Family times in July!
We have had a very eventful July. We started out in Show Low for a week over the 4th, went to a LeSueur Family Reunion in Manti Utah, and spent a week at our favorite place... Aspen Grove.


Dad and the boys on Sunday at Aspen Grove...

At our cabin on the 4th. What a treat to sit around a fire in July and enjoy some smores. An even better treat to watch the fireworks from our backyard!


Girls turn to go fishing... NO fish, but we had sooo much fun..
(Especially jumpin in with clothes on!!)

Hours of fun on the new b-ball court.. Who knew Uncle Dan was an animal on the court?? Especially when we had the hoop at 7ft.. whooaahh!

For those of you that say Wayne has a big mouth... Here is proof!! (Hey, he took the photo!)

Nothing better than Grandma's pasta on a Sunday afternoon. (Even better when she delivers it from her cabin to ours!!) Mmmmm...



Grandma's place in Heber on the 5th.. Great ribs and some great fireworks.. Much much better fireworks than ShowLow. A treat to see two shows, though...

A good chunk of our reunion group at the Manti Cemetery across from the Manti Temple. Many LeSueur relatives are buried here.


Ashley and her LeSueur cousins around Funk's lake (Palasaids State Park) outside of Manti. Our ancestor Daniel B. Funk made this lake from scratch at the request of Brigham Young.. Great place for a picnic!


Grandpa and his favorite son-n-law ;-) on our balcony at Aspen grove.

Ever seen a pregnant gal do pottery?? It wasn't pretty..the bowl that is...

A new addition this year.. a rock-climbing wall.. Maybe next year, Haley :-)

Dad & his little girl at the family dance.. (a great substitute for mom)

Grandpa enjoyed visiting with cousin Dave LeSueur throughout the week at Aspen Grove. We enjoyed our distant LeSueur cousins too.


Haley & Joey teamed up on this nice catch out of the Aspen Grove pond.. Biggest one in the pond says Dad... Priceless girl face Haley!!!


Haley defended her title and took home 1st place for the 2nd yr in a row! Whoohoo.. Joey & Katie held their own too.. We eat a lot of watermelon in our home.. Practice makes perfect!


We always love the speakers at Aspen Grove.. Professors Steven Harper and Michael Cheney from BYU were a real treat! Our relationships and testimonies were strengthened throughout the week!

Dad loves pictures in birth order....


Hawk Woman... aka Katie....


Scenery like this always makes leaving Aspen Grove tough.. (nice postcard shot Wayne)


What a blessing to have Grandma & Grandpa with us all week.. We are so grateful for them...

We are grateful for our family (and extended family) and for so much quality family time this summer!

Now it's baby time.... Stay Tuned...

Happy 4th Birthday to my sweet Jason! We had a fun day today. It doesn't take much to make this kid happy... Just his new green shoes, Indiana Jones whip, and his Hulk smashing hands. We love you Jason! You are one of a kind! You put a smile on everyone's face that knows you.

My little FISHES

>> Thursday, July 3, 2008

We just finished up another fun year of swim team. Joey did so good. He worked so hard and would push himslef. He loved every second of it. He got the trophy for MOST IMPROVED BOY.


Dad was their number 1 fan. He was the best, I only survived 1 meet. He took them to the next 4 without me. These meets are 3 hours in the heat. What a Man!

All their hard work payed off. They all got medals in the Championships!!
Another year down. Maybe next year Jason will be in this picture. GOOD JOB KIDS
