I finally found a pretty white bed for laney. I have looked everywhere so my mom was at shopko and said that there was bed there. I loved it. Its exactly what I was looking for and laney loves it she is so excited to have a new taller bigger bed.

We are also getting ready to go on our annual sautter family vacation this weekend and me and brant were the ones in charge so it has been fun and stressful at the same time. I think we will have a good time and all 14 grandkids will just love being together and playing together. We are staying at a cabin in Bear Lake that is candace's aunt and uncles so I am really thankful for candace and her relatives for letting us all stay there. This vacation is always fun for the whole family cause the kids just play really good and it gives the parents a chance to enjoy playing games, watching movies and staying up late talking about silly stuff. We are very excited to go on our trip and I am sure I will have lots of pics for you to see when we get back.

Maya loves playing with her older sisters play shoes. so pretty

Well we finally had our California trip and it was a ton of fun. Brant and I left on a friday and then we went home on sunday. My sisters and mom came sunday after Brant left. We had a great time visiting temples and going to the beach. The weather was perfect and yes Brant and I got totally sun burnt. When Brant and I went to huntington beach the U.S. open of surfing was going on so we were able to see alot of surfing while we were there. I missed my kids terrible but it was really fun to get away for a little while. So here are some of the pictures of our trip I know there is alot but I really wanted to share all of these pics so bare with me when you look at them.

Happy 4th of July to everyone. We had a great time on the 4th. We actually started our celebration a little early and went to see the fireworks on Friday the 3rd at Rigby Lake. They were really cool. Todd has a patient that owns a house right by the lake so we were able to sit on the lawn and have the perfect view of the fireworks. On the 4th we went over to April's house and had a BBQ. The kids swam and Grandma made a pool with bubbles for the kids to make giant bubbles. The kids had a blast. Then the adults played waterballoon volleyball it was a blast. Then we lit off our own fireworks but by then the kids were pretty tired and wanted to go home. All in all we had a great time celebrating the 4th of July.

My flower bed after we had to fix it because of all the rain it made all of my plants sink and the dirt sunk down by the window well
