Gary & Amber

My Brother Gary is getting married. He asked Amber Martin back in May. Gary took Amber up in a small airplane and flew over mom's back pasture. The field had huge letters that spelled out “WILL YOU MARRY ME”! Thanks to, Sanya, Mom, Me, Ambers Mom and friend (we had to create the letters, ugh). I am working on getting those pics from mom, and will post them later. It was hot, but fun.

Their wedding date is 8/8/08. We can't wait, we just love Amber! She is so cute and sweet.

Amber & Gary we love you guys, good luck with the wedding plans.

Here is a link to the engagement pics. (I hope the link works)

Mel and her Family came to visit from Utah

My sister Melissa and her family stayed with us the first two week in June. Boy did we have a blast! I think we went swimming almost every day. We went bowling; shopping (thanks to Kaitlyn and her babysitting skills) and had 2 Fenn family parties. I don’t think anyone had much sleep during the two weeks, but oh what a fun time we had. Here are A LOT of pics from our time together

Here we are at the mall, getting ready to go to the movies.
We had to ride the new 2 story carousel

Mel and I went shopping, when we got home this was the picnic that Kaitlyn and the kids put together. It was so cute I had to snap a shot! Kavin love the goggles


Here is Rick, Emily and Bailee at the first party we had at my house, good food, good fun, good family.

Emily, Bailee, Nina (my wonderful sis-in-law) Cameron is on her lap, and Krissy

Melissa and Aaron aren't they so adorable!

Bailee, Brady and Me -I got my hair permed (just for a change) it only lasted a week. I am back to strait hair :(

Natalie is gorgeous- I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Uncle Dj, Kaitlyn and Uncle Gary went to the late show of Kong fu Panda (Kaitlyn was so excited, but got home really late)


Here we are at Calvin and Sanya's house for another family party- Pizza and watermelon

Kaitlyn and Krissy eating watermelon


Dad and Phil (my bro.) having a conversation. I am sure it had to do with Qwest (that is who they both work for)

Grandma is sure enjoying that watermelon (ha ha ha....sorry mom)

Cameron is a cutie

Brady is cracking up about something

This is the last night the Lunts spent with us here in Arizona. Check out licorice man he is crying. (Is that how you spell licorice aka red vines? Sanya could tell me.)

Lunts- thanks for coming to Arizona and starting off the summer with a bang! We love and miss you guys. ~The Binghams!

Fathers Day

Father’s day was fun at our house. Brady got exactly what he wanted, a new camping cook stove. All went well, we had our traditional shrimp feast (a tradition started by Brady's dad). The funny thing that happened was at primary. The leader was asking all the children what they love about their fathers. Emily raised her hand and said that she loves her dad because he lets her do the front page of homework and mom makes her do both sides. All the teachers in primary where cracking up, they all had to tease Brady after church. It was so funny, because it is true. So I will finish this post by quoting a song from Bill Cosby, “Dad is great, he feeds us chocolate cake.” We do love our dad/hubby even if he skips some of the homework.

Our trip to Tucson

My Brother Kevin was put into the bishopric in Tucson. We went to his ward to support him being set apart as a High Priest. Later we went to his house to eat lunch here are some pics of all the Fenn Family cousins.

Ramen Noodle Soup

I can honestly say that I Ramen Noodle's, but my kids love them. They would eat them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We don't have them very often, so when we do it's a treat! I found Aaron eating his bowl of the highly coveted noodles like this....

Congrats Aunt Brook!

Way to go Aunt Brook! (Brady's Sister)
This is her HS Graduation back in May. (Sorry my post is so late)

Becca was happy to be in Pima, she loves it there (we all do).

Emily was sitting with Aunt Carrie


It is hard to sit through a graduation, and they did a fabulous!












Aaron with his Uncle Nick (Brady's brother)

Aaron is Nick's mini me. They are two peas in a pod.
All Aaron needs is some facial hair.
We are all waiting for the graduation to start.
