Pioneer Day

Pioneer day was wonderful to say the least. It's the first day Ryan and I have had off together in quite some time. We took the boys to the duck pond earlier in the day and then spent some time with my family that evening.
This is Gauge, escaping capture...
Ryan the duck whisperer This could just be my favorite picture ever! a hike around campus
We staged the picture with Gauge too, he took off by the time I got the shot snapped.
That night we went to my parent's for our little reunion.
What was so special about this get together with my family is first, it doesn't happen much. Second, my brother John and his family were here from Spokane and we have really missed them. Our Grandparents were going to try to make it but weren't able to in the end. We missed you Grandma and Grandpa!!
We had a BBQ, I didn't get any pictures. I don't know why. Later we lit fireworks and hung out for awhile.

Gauge was so tired! My beautiful Mom Paxton's new best friend and cousin Katie!We had such a blast! I took so many more pictures but they didn't turn out with the setting sun. I even got a funny one with my sister in law Karli but it didn't turn out either.
It was so nice to see you all!

Brought back happy some memories... tried to find the pics of Ryan helping my boys light fireworks in the school parking lot across from your house. Got a chuckle from the shot of Paxton hugging his cousin Katie with his wide eyes.

One thing I have always admired about the two of you is the quality time you spend together with your boys doing creative things and having adventures. We love you guys and hope to be as great as parents as you both are!
