At the end of July I had my nephew's Noah and Simon (Trav and Amy's kids) come for a visit. We had a lot of fun with them here. Noah is 6 and Simon is 4 so they are just the right ages to play with my younger boys. We kept everyone busy and they in turn kept us busy! We had fireworks at our house for the 24th of July celebration (Pioneer Day to you non-Utahns ~ the 24th is an actual holiday here!)...went to the Pioneer Day Parade in Monticello and the festival in the park afterwards with a cool fireworks show that night...there were trips to the local pool...they went fishing with Layne....there were two Nielson Family Reunion dinners ~ both Friday and Saturday nights...they caught grasshoppers...we took a trip up the mountain to look for deer...and there was just lots of playing with Transformers, playing on the slip-n-slide, and all sorts of fun things. Throughout all of the fun Brody finally lost his first two teeth ~ one Thursday and one Saturday ~ so the Tooth Fairy had to make two visits while tryint not to wake up all those boys! It was such fun to have the cousins here ~ we might even make it an annual tradition!

Your family is the perfect advertisement for Blanding! You make me want to live there... so we can be neighbors and so we can get countrified and ride without seat belts! That sounds sarcastic but I mean it in all sincerity, your life is the American dream!
