friday family fun

Last Friday Nathan, Tarin, and Buster took a trip out to the far east side to spend the evening with my sister and her family. Fun times were had by all (See below)

Buster and Lily had so much together. Jon had dug a pit for Lily to help her stay cool in summer heat- and she had shown not interest in it until Buster came over. They cuddled in their "love pit" most of the night. It was cute.

Uncle Nathan had to run to work for a little while, and while he was gone I spent some time with my nieces in their tent watching Toy Story 2.

They're so cute! I love them!

I couldn't get them to look at the camera though- haha

Another picture of the puppies! They wore each other out playing so hard all afternoon.

Jessica and Jon made a delicious dinner of BBQ chicken, homemade french fries, and Melody's favorite- Beans!

After dinner, we put the little kids to bed and we ventured outside to roast giant marshmallows and make smores!

Jessica, demonstrating how to make the perfect toasty marshmallow.

Nathan, keeping cool and hydrated. It was at least 95 degrees outside and we were sitting by a campfire. It was HOT!

Brigham, showing off his messy smore goodness.

Sisters!

Melty marshmallow goodness.

Nathan holding the new baby- so cute.

Nathan really didn't want me to take these pictures, but I couldn't resist- it was just too cute. He's going to be such a good daddy one day.

This picture looks so gross. It looks like Jon puked up a smore and Jessica was eating it out of his mouth.

This is more of the look we were going for- a lady and tramp type sharing of the smore.
Nathan and I couldn't quite get the look down.

And when we got the hang of it, we had a visitor in our picture. Jon is so silly.

By the end of the night, the puppies were filthy! We stuck Buster in the shower when we got home and the bottom of our shower turned brown. It was so gross- but he had a good time.

After we finished up our fun outside, we went in a played some video games. The boys played smash brother down stairs and Jessica and I played Guitar Hero upstairs. It was tons of fun, we'll have to do it again sometime- minus the camp fire until it gets a little cooler outside.
