The start of our family vacation

We started our family vacation, a day before Dan could get off of work. We met up with Nana and Fred, where they were kind enough to provide lunch for us. Kathryn and her kids came to, we had a nice visit, then Nana and Fred left for Price.  We then drove to Parowan to their Daughters of Utah Pioneer Museum, at an Old Rock Church.  We saw all kind of old relics.

 And we each had a chance to ring the bell! It took some muscle!

                     After, we went to pick up our brag badge, at this fun restaurant in Parowan.

    We then dropped by to see Grandma Murray and Uncle Raymond, Uncle Raymond was eating.

                                                  It was a nice start to our vacation!

the 4th of July

 For the 4th of July weekend this year, we went camping with our friends, in the Uintahs!

                                               We went to Oakley to watch their parade!

                                              We had a fun time playing lots of Wacky 6,

                                                                        Reading,

 Cooking,

 Playing,

 Chatting,

 Smiling,

 Playing Viking Chess, Kuub!

 Playing bingo,

 Winning prizes,

 And enjoying the view!

 We had a great time with the Manziones, the Hammers, the Kings,the Beazers, the Calls, and the rest of the Tonioli family! Kate had to stay home and work, and it was hard to leave her, but we still enjoyed our time together.

Father's Day, a Pergola, A Driver, and an Adult...

So what does Father's day, a pergola, another licensed driver, and an adult have in common? They are are all things that happened in the Bryant household in the month of June!!

We love our dad! He works so hard and makes us laugh! He can also build things, he started building a pergola in our backyard! We ripped out our falling apart, very dangerous deck last summer, and this summer Daniel started working on this pergola, along with some flower beds, and what will be our back patio! Can't wait for it to be done so we can enjoy it on the weekends, instead of working on it on the weekends!

We also had someone work really hard to learn to parallel park, among other things...

so she could get her Driver's License! Way to go! She passed on her first try, and Kate's 18th Birthday! (So proud of you, beautiful girl!)

Which means we have a new adult in our household! Time sure flies by fast!

We spent the morning playing her favorite game "Ticket to Ride" and then she spent the afternoon with her friends.

We then spent the evening at Lagoon!

Sure love this beautiful daughter of mine...not sure where the time has gone, but she sure has grown into being a caring, hard working, faithful, beautiful person! So glad to call her mine!

Some Cousin time at the Conference Center

The Stathis family decided to stay a couple of extra days after graduation, so we decided to head into Salt Lake and go on a tour of the Conference Center, I had never been on a tour, but I guess a couple of my kids had. I loved learning about the marble they used, and learning about the architecture they used when designing the conference hall, that everything was taken into consideration! Amazing!

One of Jonathon's Great Uncles (I think it was) was a General Authority! I think he kind of looks like him!

These two cute girls are 16!

We went to the historic Lion House for lunch, it was delicious!

So grateful we could spend some cousin time on Temple Square! So blessed!
