY REUNION IN POCATELLO! (Brian's All-State Football Game)

We were constantly entertained by the babies "Brexton and Annie"! Here, Shaun is enjoying Brexton. Lots of smiles from Brexton for Carmen!

Annie and Shaun formed a sweet bond! Never a tiresome or dull moment!

The All-State Football game was exciting! Brian is at the end ready to line up with Team Idaho.
Brian as Defensive End (long white socks). First play that he was in, he sacked the quarterback. He finished the game with two sacks and several tackles! He was annouced as the Defensive Most Valuable Player of the game! Team Idaho (Brian's team) also beat Treasure Valley 38-6. Great Game!

Great new friends!

Proud family!

Pretty sweet trophy!

Brothers, Brian and Shaun "gotta hug"!

Turf burns were 'neosporined and bandaged' by Grandpa Hill!

Another fine family memory! Way to go, Brian, Defensive MVP! We are so proud of you!

A GREAT DAY ON THE LAKE !!

Josh and Shaun were 'troopers' on the tube!

Water fight on the boat! We wouldn't want to get wet! Brian sails on the wakeboard!

Up, Up and Away!

Beautiful Hayden Lake! This was a great day!

CARMEN and her COUSIN!! (Nothing is more perfect than spending an entire week with cousin, Patrice!)

Basking in the warm sunshine!

ANNIE'S BABY BLESSING!

We were able to have the precious opportunity to travel to Rexburg and take part in Annie's blessing. She is such a joy! Nathan blessed her with a beautiful blessing in Sacrament Meeting. (She wore Carmen's baby blessing dress.)Great Grandpa Hill came from Boise! What a treat-his first Great Grandchild!

Plenty of family and friends!
