This year we only went camping a couple times. We had a ward campout at Mutual Dell - and Landon and I went home at midnight, and then we camped at Granite Flats which was very nice. This spring was cool and wet through June - so I feel like our summer got started late.
Dallin and Ella Rode in the command car for the Freedom Festival Parade. Uncle Scott drove and Grandpa Stokes rode in the back. They loved it, Scott had to hot wire the car to start, and their were the usual bumps along the way.
We love the 4th of July parade!
Yeah! We finally got a new camera! Now we can take better photos of the cutest kids ever!
Dallin is an awesome baseball player! He didn't strike out all season! Toward the end of the season, he told Ryan that he could hit it a lot harder, but he didn't want to because it stung his hands! This team was so fun, because we had so many friends on it.
I didn't get these up in order, but here is Ella's Leprechan trap. She said that she had one eye open most of the night, but the little guy still got away with her money and some spinach. (Leprechan's like spinach because it is green - of course!) Luckily he left her a few treats.
Landon Loves Thomas!
He was so excited to go ride on him!
Ryan is known as the best French Toast maker at our house.
St. George.
This is what spring looks like at our house.
Dallin loved her right away - she did come with a book and a little tool set for him! He called her Ewa and would just sit and watch her. He would clap when she rolled over which she did often, starting when she was only 4 days old!
Here is Ella on her 1st Birthday. She was such a sweetheart and an easy baby! She slept in a swing at the foot of Ryan and I's bed until she was several months old. And even then she was a good sleeper and a great napper! She would get her blanket and her baby and stand by her crib until I put her in for a nap. 
This is Ella at 2. Holding a snake no less. Her darling little curls stayed right around her ears until she was almost 4. Ella is a sweet little mommies girl and is so darling. She loves babies and dresses. She is definately a girly girl. We love her!
