They Hayes Visit :)

Pete's sister Stacey and her family.... Scott, Chance, Noelle, and Hannah stopped by for a brief visit from Texas.  We were happy to BBQ with them and have family home evening.  Carter loves his cousins and I think they were all shocked at how amazingly well behaved Livy was and how entertaining Carter was with his commentary at dinner :)  It was a great night and we as always wish they lived closer :)  Carter was hyper once they left.  He went into his room and came out with his tie on his pajamas informing me it was time to go to church (it was 10:45 pm.)  It was cute and if you look closely you can see the red marks on his neck where he scraped himself getting the tie on.... funny funny boy!





Carter and the "Boys"

Mom and Livy

Livy is not much of a cuddler but she will put up with it if you cuddle her :)

Grandpa and Grandma Burches House

I love this picure of Mom and Carter.  I love Olivia in her Cardinals cheerleading outfit (Pete's favorite team) and I love how Carter curls up in Dave's recliner to watch T.V.




Fourth of July Weekend

It has been a tradition since Pete and I have been married to go to the firework show put on by my Uncle Dean up at Utah State University in Logan.  This year we decided to stay at a bed and breakfast called the Riter Mansion.  It was a fun experience and Carter loved the Bed and Breakfast.  The kids were decked out in thier 4th of July clothes and loved the show.  Olivia loved the fireworks until the finale and then she cried.  But she was totally enchanted by the fireworks.  It was cute to watch her just stare at them.  Then Dean sent us home with a huge box of fireworks to do at Mom and Daves.  It was a fun weekend and we are truly grateful for our freedom and all who serve to protect our country.
