Lagoon!

It was high time we took the kids to Lagoon! We had so much fun! I was so surprised Jenna rode Colossus...twice! We had Kylie with s that made it awesome. Next year maybe we'll talk russ into coming too!

Logans First Talk

Bubby gave his first talk in primary today about prayer. He did a great job, we're so proud of him!

Days of 47 Floats

We got to preview the floats at the Expo Center yesterday. It was so much better than watching the parade, it was amazing to see how much detail goes into these things! After, we got to have dinner at the Mayan and watch the divers, we were so close we got wet when they were flipping into the water.

Here Fishy Fishy

Today was fun, we met up with my friend and her kiddos and went to a pond in Pleasant Grove. Jaida fished the whole time and caught about 5 fish, Jenna and Bubby played in the dirt and got wet most the time. Just before we left Jenna caught a little fishy, she was so excited that she threw her pole down and started running over to tell me she caught one. I told her to pick up her pole and keep the fish in the water until I got my phone to take a picture. Fun day with friends! Thanks Julianne!

Sneeze

I was helping Logan get dressed this morning for church. He had a mouth full of French toast and started to sneeze. I covered his mouth for 2 sneezes and had bits of food on my hand. I said, "this is why you need to cover your mouth when you sneeze!". He said, "but then I'll get food all over my hand!!". Nice.

Canyon

Went up the canyon last night, we took this moth we caught in the backyard to show the grandkids. We had a "Dutch oven cook-off", I made enchiladas, Mindy made peach cobbler (mmmm), Ma made beans...the judges are still deliberating. It was a beautiful day and fun night, love the mountains.

Gardens

Grandma took us to Thanksgiving Point gardens Friday morning. Everything is so beautiful there. My favorite was smelling the roses, always takes me back to being at my grandma Joyce's house. A close second were the fish, funny to watch.

Dinos

What's a trip to Utah without the Dinosaur museum? Mindy came along with the kids. Our favorite was the beginning where we got to see and test different moving contraptions. Dinner at JCWs afterward was the perfect end.

The lake

Grandpa took us out on the lake yesterday. The kids got to steer the boat, they thought it was awesome, I just got dizzy.

Swim

We had Mindy's kiddos this morning for pancakes and then decided to go swimming.  We got our lunches packed and looked outside, this is what we saw!  Complete with thunder, lightning and huge raindrops. 

 We waited 10 minutes and it passed...we made it to the pool.

Sunday

We had 30 people over on Sunday for dinner, lots of cousins and family on both sides.  The kids had a blast playing with their cousins from Colorado last week.  We miss them already!

 Sister and brother.

Family Photo

We had family pictures last night with all the family.  Out of the whole month this ONE day was the only day that worked for everyone!  I took a few shots of my kiddos while waiting for others to get their pictures done.

 Here is a preview of one of the grandkid pictures.  So dang cute!

Train

Walked along the tracks with the kids looking for golf balls, this guy came along just in time.

Temple Square

We got to go to temple square in Salt Lake with the cousins. Beautiful day and fun to spend time with family.

Flight

Freedom Festival

We woke up nice and early to head down to the Freedom Festival in Provo this morning.  Grandma and Grandpa took the kiddos down to watch the balloons launch while Russ and I went down with Mindy, Dustin and Mike to run the 5K.

After the race Russ and I walked over to the parade festivities

It was a perfect day for the parade, the sun was hiding for most of it so we didn't get roasted.

We headed over to Scott's house for lunch and jumping...here is Logan playing Superman.
