Miner's Jubilee

Baker has a few small celebrations during the summer. One of them is Miner's Jubilee. Mckenna was in the parade on a Preschool float. She sat in the very front and waved her little heart out.
She was excited that they could bring spray bottles and squirt each other.
In July, Devin and Deanna stayed with us for a week and a half while they closed on their house in Fruitland. It was so nice to have them over. Mckenna and Brielle love their girls, Alayna and Elyse. We went on lots of bike rides and spent a few days in swimming suits.

4th of July

For the 4th of July, we got to see Eric and Megan, and their kids Kaylee and Colton.  Eric is graduating from Texas Tech and they are moving to Maryland. So we were glad to see them one last time before their move.
4th of July is Devin's birthday. I decided to make a Snickers Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake. It was pretty rich!
And of course, we had to put 29 candles on top.
It was so hard to get a good cousin picture! 8 cousins, 7 of them being age 2 and under!
Mckenna and Elyse
Colton
And here's all of us!

Cousin Fun

Me and the girls spent a few days in Idaho Falls at my parents house between family reunions. Devin's wife, Deanna, also stayed there with their kids. And Brittany and Nathan were there for some of the week too.
Brielle and Alayna- they are either the best of friends or worst enemies, depending on the time of day. No, they love each other most of the time. But like any 2 year olds, they have their moments.
It is so nice to live closer to family. These girls sure love their cousins!
Levi still wasn't so sure of us, but he was happy in the pool!
And cute Elyse is happy wherever she is :)
