Some beach....

Going to bear lake has been our favorite pass time this summer! We really can't get enough of it! Wouldn't it be nice to just wake up on the beach every morning! To bad there's this thing called a job and responsibility! It was nice to get away for a day though...

We made sandcastles with the kids! Played non stop in the water and soaked up the sun!

Me and richard couldn't not take our traditional lake picture! Thanks to trey the best photographer out there!

We had so much fun beach bummin' for a day! Until next time!

'Merica......

According to trey this July 4th was the best one ever!!!! I must say it was pretty great! We had the best time! The kids had so much fun!

Harper did a little photo shoot the day before because she was just looking to adorable not to! She carried this flag around all morning so why not!

The night of the 3rd we headed to our traditional spot for the Logan fireworks! They were great! The kids had tons of fun with glow sticks and just playing around! Harper surprisingly stayed awake through the whole firework show and even made it home before she passed out!

Earlier that day we stopped to see he minions at the theatre! Harper loves playing with them but jack quickly informed me that they were not real and that vector was not holding a real freeze gun! He still liked then though. It was great for the kids because as soon as the minions discover that they belonged to richard they got paid a lot of attention to! Harper loved all the minion love!

On the 4th we had our traditional kaboom of doom BBQ with our friends! Even mark made it up to hang out with us! It was so fun to have the whole crew together again! 

We planned to do fire works but as usual we were on firework restriction in our area! That's what we get for living so close to the mountain! We did sparklers and pop it's and that was good enough for the kids! Harper even had her first sparkler experience and sort of loved it...for about a second long enough to get a picture! We had such a great time celebrating the fourth! We are truly proud to be Americans and wish we could celebrate like this everyday!!!

Mini back patio makeover....

A few months ago we decides we wanted to give a mini makeover to our back patio area! We have a great big area to hang out back there but in the summer it gets so hot!!! After looking on Pinterest for a awhile I came across a pretty inexpensive outdoor curtain idea! I hung small curtain rods up and used plain old canvas drop clothes for the curtains! Sadly I don't have a picture of them but I'm sure you get the idea! That gave us the shade we desperately needed back here! After that we needed some color! So goodbye ugly beige chairs and hello color!

Jack picked most of the colors with a little pink thrown in from Harper! We just used plastic spray paint and now our chairs are looking brand new and super fun!!! 

Next for the kids we got a pool! Not anything crazy but it's colorful and the kids pretty much spend all day in it! 

Our next project in the most exciting! I saw this on Pinterest to and when I showed richard we decided we had to do it! It's a pallet sofa bed! We collected pallets over a matter of weeks and then we let the project sit for a long time. We couldn't decided what to do for the cushion part of it so we debated. We thought we would do foam but do you know how much that stuff costs? Who knew foam camping pads where so expensive? Then we thought air mattress. But couldn't decide if it would just end up popping or not. After going back and forth for weeks we finally chose the air mattress! It was a great decision! It's so comfy and prefect for lounging out in the backyard and not to mention super inexpensive. We even brought a fan back there so we can have a nice cool breeze when the curtains are closed! Trey is already planning his camp outs  back there and me and richard are planning movie nights! It's so nice to have another area of the house to go hang out in!

Boy hair.....

At church on Sunday trey and jack spotted jacks friend with a pretty cool Mohawk!!! They decided right then and there that they were going to get one too! So the next day we broke out the clippers and started shaving heads! I decided the take it one step further. They usually like to put steps in their hair but I had an even better idea! My dad gave them the coolest airbrush tattoo kit for Christmas and I thought it would work awesome for hair designs for these two! They both wanted flames! It turned out great and the best part is it washes right out in the shower! They were so excited today to put lightening bolts in their heads and I'm sure it's going to be something new everyday! Here's to having awesome summer hair!!!!!

The bees.....

On Thursday night we had the wonderful opportunity to head to the bees game for employee appreciation night for Larry h. Miller company! This folks is one of the many great perks of working for this fine establishment! It was fantastic! We got to do so much fun stuff. They gave us a wonderful picnic dinner. They had hamburgers, hotdogs and fantastic pulled pork sandwiches! 

The boys got their faces painted, Harper was a little nervous so they did her arm! She loved it she kept saying, "look at m, patoo!" 

We waited in the longest line ever for a balloon animal from the balloon granny! It was well worth it for them though! Jack got a sword, trey a dog and Harper a butterfly to match her arm painting!

The boys met bumble and that was all before the game even started! When we finally got up in our seats we dug into the giant bag of treats that they gave every single one of us at the gate! It was such a great night and to make it even better the bees won!!!!

After the game we all got to go out on the field and the kids got to run the bases! Wish I could have gotten better pictures of it but there was so many people! We had such a great time and are we feel so lucky to work for such a great company!!!! 

Training wheel free....

It's hard to believe, but Jacky Bair is no longer a training wheel kid! On a whim I said let's take off those training wheels. After about an hour of running up and down the street this kid is riding like a pro! I hate seeing him grow up but seeing the excitement on his face is well worth it! So proud of this little guy and he's pretty proud of himself that he learned faster the Trey ;) way to go Jacky Bair!!!

Lets go to the beach, beach....

We made plans a few weeks ago to head to bear lake! We picked Sunday, packed up the car and off we went! We met up with friends and had a blast! 

Me and richard were loving soaking up the sun!

The kids couldn't get enough of the water! Jack was pretty strong willed about not wanting to go but he quickly changed his mind the second we got there! All three of them played in the water the whole time we were there! It was nice and shallow so we didn't have to worry about anyone drowning!

Me and Harper spent some time sunnin' together!

The boys and dad spent sometime together  building a sand island volcano thing! Which trey later used as a tub for himself. We had so much fun and the best part if the trip I didn't get a picture of because it involved me chasing a butt naked Harper down the beach! She's a streaker! We had lots of fun and one of us even came home with a little souvenir that will help us remember the trip for a few days...

Poor Richard and his feet! But we had so much fun and we really wish we could come back every Sunday ;)
