Bedspread

We painted Logans bed frame which had been sitting in the garage for a few years, he loved the red color! I was nervous at first with the PINK color of the paint, but one more coat of red and and antique glaze finish it made it just right. We didn't have a bedspread for it, so I got a cheap blue and cut out and sewed in the race car. Logan loved it, he kept saying he couldn't wait to sleep with his new race car. Love it!

Blueberries

Picked 9 lbs of berries today. Rowell Brothers farm, 1.25/lb.

Oregon Coast

 My friend Jillyn and I packed up the kids and headed to the beach yesterday.  The weather was going to be perfect, cloudy in the morning and a sunny afternoon. 

 We gathered driftwood to make a fire, Jacob built us a perfect fire pit.  We finally got a small fire going and enjoyed it until all the wood was almost gone.

 There was a huge log about 15 yards away and we rolled it on top of our little fire.  We were laughing so hard!  It actually started on fire and was doing really well until the fire underneath started to go out.  We needed more driftwood, but the people next to us were hogging all the wood.  ha!  Next time we will bring firewood and and s'mores.

 The kids did what they do best, play in the sand and build lots of awesome forts.

The Climb

 One of the favorite things the girls did, they said, was climbing up Uncle Matt's rock wall at his house.  Jaida started up the wall and giggled her way to the top, taking her time.

 Once she reached the top she found the bowl of candy and threw her piece down.

 Jenna heard there was candy at the top and flew up the wall in record time to get to it...and in flip flops no less. 

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.
