We had a fun and busy 4th of July. My family came down for all the fun in Delta. I ran the 5K race with Erica, Hilary, and Darla in the morning. It was so much fun except we had to climb an 8 ft. fence because someone locked it after it had been unlocked. We were also disappointed to find out it wasn't a full 5k.

Nate broke his foot on the 3rd wake boarding so we broke our tradition of going to the res and went to the parade. Owen enjoyed sitting on everyone's lap and Gavin enjoyed eating the candy. Afterwords we went to the park for some good food and a concert in the park. We also enjoyed four wheeling, taking naps, the derby, and fireworks.

We couldn't have asked for a better day to spend with family and friends.

I took the boys to Payson Lakes with my family a few weeks ago. We had a blast. Gavin loved playing in the dirt and getting as dirty as he could. Owen was such a good baby and tried his first cereal. He absolutely loved it and couldn't get enough. We had amazing food and enjoyed roasting hot dogs and making smores. We had such a wonderful time playing family fun, visiting, boating and relaxing on the lake. This camping trip was so fun I want to come back every year, but with Nate next time.

The entire Bliss family was in Delta for Independence day, so we decided to get family pictures the next day. I think they turned out well. Everyone looked so good. Gavin did not want his picture taken, but with 31 kids one is bound to be upset.
