The birthday girls.
The whole family enjoyed celebrating with them.
Me with Miss E on her real birthday.
Kim and I celebrating with Alyse the day after her birthday when she was home from Trek.
Our neighborhood had a parade for all the kids to celebrate the 24th of July which is Pioneer Day. Kaitlyn enjoyed watching the parade.
Eliza and Brianna rode in their wagon in the parade.
After the parade their was a bonce house and slide for the kids, snow cones, desserts, a clown who made balloon items for the kids. It was lots of fun!
Above is Brianna with her balloon hat.
The little girls enjoyed sparklers to celebrate Pioneer Day. Well most of them did. Brianna wasn't too sure about them at first.
Kaitlyn was fascinated by them.
Eliza just had a ball with them!
These two cuties above became Pioneers for four days as they participated in our Stakes Pioneer Trek up in Wyoming. Above and below is what they looked like before they left.

Annie and Alyse. Our girls came home hot, sweaty, so dirty, so tired, so sunburned, so blistered, but they had loved every minute of it! They gained a greater love and understanding for the Pioneers and experienced little miracles in their own lives. They said it was the hardest thing they had ever done but was also a very humbling and spiritual experience. Alyse had her birthday while on trek and said it was one she will never forget!

Happy Birthday Alyse and Emma! Glad the girls survived trek:)
I cannot imagine doing a Trek. I am glad they had a good time!
happy Birthday to them:) I want to come join in on your parties, you always have the YUMMIEST looking cakes!!! We need to come and see you guys, it has been WAY too long. Looking at those pictures of the pioneer trek brought back so many great memories. I LOVED every minute on the one I went on years ago. It was sooo hard but worth every minute of pain. Kurt started at the UT school in west jordan, it's the brand new school opening this year! We are very excited, it's going to be a hard 4 years, but worth it in the end! We sure love you guys, and I am so grateful to you and President Fisher for the example you always set for Kurt. He looks up to both of you more than you will ever know!
