Handcart days

We had a great time in Bountiful for their Handcart Days! The kids had fun at the carnival, getting their faces painted (they kept it on for 2 days), going to the parade and playing with all their cousins at my Aunt Marla's house while we ate yummy food!! It was a fun day!

This is the Place!

Haddie got picked by Radio disney to do a trivia contest.....and won 4 tickets to the Days of 47 Rodeo!!! GO Haddie!

Allie doing some afternoon chores...... Probably concocting her time machine theory!

We went to the This is the Place Heritage Park today...it was FREE and had tons of fun activities for the kids!! It was a lot of fun and the kids had fun learning about the pioneers and what kinds of things the pioneer children had to do...afterwards at dinner Allie said "if I could make a time machine I would go back to the pioneer days and teach them how to make all the modern stuff and then come back to my house". I think Allie was definitely born in the right time period, don't you? We are all really lucky and blessed for all the sacrifices that the Pioneers did for us!! It is so fun to live in this state and to celebrate this time of the year!!

I heard a noise.....

I was sitting inside tonight and heard some rumblings......there is lots of advantages to living right next to thanksgiving point.... especially this time of the year!!! This is the 3rd one this month and the best one so far! Allie was the only one left awake and came down to watch with us and kept saying what is so special about today mom?

Our day at Lagoon

We headed down to Lagoon on July 7 thanks to my brother Tyler!! He so graciously gives us his tickets that he gets from the yearly firefighters day since he and Wendy get season passes!! Lucky us!! My awesome mother in law took Noah for us so the 4 of us could enjoy it a little better. Allie turned out to be more of a daredevil than last year with the Wild mouse and the White Roller Coaster and WICKED topping her list as her favs. Hadlee proved to be more on the cautious side, with PUFF, and Tidal Wave topping her list. Although she took Tidal wave off when we rode on the back of the ride the last time, Poor girl!! Needless to say we had fun with Tyler, Wendy, Jordyn and Peyton at Lagoon!!

Happy 4th of July!!

Hope you all had a happy fourth!! As you can see we had a great holiday filled with swimming, water balloons, Popsicles, sparklers, and the night ended with a spectacular fireworks show right in our front yard!! What more could we ask for!!

Cute dancing Noah

My friend and I took the kids to Bounce U the other day and my camera (or maybe it was the operator)couldn't capture any of the fast bodies flying down the slides but I did get this cute video of Noah and Elsa dancing to who else? Hannah Montana!!

Summer Fun!

Ready set..........

GOOOOO!!!!!!

Papa said,
"Do we get wet"?

Yes!! you get really wet!!

It's hard to believe that our summer is more than half way over....I hate to even think about the idea of my kids going back to school! I have loved having them home with me! We have had alot of fun this summer with alot of swimming in the neighboorhood pool, summer movie club with weekly movies, and fun activities including boondocks and boating with Papa Paxman who loves to spoil his grandkids!! Hope you all are having a fun summer as well!!
