Walking to Grandma's House

Really and truly when our new house is finished this is what we will miss most ... the boys LOVE to walk to Grandma and Grandpa's house ... and to Dad's office. They just have to pass four houses and they are there. They are just at the top of the street! Could it be any better?

Camping

We headed from Logan to Granite, near Jackson Hole. We had lots of fun on the 4-wheeler, roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, fishing, swimming and relaxing. We did joke that we should have just parked the trailer in one of our yards and just let the boys play. They spent a lot of time in the 4-wheeler trailer pretending it was their pirate ship, submarine, etc. Zoe spent a lot of time playing there since she is just at that really difficult age to take camping. It was hard to just let her play on the ground since the grass and weeds were as tall as Ty but we managed and had fun.

On Monday we went to the hot springs and swam. The kids had a blast. On the way back to camp we stopped at the waterfall. It was so beautiful this year. The water is so high and fast. I even got a picture with our whole family ... doesn't happen often.

These cousins had a fun time playing together ... and fighting but what are cousins for? They all still had a great time!

Logan Temple

Bryce's brother Jamie and his wife were sealed in the Logan Temple. It was a nice day and a very great reason to spend time with all the family. Every time I go to Logan I remember just how much I loved going to school there. I hope our kids go there because I would love to go and visit! Bryce and I both have such great memories of life there.

Tyler is desperately trying to follow the instruction he got to give Pax a hug for a picture. Paxton is desperately trying to be in a picture or get a hug.

Happy 4th of July!

I sure love my little girl! She has been hilarious lately. He scrunchy face means lots of different things. Here she is not liking that grass on her legs. She also does it to be funny when we're trying to get her to show her tooth. She make that face when she's happy too.

Here's our hill billy! She's got three teeth that all came in one week and then nothing. Her other front tooth is starting to come through but it sure needs to hurry up!

We were getting ready to go camping and Pax wanted to clean his 4-wheeler up for the trip! He worked on it for an hour and did a great job!

Fun Summer Day!

So we just needed a fun day! So I told the kids if they would run a few errands with me that morning when we got home we'd set up the slip and slide. Pax was the only one to actually slide through the sharks mouth. Tyler was the shark mouth holder. He would just run up the the mouth and then go around.

The shark sprays water out of his mouth and he had fun aiming it all around. Zoe is watching him and making her scrunchy face. She probably knows not to trust him and that the water will be coming her way shortly ... it did!

We decided to dry off and have some otter pops. Definitely a summer favorite around here. We even let Zoe have one since I didn't care if she made a huge mess.

Our other favorite thing this summer is jumping with the water spraying under the tramp. Ty turned the sharks mouth up and they had a great time getting wet!
