Lego event with just the boys and cousin Jake.

Last day of school deserves a Slurpee!  Hooray for Summer!!

UTV ride to Bluffdale park with Grandma

These kids are lucky to have such fun Grandparents!  They got to go check out the new park, but even cooler, they got ride on the HULK to the park!

Paxton's across the street buddy, Blake got baptized.  It's fun to see Pax have friends being a good example and to see him look up to them and be excited to be baptized himself.

This is what Graham did in my door one day when I told him to give me some privacy while I was using the bathroom.  Silly kid!

Swimming Lessons

Swimming lessons with neighbor friends is always fun!  It's fun to watch these kids get better at swimming and LOVE being in the water!

It's fun to have a pass to the aquarium and to be able to bring different friends each time we go.

One of my clients had a Bamitzfa, we went to the after party.  There was great food, entertainment and of course... dancing!  My client, Theresa was lifted in a chair while we danced circles around her.  It was pretty great, but the best part of the night was watching (and dancing with) Graham have the time of his life and dance the night away!  Many other people were also entertained by his dancing, it was great!  Paxton became a little shy on the dance floor and instead made some friends to run around and play with.

T-ball for Graham!  It was pretty funny to watch this age group play some t-ball.  Graham wasn't super in to it other than hitting the ball.  The outfield stuff was boring and you could often find him picking the grass, his dad yelling at him to pay attention and being in his own little world off in la la land.  Let's just say that I think soccer will be a better fit for him!

Lots of swim days at the pool this summer!

Some of my family joined me and my kids on a hike up to this bridge.  

Bluffdale water park with cousin, Jake!  The kids had a blast and the moms had a small panic attack when they lost sight of the kids.  That park is SO busy!!

We went to Liberty Park with some friends to a Charity Food Truck event, enjoyed some good food, music and beautiful weather!  The only bummer is they didn't have the water park up and running, but the kids had fun at the playground!

Weekend Camping Trip at Diamond Fork

We went camping with my parents and Jamie and her family.  The campsite was full when we got there, but my Dad was able to talk the manager down in price on group site.  It was nice to have a big empty parking lot to ourselves where the kids could ride their bikes and scooters with no worries.  We relaxed in hammocks, roasted marshmallows by the fire, shot arrows and went on utv rides. It was a beautiful canyon to explore! The next day we hiked to the hot pots which ended up being 5 miles round trip. The kids made it to the top although it was a little rough with Graham wanting to be held a lot!  I was proud of them though!  The hot pots were cool to see but it was so hot that we got our feet wet in the cold water by the waterfall instead. After we were all so exhausted that we relaxed for hours in the air conditioned RV and in the hammocks. Then we did some more bikes and utv riding. It was a fun weekend of camping! 

Happy Father's Day!!!
These boys sure adore their dad!  We are so lucky to have him in our lives!  I love watching them spend time together.  The kids know that one of dads favorite things to do is to take a nap so they did just that with him on fathers day out in the hammock.  

I got the kids each a pair of matching socks with their dad.  Rem couldn't decide who to match so he just wore one of each.

We are super grateful for these other two dad's/grandpa's in our lives!  They sure are full of love and love there grand kids sooo much!

Aquarium

More good times at the Aquarium with cousin Jake!

and ice cream to follow!

Happy Birthday/Graduation/Thankful 

for all the hard work you do PARTY

I failed as a wife celebrating my husband so this party was overdo!   When he turned 30, 4 years ago I had planned a surprise party, but I wound up in the hospital after having baby Graham and had to cancel the party and then I never planned it again.  So this party was making up for that.  Also he Graduated from the U of U back in fall I believe and he decided not to walk because he would have to wait.  So this party is also for finally Graduating!!  And lastly, he has done so much hard work on updating our home that we wanted so show our friends and family.  So I planned a big party for him and invited tons of family and friends.  We had a great turn out and it was a blast!  Rem was very pleased with his celebration!

I do have to say that I need to plan more parties because it gets him super motivated to get projects done!  I'm glad I didn't make it a surprise party.
