4th of July

We went to Thatcher for the 4th. It's usually my birthday present =). My sister and her husband own a nursery so we are usually IN the parade instead of watching.

My parents and my sister decorated their Arctic Cats for the parade. Makenna and McKay rode in the back of them. McKay fell asleep during parade =).

They also decorated a float. That is what Anthon and I usually ride on.

Aubrey, Makenna, Sarah & Matt

After the parade we went to Sarah's house to swim and celebrate Hailey's birthday. It was a nice cool down after the parade!

Pointing at the piece of cake he wanted =)
We went to the fireworks that night. My parents bought our kiddos some glow sticks with flags on them. Mason LOVED his!

Dad was trying to do something cool with the glow stick. lol
We had some family visiting from California that weekend too. It was fun.

My cousin Nathan & my Grandma Gallegos

Bill, Tia Sandra, my cousin Carissa & my Uncle Raul

Hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July!!!

Ellsworth family reunion

We had another Ellsworth reunion at the end of June. I totally suck at taking pictures lately so there aren't many good ones. We had lots of fun! We went to a place called Anytown in Prescott. It was so much fun spending time with all of Anthon's family.


The next 2 pictures of kind of blurry. Makenna, getting ready for a sack race.

She didn't win but she had fun!

They had an adult race too. Anthon joined the fun.
He got either 1st or 2nd place. I don't remember....

Anthon's Uncle said he saw a shirt that reminded him of Anthon and had to buy it for him =).

We LOVE The Office =). Thanks Uncle Matt!!!

The place that we stayed at had a cook. It was awesome not having to worry about making our meals and cleaning up the mess. The cooks name was Corky. She was AMAZING! She was so nice and loved the whole family. She was so sweet to our children. Every time Makenna went to the dinning hall to get a piece of fruit, she would come back with it on a plate, all cut up for her. Makenna still talks about her =).

McKay having fun on the basketball court.

We had a wonderful time and can't wait for the next one!!

Tractors

What can I say, I have a total BOY on my hands! McKay loves cars, trucks, trains and tractors. My sister, Sarah, and her husband, Matt, own a nursery in Safford. Matt has a tractor over there that he told McKay he could drive it the next time we visited. McKay was SOOO excited.

All of the kiddos got a ride =)
Mason didn't like it so much =) He loved watching....but not riding.
And, of course, a picture of Makenna and her favorite cousin, Aubrey!
