Hill Family Reunion

Over the 24th of July we traveled up north to Idaho Falls for the Hill Family Reunion.  We went to Rigby Lake where as you can see the kids had a total blast.  On Saturday night was a family rodeo at my Dad's cousin's house.  We had so much fun seeing all our family and cousins (we all stayed in the same hotel).  Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for all their help with the kids.  We had a great time!!  Looking forward to next year's party!

Can you believe he's actually eating something?!?!  Nothing like a good piece of watermelon!

Just a small part of the Joe Hill side of the fam

This is as far as Krew ventured into the water

All the kids had so much fun with the water toys

Check out that smile! You know Abby's in heaven

Grandpa Sam and Uncle Dave

Jackson and Krew on the huge rope swing!

Paisley's first ice cream cone, of course she was not happy when we took it away! :(

Jackson Bustin a Mutton ( he totally chickened and jumped off!)

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

Here's a few pictures of our visit to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House.  Darren's sister, Tiffany and her family came with us.  It's beautiful, if you haven't been, I suggest you hurry!

I love this picture of Abby and Alyssa!  Cute cousins

Just the boys!  Austin, Krew, Jackson and Matthew

Alyssa, Abby and Makaela

Believe it or not, this was the best of the pictures we had taken as a family.  Jackson was being a total nerd and crying because he had sun in his eyes.  We have the worst luck with family pictures!

I do realize that we need a new family picture complete with all four kids.  We are waiting for Jackson's hair to grow back out, (he wanted it buzzed last week, but he hates it)  and then we'll get a new one.  

Fabulous 4th of July

We had a really busy, but fun 4th of July this year.  We started by going to the balloon fest in Provo on Friday with the Rapiers and Alexanders and then went to breakfast at Magelby's fresh (the best part).  We woke up all the kids at 5:45 am and were headed out to see the hot air balloons by 6:00.  After that we came home for naps and then headed out to go swimming.  We were all pretty tired by the end of the day.

Saturday we woke up early again and were off to see the parade in Provo.  Our super awesome friends (Dave and Krissa Allen) saved us an awesome spot at the parade,  complete with a canopy for shade, and this year, rain!  This was the first time we had ever gone to the Provo parade and we had a great time...we'll definitely do it again!  Later that day was a barbecue and fireworks with neighborhood friends.  We had a great holiday, complete with holiday hangover the next day at church.

Jackson is a nerd and hates his picture taken, so he turned his back.

ha ha Jackson!  I got one!

Abby and Paisley

Krew thinking about getting in...he really never did.

Krew and Addi Brinkerhoff

Dave and Krissa Allen, and Matt Brinkerhoff

I probably shouldn't point this out, but for some reason I'm always talking in pictures.  Do I really talk that much?

Once again, Jackson is happy to get his picture taken

My sweet little Krew that we lost that day.  It was by far the worst experience of my life!!!

Jackson and Parker, watching fireworks (yes it was still light outside, but the kids couldn't wait!)

Lisa Broberg, me, Cari Packer, and Megan Rapier

(once again, do I seriously never shut up?!?!?)

Summer Fun!

Just a few pics of the boys playing in the sprinkler

This is what happens when Krew gets near Paisley...

He didn't even touch her!
