Summer Fun......

We went to the fountain in town with our friends... the kids had a blast!!





swimming lessons.....
the boys had swimming lessons for a couple of weeks!
They just loved being in the water! of course they are doing flips and dives off the diving board...
They keep me on my toes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!

pine valley....

we decided in the heat of the moment to head up to Pine Valley and have some fun family time to celebrate daddy's birthday! we didnt go home first...so we werent really prepared...but you never really are right? The kids of course, just wanted to jump in the river...so here they are....one in shorts, and the other in some sweet spiderman boxers!! We all had a blast!
(the pictures are from my cell phone.....sorry)

Happy 4th of July!!!!

we had a pretty busy day....we started off with breakfast with grandma & grandpa! Then we headed over for the big 4th of July celebration at the park! After being there for a few hours we headed home, played hard, then had a BBQ. Afterwards off to our cousins for rootbeer floats and a firework show!! To top the night off we went and watched the fireworks in town!!
(warning: lots of pictures!.....i cant help it!)

how does your garden grow....?

My boys LOVE having the garden.....a little too much!! Now that things are starting to grow fairly big, its not so much an issue. But, they couldnt wait...so everyday we would have miniture carrots. They wanted to pick everything! As you can see, they have no problem eating everything they pick! So I probably shouldnt complain, right?

we headed for the mountains....

we built a fire, cooked our dinner, and the kids had a bath in the river !!

MAY UPDATE!

we had a pretty busy sunday in May with a homecoming and two farewells! My 'other' parents and my 'other' little brother had a combined farewell! Im so excited for them, but I am going to miss them like crazy!!!

He's Home!!
Andrew came home from his mission (the end of may) !! The kids made signs the night before...and were super excited to see him! It was our lil princess's first time meeting her uncle too! The week was full of activities...swimming, snow canyon, lots & lots of family, lots of eating, lots of games and not to mention a serious night of playing rockband!
