ways to beat the heat

1. Give the kids 10 minutes with the hose.

2. Go to Bahama Bucks for some icy good shaved ice. I've been in Mesa for 11 yrs (ouch) and this was my first visit. Yes, Kaitlin, I finally went! Pretty good stuff, especially on hot, humid July days.

Sofia and Isabel both got grape, my personal fav.

Jacob chose cotton candy.

Utah 2010 Guy and Emma Maughan reunion

Guy and Emma are my great-grandparents. The reunion was held on July 5, 2010, in Brigham City. It is held annually, we just don't go very often. Guy had 12 children so it is a pretty large gathering of people that I don't know. We eat, visit and then everyone goes swimming at the Brigham City Pool. We were all about the swimming that day! and the good food. We do know how to eat and eat well!

My baby and me.

Aunt Vickie and me.

Utah 2010 Lyman and Edith Maughan family reunion

Lyman and Edith are my grandparents, my mom's parents. They both died in 2000. All of their kids were in attendance at this reunion, Aunt Laurel, Uncle Stuart, Aunt Vickie, mom, Uncle Curtis and Uncle Jarvis as well as most of the grandkids. 4 were not in attendance with their families. We had a great day. Good food, a good game of volleyball and baseball, card games, and tons of sitting around talking and picture taking. Took place on the lawn next to the Wellsville Tabernacle in Wellsville Ut, July 3rd, 2010.
