Pioneer Day's Celebrations!

It all began with the "Ice cream Social" in St. Johns......
We got to see cousins and long time friends! We always enjoy the reunions!
And of course......all the ICE CREAM!!!!!!
It was fun to see friends from my childhood and
have our kids play together and become friends!
(Sherry "Haws" and her girls)
GRANDMA and GRANDPA
Merrill
came and celebrated the weekend with our family.
Grandpa played the guitar and sang songs.

And Grandma taught us the secrets to her yummy homemade rolls!


FIREWORKS!!!!!
We had a fun Bar B Q on our deck and watched the Fireworks!
The girls loved the fireworks this year and were not even scared.
They were so proud of themselves that they weren't scared!

The only problem was the fireworks were an hour late, so waiting for them,
the kids got grouchy and tired, but were thrilled when they finally came!
Hanging out with the family waiting for the fireworks!
Grandma and Grandpa Pember came too!

Chapmans and Aunt Jesskya came with her girls.
The Boyz and their friends!
Teenagers always make it that much more fun!!!!!

~DANCE MATRIX~

The boys missed out on a lot of the celebrations because they had to work,
so we went to go visit them.

All the family came to watch the girls perform with Dance Matrix
for the Pioneer Day's Celebration at Pioneer Park in Snowflake.

Aunt Jessyka coaching Charlotte on her dance moves.
This cute little dance team will be performing at the Diamond Backs' Stadium for the preshow before the Diamond Back's Game on August 21st! Woo hoo! What a dream come true! And Charlotte is supposed to be in a wheel chair. She does really well and everyone loves her! The teachers there are so proud of her. She has been a real inspiration to all in this little town.
