Ms Piggy Gets A Haircut

Ms. Piggy got a haircut last night and she's getting ready for Fair. Jax says Ms. Piggy has been hard work but he's getting excited to show her.

Park Fun

The Rec Center put together a fun day at the park. The boys loved the big plastic ball. East and Brynn were little fish and had so much fun sliding and playing in the water. Jax and Huds took a turn in the ball. Then Jax and his friend Ky. And last, Huds and his friend Trey took their turn.

Brynn's First Haircut

"Look Mom! East gave me a haircut!" Ryan and I were outside working when Easton gave Brynn her first haircut. Ryan and I were so mad. Brynn said, "I love my new haircut".

Summer

Summer is flying by quickly. Here are a few things we've been up to. Huds and East loved t-ball this year. Both did great and had lots of fun. Jax finished up his travel baseball season with a nice fat lip. Hudson found a 4 leaf clover and loves his flower that he saved from the playground at the end of his kindergarten year. We took a trip to Spin City with the Rec Center and 25 kids. Brynn loved the bus and skating and the rest of us had a blast too. Ryan was sore the next day from the skating he did or maybe falling. We also had a great time at Jamie's new house is Meeker. The kids loved it and felt like they were staying in a log cabin. And, don't you worry... Brynn is getting quite good at putting on mascara. And finally, there is nothing that beats a summer storm that seems to always leave a rainbow in our backyard. Rain is good. Double rainbows are better. Love them! Life is good.

Draper Family Campout

The Draper Family Campout was a lot of fun this year. It was planned by Darren & Angee in Eden, Utah. There were lots of fun things planned. Pineview Reservoir, Hiking, Hill Air Force Base, Fishing and lots of hanging out. We all have so much fun together and love each other so much. I read this from a blog that I follow and wanted to share.  I think it's perfect....

"The truth is, no family is perfect. Families are all made up of imperfect people, doing imperfect and sometimes hurtful things. Even those families with the immaculate yards and amazing clothes and perfect smiles in public . . . sometimes experience tears and screams behind closed doors. So even if your family has been taken apart, or imperfectly put back together . . . enjoy it. Every smile you see around you . . . is right there with you. We are all one giant family, walking around blindly trying to do our best. Heavenly Father always knew that is exactly where we would be while here on earth, and He doesn’t expect perfection. All He asks is that we serve one another with love. Service is done in love, not perfection. Don’t expect that no one will ever make a mistake, and don’t hold yourself to a perfect standard. Our families will never be perfect, no matter how much hairspray you use or pleas you make. Watch for the tender moments. It is in them that you will see the perfect words needed in a perfect moment. Perfection doesn’t come as an individual, or as a family . . . it comes in little glimpses—little moments—when you know you are right where you are supposed to be . . . standing together."
