Helm Family Reunion 2016 (Part 1)
So.. somehow this blog post got deleted. I put all the pictures in here (along with the video) so we can at least see them. Probably won't ever put the words back in... I can't remember them :(

4th of July 2016
Catching up...
First off... Emily's beets were beautiful..
And tasty too..
See the bloody knife? Means they were good.
Jared Amy and Gage moved :(
But they came back for the 4th of July with everyone there... and I just took a few pictures of doing fireworks.
It was one of Gage's cousins birthday on the 4th of July (Camden?) so Emily gave him a sword firework (forgot it was his birthday so we had to scramble to find presents to give). Jared had one for Gage so they lit them at the same time.
Sword of Truth!
Well.. I think they had fun.
I tried to get a picture with our little fireworks in the street and our neighbors fireworks exploding in the sky :)
It is very loud in Utah for the 4th of July.. or anytime they are allowed to set fire to stuff.
It was enjoyed by all our pyrotechnical minded family..
Two days later Gage jumped on the trampoline with a mattress.
In preparation for visitors coming to stay on their way to the Family Reunion!
Up Next... Family Reunion!

May and June updates
I want to have at least one post this month... So here is a bunch of pictures...
I had a birthday (shout hooray!)
Emily gave me lots of good things for our house
And of course, who doesn't need a dagger?
Aaron gave me a new ironing board and Jenny gave me a new clothes drying rack. It was a good haul.
My coworkers sometimes give me food to give to the goats. Susan especially likes to give goat offerings so I took a picture of Spots begging for the grapes.
I also took a couple videos but they were just for Susan to enjoy.
I passed my California PE tests! BOTH on the first try! *mic drop*
Got my fingerprints taken and now I just have to wait for them to get to CA and they process them. Apparently it can takes months. Sigh.
The dogs like to get into the front seat while I'm in the library... are not even ashamed when I get back.
For Memorial Weekend we went and looked at some graves Sunday at the Salt Lake City.
We found Gage's relatives.. he kinda looks like them, huh?
Jared and Amy posing.
We also found some of Dad's too... again.
The wives were listed on the back.
For actual Memorial Day we went over to participate in the little ceremony they hold at the Bluffdale cemetery.
Very nice... short and sweet.
Then Aaron had a birthday!
Shout Hooray!
Alot of the presents didn't come in time for him to open so he had to open pictures... of course, then it was the birthday that just kept giving!
Mom and her sisters came by before they went to a cousins reunion there in SLC. Then Mom spent some days with us.
Aaron taught Mom how to play his new game.
Its fun to make the Panda's eat bamboo.
Jared Amy and Gage (JAG) went camping one weekend and had smores... so I wanted some too! But I'm too lazy to build a fire (Emily was late home from work and she's our fire starter) so we did the next best thing...
S'mores over the Stove! Its so good with the chocolate melted in the toaster oven so the graham cracker gets nice and crispy... Emily likes nutella on one side and peanut butter on the other.
I took some video one evening of the baby goats.. they are getting so big.
They were clowning around a bit until I came out there... and they are more wild in the mornings..
Jared and Aaron rolled these stumps out for them but nobody has tried (that I've seen) to get to the top.
And then Jared had a birthday, shout hooray! We had gone out to eat so his "cake" was a hamburger bun..
He got presents but I didn't take any pictures of that.
Last Sunday as we ate desert together with Jenny and family, Angela, Mom and Dad, and Alec and Jalyn, I was looking around for presents to wrap... what with the birthdays, fathers day, and closing day we sure had a bunch of parties!
This weekend JAG are moving out... but don't worry, they will be back to celebrate the 4th with us :)
So excited for the Family Reunion! next week!

They love grapes! Tulip says give them to me now!
