Here is some of our fun pictures from our family reunion. It was rather warm this year but we all had a good great time. We even got to see a bear. Carson got the honey and started running up the hill towards the bear to give it the bear. He said "Bear loves honey, go give it to bear. Bear nice, loves honey" I told him no bear is not nice and no you can't feed the honey to the bear. Cracked me up how smart he is, except him running toward where the bear was, that was not so smart or funny!

We will be gone

We are busy getting ready to go to our big Cluff family reunion at Sherwood Forest (up by Alpine) and will be gone from Wed. to Sunday (Aug 3)! We are excited to finally get a vacation with all of us together. Megan has been in UT with aunt Heidi and Brooklyn this past couple of weeks. The boys say they don't miss her, sad I know but I asked her today over the phone if she missed them and she said no. What love we have. Richard has been keeping very busy at work putting in at least 12-14 hour days. He is pretty exhausted and deserves a good relaxing trip. The boys and I just try to keep busy. We went to our last summer movie today and have enjoyed going each monday. The boys play nintento, computer games, or watch cartoons to waste the time each day while mom keeps busy doing laundry, dishes, cleaning, and all those wonderful things moms do. I am excited for school to start to get back into a normal routine.

Happy Birthday Austin!

My Red Ryder BB Gun cake my mom and dad made! Wow that is amazing! LOL

My gun cake and target Happy Birthday Austin 8 cake

Oh and I got my very own real BB gun! I've got the best dad ever =)

Presents might have been slow opening with one hand but he was very excited to open his very first real gun. I think his dad might have been just as excited to get it! Can't wait for the cast to get off so we can go shooting. He was impressed with his gun cake and said we were giving him a clue to his real present! He had a fun day starting out with canteloupe for breakfast, free lunch with his cousins from Prescott, a movie with Summer and Taylor, and then out to dinner with the gang at TGI Friday's. Then back home for the fun party filled with silly games and prizes and lots of presents. Thanks everyone who helped make it a great day!

CRAZY HARMONS

Richard and I are the proud parents of 4 beautiful kids. We have been married almost 11 years and have grown to love each other more each day. It's amazing how much more you can love a person as the years roll by. Through trials and tuff times we have learned and grown together. We love, love, love our time alone together and so appreciate a weekend getaway or especially a 7 day cruise! We can admit we are not the best parents but we sure appreciate the opportunity God has given us to have such amazing kids. We learn so much about ourselves through them. What we are and who we want to become. We learn patience is something we both continually have to work on! The kids just adore their dad and love to go run errands with him on Saturdays. We love the sand dunes and love our many winter trips there camping, riding, and spending time together. Did I mention how perfect Richard and I are together and how much in love we are? We often say we have the perfect marriage!!! Gotta love life =)

Kids

Megan is our sweet and happy oldest and only girl. She is 10 and in the 5th grade. She brings lots of spunk and energy to our family and we are so lucky to have her! She never runs out of energy and keeps us always busy. She enjoys school and friends! Mom and Megan enjoy our ever needed girls night out together. She likes to Karaoke to Hannah Montana, dance around and be wild, swim, and of course ride quads at the dunes.

Austin is younger but taller than Megan and very proud of that. He is 9 and in the 4th grade. He is awesome in school and reads very well. Austin isn't quite as wild as the rest of the kids which mom is thankful for. He has his quiet times where we will find him in his room playing quietly. He enjoys playing the wii especially their new game Lego Star Wars which he and Rylan are getting quite good at. Austin is a joy to have in our family!

Rylan is 7 and the cutest kid in glasses ever! He has had a lazy eye since he was about 2 and still wears his glasses to keep it straight. He is in the 1st grade at Ben Franklin and doing really well. He loves being a boy and had his first broken arm. Rylan is so sweet and lovable. He tells us he loves us quite often. Don't get me wrong he can be quite the stinker too, but aren't they all! He idolizes his dad and wants to always be helping him especially on the quads or the truck, trailor, or anything outside. Rylan still loves to play with his trucks and cars and probably always will . . . just like dad!

Carson oh Carson, what do I say about my sweet baby Carson. He keeps me going all the time. He is now 5 and getting really tall. He loves his preschool class which he gets to take the short bus to (don't laugh we always knew Richard would have a kid that does)! He is an angel at school and most loved by all his teachers of course. Mom can't believe he will be going to Kindergarten this fall! He keeps us laughing all the time and says the funniest things. Carson is full of energy and keeps mom busy!
