Crack-a-lackin 4th!

Twas the night before the 4th of July, Jay was found in his bed like this & we don't know why.




Asher got to drive the John Deere first, & Jay was NOT happy. Asher was though.


Proud to be an American!
4th of July shirts & swimsuits.



Jaydan River 5 years old.


Asher Nickolas 3 years old.


Matt with 1 year old Ridge.


The spread at the Kusgen's beautiful home. (Thanks so much for hosting!)
Yummy burgers & hot dogs. Beans from Jack Stack BBQ, jalapeno corn, pasta salad, yummy green salad, fresh fruit, dips & chips. The all American meal. The desserts took up an entire counter on the other side of the room. Sidenote: See the cool Pepsi-Cola sign on the wall? Jenny & her sister painted it on there. Muy talented familia.


Jay & Ash on the boat getting pumped to go tubing!

A. looks like the king of his domain.


Alka Seltzer rockets for the kids. Asher was the last one to stop making them. He loved making them shoot up and especially the big "POP!"


We watched the fireworks on Raintree Lake. Here is a shot with 4 of the 5 of us. Jay stayed with the big kids while the adults went out on the boat. We all had a fantastic day! We are so blessed to live in this wonderful country.

Looks so fun! Do you guys have a boat?!? Your boys are all so cute - Jay has got to be one of the most handsome little boys I've ever seen!

I had a dream about you last night. I dreamed we were on "So you think you can dance" together. Needless to say, we were AWESOME!

Oh, I have the most handsome nephews in the world, and I'm willing to protest that fact in case someone doesn't agree. We are so excited to see you all in 13 DAYS!!! Wahoo!!
as for my posting frequency...I don't have adorable kids to write about and take pictures of all the time. The only time our lives are interesting are on the weekends and we don't have pictures of last weekend, so be nice. :( Other than that Rob is at school full time and I am at work full time.= Boring! (oh yeah, and we are at the mercy of our neighbor for internet, but don't tell her that, so we only have internet when she is on.) See all of those great excuses!

Your family is too cute! Your boys are adorable! You guys are going to be in trouble in a few years when little girls start calling your house! What a perfect little family you guys have!

Looks like you guys had fun from sun up to sun down (and later)! Always a party when the Jeppsons are around!

By the way, we drove by Mike's beautiful new office in St. George. We will probably go see him since Dan is going to do a more specialized avenue of dentistry...crazy huh!

I love the 4th. It looks like you had an awesome day! I miss the Kusgen hosted events. They are always amazing!

I must say, your boys are adorable!

Definitely taking after their mom with the looks. If only they were more outdoorsy like their Uncle Sean. Hehehe
