4th of July - Wilk Family Reunion

4th of July was a party with our Wilkinson family.  

We had a sleepover with Weston and Hailey. Weston loved asking Izzy for kisses.  Izzy was, of course, happy to oblige. 

Early morning cuties. 

Beautiful Hailey. 



Emery, Weston, Van and Hailey playing Go Fish.  


Cute baby with Auntie Amy before the parade. 

There are no words for the cuteness.  


Little firecracker with her dad.  

Aaron's sister, Summer, and I.  Can you believe this beautiful girl has 7.75 kids?  No joke.  

Bros.  

Family shot! 
The kids conked out on the way home every night.  Even Emery.  And that's unheard of! 
Playing at the lake with the cousins. 

Wild West treasure hunt. Complete with mustaches.

Girls night!!  

WWW Family Reunion - Aspen Grove Family Camp

My family's annual reunion was at BYU's Aspen Grove family camp this year.  Man, was it a blast!  It was so fun to spend time together playing games, ropes courses, fishing, swimming, watching the Wimmer family basketball team, watching Jordan play tennis, listening to speakers and having all of the food just ready and sitting there for us.  Oh... and having the kids in their own classes having fun for 1/2 of the day.  Even the babies!  It was awesome!  Especially the family dance at the end.  If you are planning a family reunion, look into Aspen Grove.  It was so fun!  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for another amazing reunion! And for making me a great family.  :)

Here we are!

Emery and Demi had each other nonstop for 3 days.  Heaven. 

We grabbed Van out of his group so he could shoot bow and arrows with us.  He LOVED it!  

Happy boy with his weapon.  :)

Crazies

The old fogies on the couch

My brother Bryan, Aaron and I looking very safe (and wary - Ha) before the ropes course.  Man, that was a lot of safety gear.
Bryan slack lining the ropes course.  He's amazing. 

There I am!  I wasn't nervous until they overloaded me with gear... and then I kept thinking, should I be nervous?

Aunt Kari, Aunt Heather, Wyatt and I on our hike to Stewart Falls

The little man went fishing for the 1st time wish his dad and caught a fish.

Silly dude!  He really did eat it though.  You take it to the kitchen and they cook it for you so you can eat it! 

Pretty baby

Beautiful grandma with grumpy buns. 

Dem and Em with their cute counselor.  They LOVED her!

June

 June was a good start to our summer fun!  And I sure was glad to not be driving Emery 25 minutes to Orem for Preschool 3 times a week anymore!  :)
Cute kisses from cute sister.  He loves her.  

Aaron needed my car for some strange reason so the kids and I rocked his car one day (okay... a few days this summer).  It was.... interesting! 
Cutest sisters ever.

Fun at Seven Peaks!  If you look closely at Van's chin you'll see where he busted it open.  Thank you super glue. 

Bek and I took the kids to Seven Peaks a few times.  Quite the brood we have! 

Wheeler Farm with some friends

This baby LOVES her daddy



Iz right before she got her helmet off.  She discovered the Buzz bike.  She loves this thing.  In helmet news - her head is completely within the normal range now!  It isn't perfect, but its' tons better.  

The Aviary with Bek and crew.  This is pretty much how it goes trying to get them to smile for a picture.  

We started letting the birds roam the yard a bit.  They actually stay close (most of the time).  Though I wasn't happy when the turkeys decided to take up residence on my railing right outside my back door.  So weird.  

Prettiest baby ever. 

Look at that face! 

Daddy is trying to pass on his hygiene obsession very young.  

Grandma and Grandpa took us to the Lehi City Rodeo.  Emery's dream come true - so many horses!  As long as the cowboys weren't hurting any animals.  We had to take a walk during the calf roping and team roping.  She was pretty upset.  :(  Tender heart.  

Izzy, me and Grandpa at the rodeo. 

Cute kids at the rodeo!

Seriously, zoom in on this picture.  This is the happiest, sweetest kid, ever!  Anything we do outside puts him in his happy place!
