Family Pictures

My amazingly talented sister took pictures of our families at Lake Tahoe.  I LOVE them!!!

July 2014

Love to see these two laughing!  Paxton loves to try and do things to make his brother laugh.

I know this picture is blurry, but I just love when they play like this and make each other laugh.

Slip n' Slide and GG's house with the cousins.  Paxton had a blast!  We didn't even have time to put him in his swim suit.  So instead he wore his swim suit home.  

We had popsicles too at GG's.  Paxton doesn't normally like me to take his picture, but he sure was being silly for these ones!

The Aquarium

We went to the Aquarium with our friends Jake and Nicci and their two kids.  This was their first time going, and we have been several times.  So Paxton was being very talkative (what's new) and telling them all about everything and rushing us along to see the next and the next thing.

Paxton isn't a fan of trying new things and did not want to walk across this.  But just like most things, once he tries it, he loves it!

The four kiddos.  Wow!  I can't believe we actually got a picture of them all standing there.

Then we went and picked up dinner and went to a splash pad park.

Paxton was the only one that liked running through the water (which he didn't want to at first, but once he tried it, he loved it).  Then him and Rainne had fun rolling down the huge hill!

      Liberty Park Seven Canyons Fountain

I just found out about this place not too long ago.  This was our first time going and it was a lot of fun!  Well Paxton loved it, Graham wasn't too sure of it.  My cousin and here kids came and Jamie and Lucy.  We will definitely go back next year!

Salt Lake Bee's Game

One of my awesome clients had season tickets and told me to call him whenever to go a game.  We had a lot of fun and he had great seats!  The boys loved it!

Happy 24th of July!

Last minute we decided to meet up with some of my family in Cottonwood Heights to watch fireworks.  We had great seats and they put on a great firework show!

Lake Tahoe

My parents took our family on an awesome vacation!  They rented a big beautiful house in Lake Tahoe.  It had a walking path through the woods right by the house and the beach was only a 2 minute drive away.  We had a blast!

We played at the beach a lot!  Paxton loved playing in the water where he could touch.  And he made new friends to play in the sand with.

We had a raft and tubes to play in the water with.  We loved floating out in the tubes, it was very relaxing!  The bottom of the tubes are a sort of mesh, so the water comes up through.  It was cold getting into the water, but once you were in it felt really good.

We rented bikes 2 different times and went on a really fun bike trail.  Paxton loved riding his "own" pedal bike with daddy.  I think he's ready for his OWN bike at home!

Waiting for the sunset and playing in the sand.

Hiking and biking.

We had so much fun, I wish it wasn't over!  I would love to go to Lake Tahoe again, it was beautiful!

June 2014

This little one likes to get in my fridge every time I open it.

Paxton loves to make Graham laugh.  And I love it too!

Color time while mommy makes dinner.

Graham loves swords just like his big brother!

Love my tough boys ;)

Visiting GG, the kids love to go for rides on her walker!  

LUCY!

Lucy's parents went to Hawaii for a week so we got to have her come stay with us for a couple days.  It sure was fun having a little girl around!  We love our Lucy!

I got to dress her and paint her toes.

It was a little crazy at times.

The boys wanted to see what this headband thing was all about.

Kisses from Lucy

Later in the week we all went to the Zoo.  And not on purpose...all the grand kids ended up wearing red.

Father's Day

These boys sure do have a Super Dad!

Visiting Rem's Dad.

And my Dad.

We made this with all the grand kids hand prints for him to put in his office.  He loved it!

Silly boys :)  Paxton sure does love his Grandpa!

We are so lucky to have these great men in our lives, we love them all!

Erika & Ben's Wedding

So excited for my baby sister!  She made such a beautiful bride.  And it was a perfect day!

I was horrible and didn't take very many pictures :(  regretting that!

Natural History Museum
One day I took the boys up to the museum during Rem's lunch break.  We had a lot of fun, but we need to go again for sure!  There was too much to see and an hour was not long enough.

Graham wasn't too sure about walking on the glass floor.  He even got down and crawled over the part where there are bars.  

1st year of Preschool GRADUATION

So proud of my cute boy and all he has learned this year!

He loves his teacher Mrs. Hammer!

The Ranch

We drove through Idaho City and found this sign, it was perfect!

Shooting guns, my grandma is awesome!

Lilo sure loves this place!  Chasing her frisbee is one of her favorite things to do.

Happy 31st birthday to this awesome guy!  What a great way to spend your birthday!

It was so fun to see these two playing together.  This is my cousins boy, Sam.

Graham fell asleep on just about every four-wheeling ride we went on.  In fact there were SEVERAL times that we struggled getting him down for naps or for bed so we just went for a ride.  Love snuggling this sweet little boy.

Blowing bubbles with Grandpa.

Love the warm pool!

This was probably my favorite thing this year... fishing with Paxton.

 

Yes, we caught 3 fish with his little spinner rod.  It was a lot of fun.  Sure love this kid!

Happy 4th of July!

The little town of Atlanta, ID was having a parade.  So we decided to join in.  We had music going, we were throwing out candy and otter pops, and even shooting off cardboard rockets that we made.  We made the loop around about 3 times.  There was a fire truck and maybe 3 other cars and 2 kids on bikes involved in the parade.  That's the old school house in behind us.  It's now used as the town library.

Tried getting a picture of my boys in their red & blue, it ended in tears very quickly.  So this was the best I got.

Sparklers!  We were trying to spell 4JULY*

Inside the old school house.  We found this tiny pair of glasses and put them on Graham and he left them on for the longest time, it was adorable.

One of our traditions is to bring a ton of glow sticks and play games with them late at night in the pool.

We sure love the Ranch!  Can't wait for next year!
