Boating Adventures!!

Noah "driving" the boat with Papa

This is the LIFE!!

Chilling with daddy

Kevins dad bought a boat this summer and the girls have LOVED it!! We have been up to Jordanelle a bunch of times this summer and this time we remembered the camera!! Even Noah loves Papas boat!! Anyways it has been a fun summer on the boat with fun memories for our family!!

RODEO!!

We went to the Days of 47 Rodeo on July 24th and it was alot of fun! It was my first experience at a rodeo, looks painful, the kids all loved it, Noah kept saying "Horsies! Horsies"! Nobody ended up riding a bull for 8 seconds, but it was fun watching them try!! All I gotta say is, you gotta be really CRAZY to want to ride those things! Notice the faded butterfly and snake on the girls faces, they insisted on keeping them on for the rodeo!

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!!
