Playing dress up

The kids had so much fun playing dress up all morning. They worked really hard all week to earn this big prize. Our Cousin Lindee was so sweet to hand down all of her girls dance outfits to my kids so they could play dress up with them. (Thanks Lindee! They LOVE them!) We kept it a secret from the kids. We told them if they worked really hard to help keep the house picked up and treated each other nice we would give them a big see prize. They were soooo excited to see that their big prize was dress up.

Cute Carly!

first day of school

School started today for our kids~ it was a great day at our house. As much fun as we had during the summer up in the canyon, at lagoon, the park, family reunions, stadium of fire and all the great things we were able to do, the kids were so ready for school to start and so was I. Ammon was especially ready for school. He missed the deadline for Kindergarten last year by 2 months. All of his friends started school last year, He has been so anxious to go to school and be with his friends. I know he will have a great year.

4th of July Stadium of Fire

The 4th of July is one of my all time favorite holidays!! I love being out side enjoying nature and watching the fireworks with all our family. Every year we travel to the Provo Canyon and have a picnic and play in the river. At night we enjoy sitting out on blankets outside of the BYU stadium. We listen to the performers of the Stadium of fire and watch it all on the big screen. Afterwards we watch the amazing firework show. Shane, Carly and I up Provo Canyon

Girls night out

Kenley wanted to invite her friend Andrea over to "play" Mary Kay. A make up and nail painting party. Kenley made up an invitation, planned the agenda, and prepared the dessert (Popsicles) She is going to make a great Mary Kay Consultant someday.

Father/son camp out

Our ward had a father, son camp out at our stake camp sight in Morgan. Too bad Shane didn't get a picture of him with Ammon. I would have enjoyed it. Shane said that Ammon spent most his time there playing in the fire. That sound about right. I'm so glad they were able to have some bonding time together. The girls and I took advantage of the boys being gone and had a girls night out. We painted finger nails, ate pizza, watched a movie, and had a sleepover in the TV room. It was a lot of fun for everyone.



Playing in the fire, of course!

Ammon and his buddy Grant.

Just having fun!

Ammon was so excited that he got to use "his" sleeping bag. He didn't even care that there was a big butterfly on the front of the bag. Heck, It's red right!!

Just being cute! It's so beautiful there.

Fun at Lagoon

Mekelle rode the Colossus for the first time today. She said it was scary but fun. She can't wait to go back and try the Wicked. That's my girl!


Fun on the swings!

We were drenched from head to toe, after a exciting ride on the rattle snake rapids.

The kids tidal wave was fun for Carly but Kelle, Kenley, and Ammon prefer the real thing.

Carly was finally big enough to ride the rides, she had so much fun.

A favorite with my kids. They always want to ride the lady bug bop ride first.
