HAPPY 4th of July!!!

We had TONS of fun this 4th of July! It started with a drive to Clearfield to watch the parade with the family in front of my Mom's showroom on Main Street. Carlee got lots of candy and lots of dancing in. Every float that would pass by she would shake it, shake it to the music or dance with the dancers. She didn't care much for grabbing the candy if she could be dancing instead. It was pretty funny. She looked ADORABLE in her little red, white and blue attire.




We then headed back to Willard to check out the events in town. I couldn't believe all that they had going. We are going to just hang out in Willard next year. There was tons for Carlee to do and the prices were either free or WAY cheap. That is my kind of fun.



We ended the night will fireworks in Willard. They were great. Carlee almost fell asleep through them, but ended up making it until we got home. It was a great holiday and we made great memories.

We are SO thankful to live in America. We are proud of our ancestors, family, friends and strangers that fought to help make and keep this great country free. I love the saying, "LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!" It is SO true. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Boating with GRANDPA at Willard Bay...

We had a FUN family day at Willard Bay on July 3rd. Grandpa Jeff brought the boat and Grandma Becky brought lunch and we all just relaxed and enjoyed being together as a family. It was fun to get to play in the water and tube behind the boat. Carlee again reminded us that she is a little fish. We came home water logged and sunkissed and are looking foward to next time. THANKS MOM AND DAD!!!

WELCOME Baby ALEXIA LUCETTA REESE

We got a new baby in our family this last month. Lindsey had a little girl named Alexia Lucetta Reese. She was born on June 24th and weighed 7 lbs 14 ounces. She is adorable. This is a few photos of her at about 30 minutes old and then a more recent one. She is LOVED more than most babies need to be. lol! Lindsey has LOTS of help with her older kids. Just the other day the girls picked out 5-6 outfits for her to wear in the 2 hrs she was napping...

Stoddard Family Reunion

This last week we got the opportunity to go to a Family Reunion in Twin Falls, ID. For those of you that know me I am not a fan of Idaho. I think mostly because my husband always tries and talks me into moving there. However, Twin Falls is BEAUTIFUL. It was fun to go and spend time with my Mom and my Grandma Faye Chandlers family. This was a reunion put on by her siblings. It was almost on her birthday and it was also the town she was born in. Carlee Faye is named after Grandma Faye so that was also fun to show her off to Grandma's siblings/family. Here are a few photos from the event. After the reunion we went and saw the Shoshone Falls. They were also BEAUTIFUL and breathtaking.

Cherries!

Oh, how I LOVE fresh cherries (THANKS Heather!). Another benefit of living in Willard. Fruit season has officially started...
