baptism and 4th of july

i've been a slacker and haven't been taking pictures since our camping trip.

we had to cut the camping trip short to drive to rexburg for m's baptism.
it was fun to be able to see marissa get baptized.
we're so proud of you m and the choice to made to get baptized!
we got to see all of my brothers and sisters and my grandma.
it's been a couple months since we've seen them all, so that was fun too.

the next weekend, shannon and the girls drove up (j has been helping uncle paul on the farm) and derek flew into boise, so we had fun with them.
for the 4th of july we all went out to the owyhee dam and spent the day on the water.
b had fun playing with grandma and aunt shanny (she didn't like the water this time....silly girl).
when we got back, we went over to the froerers to eat yummy food and have fireworks.
b liked the fireworks (i swear nothing scares this girl) and stayed awake almost the whole time.
i'm so glad that i live in this country and have the freedom that we have.
thank you to all those that have sacrificed so that i can have those freedoms!
