My dad loves his grand kids and he loves to go camping and fishing. So he took Paxton, Graham and Jake camping in his RV in Manti. They went on UTV rides, fishing, swimming and more. These boys got spoiled with new fishing rods and hammocks! They had such a blast and grandpa said he can't wait to do it again! These boys sure do have the best grandpa around!
Harper 5 months old
I love those little chunker thighs!
Doesn't she look just like me?
She sure loves Paxton! Paxton is so cute with her! Anytime I ask him to watch her or get her from her crib or something, he is right on it and loves to do it!
Hike to Donut Falls
My sister, Erika and I took our kids for a hike up to Donut Falls. I hadn't been there since I was a kid. The kids kept getting distracted along the way, like climbing up these cool roots from the trees. It was pretty crowded once we got to where we could see the falls and lots of people were climbing up them. but we decided not to because we had the babies with us and it was super crowded. It was a fun little hike and nice to be up in the mountains.
Backstreet Boys Concert
My sister-in-law, Sandee was able to get 4 tickets at a discount price in a suite for the Backstreet Boys concert. So I went with her and my two sisters. It was such a blast (from the past)! It brought back so many memories and I LOVED it!!!!
Cutest baby cousins
I love that my sisters and I had babies all around the same time! I told them we should continue pictures like this all the way until they are teenagers!
Activity Days- day camp
I love my church calling! I get to hangout and teach these cute girls. In the summer we decided to do a 2 day Day Camp instead of monthly activities. On the first day we went up the canyon for a few hours and played games, made bracelets, shoot bow and arrows, ate lunch and sang girls camp songs. It was way fun and we should have planned to stay for several more hours!
The second day we had a pizza pool party. Harper got to come with on both days. My boys even got to come to the pool party. We all had a ton of fun!
This is the Place Heritage Park
While Paxton and Rem were in Bear Lake for Young Mens high adventure, I took Graham and Harper to This is the Place with Liana and his cousins Keladry, Owen and Lucy. I love watching Graham and how excited he gets for things. He was most excited to go find more tiny rocks!
Girls day out
My mom and sisters and Sandee planned a girls day. We went and got pedicures, did some shopping and went out to dinner. It was fun being with the girls!
First day of School
Graham was so excited to start first grade and be able to eat lunch at school. He has two teachers, Mrs. Jessop and Mrs. Gardner, they are splitting the day so one teaches in the morning and one in the afternoon. It was fun to take him school clothes shopping and we decked him out in all puma, I even made his shirt, he was so excited!
Paxton was kind of excited to go back to school. He was excited to see his friends, but not as excited to be going back to school. He had a great first day though and seemed more excited about it when he got home. He got the new teacher, Ms. Athens, she's on her 4th year of teaching. Paxton did not want to go back to school clothes shopping so we will do it later in the year when he actually needs new clothes.
Sometimes I go walking in the mornings and walk over to the school with the kids. One morning I was a little behind and when I got over to the school I noticed a bunch of kids all surrounding Graham. They had found a grass hopper and of course Graham was the one that was picking it up and it even jumped up on his shoulder at one point. Graham loves bugs and isn't afraid to pick them up. He was loving all the attention!
Happy 60th dad!
It was my dad's 60th birthday! He also sold the Chuck-a-Rama business back in December last year so we had a big retirement party for him (although he is still working for Chuck, but just part time and only because of the health insurance). So because he had a big retirement party he didn't want a big birthday party so we just went to dinner with the whole family. We got him a U of U sign for his yard and everyone went in on a pebble ice machine for his house. Dad loves his ice!
Go T-Wolves!
We went to go watch one of Uncle Dan's football games. I was bummed to not stay for very long because my mom, Harper and I were going camping in Midway that night and to Swiss Days the next day. So we didn't want to be out too late. It was such the perfect weather and so nice to be outside. Unfortunately the T-Wolves didn't win their game, but the boys had fun hanging out with their cousins.
Camping and Swiss Days
Swiss Days is a big event they put on in Midway, I like to go for the shopping, there are a ton of cute vendors. It has become a very popular event and is super crowded, but I had to go this year because I finally have my little girl that I can shop for!
My dad had a camping spot in Midway and he went and parked his RV there and said any of us could use it. So my mom and I went and stayed the night and went shopping the next day. It was a lot of fun hanging out just the 3 of us and I found some cute girly things to buy at Swiss Days for my little Harper. She did so good camping and shopping in the heat, it was a hot day!
