Billington Reunion

Labor Day weekend we had a lot of fun in Montana! We love spending time at my Aunts place in the woods! There were estimated 100 plus people there, and it was great to meet new relatives, and see some we had not seen for about 20 years! We had people from Alaska to New York come join the fun! Lizzy loved playing with all the cousins and being able to just run around.

One of her new things... blinking and winking..
Aunt Goldie bought a small tee-pee that the children put their hand prints on.. they loved it.
Great Uncle Jack brought a saddle so people could take pictures on one...

Group picture on Saturday.

Band we had Sat night - Blue Grass Band
Face painting.. Lizzy loved the horse - Sara did a great job!
Lizzy eating a s'more!
The first night Hali and Lizzy were so excited to see each other, I think we were up until 2am! The girls slept in this crib, it was so cute.
Becca & Aaron brought up their ATV - so we had some fun! Again Lizzy loved this!!! She kept wanting to go on rides with Aaron and Dad... All three of us got to go for a ride!

August 2010

It's been a while. Life has been busy, and John has a had a lot of events with the business, and a few more coming up. We have been busy for about three months straight on the weekends, and it looks like October is the same, with maybe a weekend in November that we'll have "free".
Here are some pictures during the month of August.

Earthwell Festival -they had the Bat mobile...
John & Eric's booth
John's grandparents - Lizzy loved the kitty's
Grandpa just turned 90!
At the fair - had to take a picture of this HUGE tractor!


Lizzy's first day of Preschool! She loves preschool! They paint just about everyday. She loves to show me the things that she does when I pick her up!
Lizzy rock climbing at the Healthy Draper Event - she didn't go far, but enjoyed it, and wanted to try it again at the Earthwell Festival!
So funny how Lizzy loves to eat stuff too big for her...
had to snap a picture of her eating this sandwich!

Lizzy loves spending time with me.... and she decided to get all her hair clips out and put them in my hair! She did a good job and getting them in a row! She also loved to take the camera and take pictures. It's funny to go through the pictures and find ones I didn't know she took!

July 2010

For the 4th of July weekend all of Johns siblings and parents got together in Park City! It was lot of fun. We went swimming a lot, but I always forgot my camera! I also forgot it when we went camping for the first time! The next day the guys and Tiffany went fishing! We also got professional pictures taken with everyone! We had not been all together since the Christmas before Lizzy was born! We were glad everyone could make it out!

Getting ready for pictures!
This bear was in the lobby area, it was huge! Lizzy wanted a picture with it... so here it is!
On the 3rd, The Canyons do a big fireworks show, and we saw them setting up we went down the small gondola (not sure it's that's what it's called) to the 7-11.
The kids loved their treat! While we waited for the guys to get back from fishing!
Hanging out in the room, getting ready for our big breakfast!
On the 4th we headed to John's grandparents and had a dinner and fireworks. It was great!

Lizzy enjoyed the sparklers... did much better this year!
Cousins, Ethan & Lizzy, and I watching the fireworks!
I was home for 4 days, and then went to California! That was not expected at all! I called someone from work, and they were in UT, and going back alone the next day! I had planned to go out the following weekend with John for his business meeting, but it worked out well. Lizzy and I went with Tammy, and were able to spend time with Mom, Dad, Scott & Eva for about 5 days! Emma and her family were there for about three of those days as well! Scott & Lizzy had so much fun playing outside!

On Wednesday I went with Becky and her family to see Wicked in S.F – it was amazing!

Thursday morning John, Eric and Tagen arrived around 2am! After some rest, and visiting with friends we went to the Academy of Sciences in S.F. with Tagen & Eric

That night we went to a BBQ. Friday night we also went to a "Specific" dinner... that is where the pictures were taken below:
Lizzy loved the Train & Doll House!

Saturday while John was at a meeting Lizzy and I went to the Oakland Temple Visitors Center. She loved it there!

We were tired of all the driving, so we didn’t stay for the team dinner and activity that night; instead we drove back to Stockton, and went to Sushi with the our friends Becky & Jason! It's always nice to see them! It was also nice to get to bed a little earlier!

Lizzy and Becky & Jason kids.

Once in Utah it was back to the swimming. Lizzy went to her cousin's b-day party, and she really enjoyed swimming
After, we went to Seven Peaks. She loves going to the water slides and did very well!
This was at Cowabungra Bay awhile back. Lizzy loves the water slides, and she would stay in a pool all day if I let her!
