Kate and her cousin Ashlyn (4 months younger) enjoying a lazy summer day in the hammock.

My little baby Kate is growing up. This was right before Lagoon. It was a roaster that day!

Our little family before we left for Lagoon

My brother (Rick) the cook and my sister Celest helping along.

My great brother David is always up for playing with the kids. This is Uncle David and a bunch of the older cousins at Rick's house.

We did a lot of swimming in Rick's pool for the family reunion. It was so much fun! Here's a great picture of Andy and little Kate!

To start off our reunion, we all went to lunch at cafe rio then headed to the movies at Thanksgiving Point. My boys just thought it was so great to go to the theater with so many cousins. Half of us went to the new Ice Age and the other half went to see Harry Potter. After the movie we went to Rick's house to BBQ and swim. We played some great volleyball in their sport pool. My kids are water babies.

Boy do Read and Gage have a ball digging in Grandma and Grandpa's sandbox with their cousins. Tayzia was the mastermind behind this. Can you see Jackson buried in the sand? Great cousin time!!

This is my cute nephew playing a mean piano. My boys loved watching him play. Check out him and my niece jamming out on youtube!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg_LsdIUzNI

The four granddaughters on the Arnold side. We've got 9 boys and only 4 girls. Needless to say, everyone was pretty excited when I was pregnant and we found out that Kate was a baby girl!

This is me, my Mom, all my cute sisters and one sister-in-law. What a fine bunch of women! It was so great to be with them. I have one sister-in-law missing here but she was at the reunion.

This is a picture of me (new haircut) with my adorable nephew Tate Arnold. He was ordained to the office of a priest. It was so awesome that my entire family was there except for Andy. He still had to work for a couple of days in Idaho. It was really neat to be there to experience that with him. He's a great kid!

Andy and I sure enjoyed having my two sisters and their families come stay with us for a night. We ate good food, hiked the mountain, swung in the hammocks, watched a movie with the projector and most importantly had a great time catching up. The cousins had a great time together. It was a good "kick off" to the Arnold family reunion. This is a picture of Breck, my brother-in-law carving a sweet watermelon. It's the shape of a basket and he balled all the fruit to make it fancy for a baby shower that I threw that day.

Mom and Dad with the boys in July. We had a great time! My old man even hit the big slides. My Mom enjoyed baby Kate.

Oh summer has come and gone without a single post to my blog. How sad! We did so many fun things and summer just soared by. This is a picture with my sister, Celest and her two daughters, Kallie and Tayzia. Their family came out for a couple of weeks from Tennessee and we went to Lava Hot Springs. It was a blast! My Mom and Dad met us there! This summer we hit Lava Hot Springs a few times with family and friends. Kate even warmed up to the water.
