Summer 2011

 So here are some highlights of our summer so far!  Ella is getting so big! She amazes me on how much she is constantly changing...such a cutiepatootie!

 Rachel missing a tooth she has lost a total of 3 teeth so far this summer! You go girl!

 The girls enjoyed R.A Long Cheer camp that was for a couple of days...they learned enough cheers to drive me crazy enough this summer...I'm hoping that cheerleading is a phase!

 Group shot with some of the cheerleaders from RA Long High School.

 Ella in her pioneer bonnet for our Stake Pioneer Picnic...it was lots of fun but not a lot of 1st ward children were there to represent.

 She is ready for her close-up Mr. De Mil...heehaw so cute!

 So at the end of July we had a Mumford family Reunion and it was so much fun being with everyone! Here are the Mumford Ladies: Patricia, Mom, Kelly, Valerie, Riley, Angela, and Me.

 Mumford and Sons: Craig, Chad, Dad, and Jon.

 All of the Mumford Grandchildren: Front; Tayson, Landon, Caleb, Emily, and Rachel. Back; Tyler holding Ella, Julia, and Brittany holding James.

 Such cute cousins! Brittany holding James...he is such a beautiful little boy!

 At the beginning of August we celebrated Rachel's 7th birthday and she had a blast! Here she is bobbing for apples but she calls it cobbing for apples...heehee!

 All of her birthday party guests!

 Rachel with her BFF Madeline Glenn and the present that Maddie got her. Rachel also wished her other BFF Jacinda could have come but she is excited to see her at  the end of September when we make a trip to Utah...it will be so nice to see them!

 She also got here ears pierced for her birthday and loves to show them off! She is so girly!

 She also got a make-up kit from her Aunt Ashley for her birthday and this is what we found on a Saturday morning. She hadn't even realized that she had put it on in her sleep.  We have caught her sleep talking, walking and eating before but sleep make-upping takes the cake with that girl...wondering if we should invest in some type of harness to keep her in bed at night.  I think this is why she doesn't get invited over for sleepovers-hahaha!

And precious Ella! She is becoming such a sweet girl. We finally get to get away for a bit here at the end of the month before school starts so that should be fun and I will report about that later. We are excited for the school year to start or at least I am and looking forward to our trip to Utah that will be here before we know it.  Summer of 2011 has been a nice easy breezy one and sometimes those can be the most memorable.  I will catch up on all the books and movies I have enjoyed this summer later. TTFN!
