July 23-August 1st the boys and I headed to Cedar City, Utah, leaving Steve at home again (sad), and spent a super fun-filled week with Grandpa and Grandma Turner, Jonathan and his 4 kids, Heather and her 4 kids, and Christina and Keith (briefly) and their 2 kids. We really missed Angela and her family, though. It was a house full, but we had so much fun and the kids loved playing with their cousins. Most of the kids slept outside in a big tent. We had a big birthday party for those who were having a birthday around that time, went to church, played at the park and the "beach", went to the temple, played and rode horses at Aunt Rebecca's house, went swimming at the water park in Washington, played fun games like kickball and red rover at the park, had a big water balloon fight, went hiking and fishing, went mountain biking and rock crawling, and, and, and...I was exhausted and ready for another vacation when I got home.

Joshua
Kaden and Jonathan. Jonathan was trying to see how long he could grow his hair, but he let it go unruly like this most of the time. It was driving us all crazy, and eventually drove Jonathan crazy enough that he let my dad cut it. He looked great. Picture later?

Naiya. Kaden finally busted it open with one swing. The kids all went crazy, of course.

Movies were the best babysitter and easiest way to get some peace and quiet...for a few minutes.
