Happy Birthday Dallan!!!

July 4th was Dallan's 3rd birthday. This is the first time the entire family had been together since Emily and Nick were married. We had a great time. Dallan's party was at the wave pool. Everyone had a great time swimming. The little boys were like pollywogs!!

The first present Dallan opened was from the Zollingers. It was a digital camera. Dallan was soooo excited. He could have stopped with that one and been perfectly happy. After opening each gift he would say, "Where is my camera?!?!" Unfortunately it didn't have batteries in it so he couldn't actually take pictures with it. You'll notice in the photo that he is holding it backwards and upside down.

Joseph brought his utility trailer down with them so they could help me clean out my basement. I'm sure I could have had a yard sale and made hundreds of dollars with all the junk we hauled out of the basement. I even had a ward member ask me if I was moving. They had seen the trailer loaded down with boxes and boxes of really great STUFF. We got a great start on the project but I still have a lot of dejunking and organizing to do. I took some before pictures, although I'm not sure I want anyone to see how really bad it was. If I get brave I may post a before and after once I finish the project. I try each night to sort through at least one box. It's slow but coming along.

Getting ready to dive for a penny!

ITS ABOUT TIME!! I've been waiting and waiting for a new post from you! :) That looks like you guys had a really fun time, it's always nice to be able to have EVERYONE together, since that seems to be a hard thing when you don't all like close together.

Opps, I just read my comment and I meant to say "live" close together, not like close together.
