4th of July Celebration!!

We love the 4th of July in Delta. I guess technically it was the 3rd this year but still fun none the less.




Hope you all had a safe fun one as well. Keep scrolling down if you want. I did more posts below.

Bringhurst Reunion

Following the 4th of July Celebrations we were able to spend some time with Family at a little Bringhurst Reunion. I really Love Tim's grandma Dora. I love how honest and fun she is. She loves to play games like me and enjoys all the same treats/goodies I do. She always stocks her shelves with all my favorites like ice-cream, nutty butter bars and peanut M&M's, YUM!! Anyway, it was a reunion for her descendants. So here are some more pictures.

Tim had a blast playing soccer while Emery and Kaven played on the playground.

LAGOON


On Monday we spent the whole day at Lagoon with Andy and Jenny and NO KIDS! It was so much fun and a really nice break. Thanks SO MUCH to Tim's mom and brothers who spent the day with our kids. I had so much fun that I made myself sick! Maybe I went on a few too many roller coaster rides. By the time we were done we went to Olive Garden for dinner and I couldn't even eat anything because my head hurt so bad that it made me nauseous. I just have to say that it was WAY worth it though. Here are are few pictures. I wish I would have taken more, but was too busy having fun.

We got some really yummy ice-cream and the store was like an old school Pharmacy. So of course I had to get a picture with Tim in it.

Sadie's B-day & Wheelers Farm


It has been SO GREAT having Brett and Jennie around! I am so glad our kids have each other and I still am in marvel that our girls and boys are the same ages! It makes it extra nice and neat! Sadie and Emery are the best of friends. They remind me of my cousin Brooke and I growing up. It never mattered how long it has been since we had seen each other. We were ALWAYS able to pick up right where we left off and have a great time. I am glad Emery and Sadie have that now too.
I guess it is still too soon to tell if Kaven and Trace will hit it off as well as Emery and Sadie do. In this picture I think Kaven is a little too concerned that Trace is sitting where Emery usually sits. I think Trace is just oblivious to it all and super cool. Hopefully with time they will be as close and Emery and Sadie. :)

This picture is a little blurry but I thought it showed how cute these two are together. They are both SO EXCITED for Sadie's B-day presents.

I also just have to say how nice it is to have a Med Student in the family. Specifically a D.O. student (Chiropractics too). I had a super sore neck from our Lagoon adventure and he fixed me right up and then fixed a small back problem Tim has been dealing with for a LONG time. I don't know why we didn't think to have him fix it sooner. Maybe because it wasn't anything too major. It sure made a difference for him though. Thanks Brett. You guys are great.

And last but not least, we were able to go to Wheelers Farm with them too. I only got this one picture before my batteries on my Camera died. So this is all you get. I am glad we are all still close enough to each other that we get to be together at least twice a year.
