Photos of Pioneer Day

Here are a gazillion photos of Pioneer Day and our celebrations which included the Grand Parade in Spanish Fork (including lots of princesses to wave to), a picnic at home, running through sprinklers, singing "Pioneer Children sang as they walked, and walked, and walked, and walked) at least 20 times, finding photos in our family history books of our relatives were came across the plains, eating homemade chili with cornbread and watermelon, peach cobbler for dessert, and sparklers (before it got dark because the kids were so tired they were about to pass out anyway).  Hope you had a good 24th.

Please excuse the mess

I realized that many people have no idea what our new house looks like (or rather that most people don't) so I've taken some pictures to share. Keep in mind that I didn't pick up at all for these photos, and some rooms are still missing things, like curtains, decor, etc. But you get the idea. Blogger is making life difficult again so you'll just have to guess which room is which. It's not letting me label my photos.

Fishing

As part of Joshua's birthday present (the fishing pole from Grampy) we all got to go up to Midway so Joshua, Papa, and Grampy could go fishing together. Since I didn't go, I obviously didn't take any pictures. All the credit goes to Derek... but I had to twist his arm to get him to take the camera.

Joshua is 5!

Blogger is being a pain so I'm just going to post a bunch of pictures without explanations and call that good. Today was Joshua's birthday. We went out to lunch at Chuck A Rama with all the Mock cousins except baby Henry who lives in California and then made a cake, opened presents, and ate the cake. Happy Birthday to my big boy.
