Father son camp out....

Last weekend was our wards father son camp out. Richard decided that since he is in the elders quorum presidency now he better take the boys and go. He's not a camper! Luckily where they went it was more like glamping then camping! 

They had a great time playing on a super fun swing set, playing with all the ward kids and especially going canoeing!!!!

Trey loved it!!! I think jack was a little nervous being in the boat! They had so much fun hanging with dad and having man time!!!

A decade....

Can you believe it's been ten years! I know I can't! Here we were ten years ago....

And here we are now! We've done so much in this time and I can't wait to see where life takes us! Love this man more and more everyday! Here's to the rest of forever together!!!!

Seven....

Can you believe it's been seven years since trey baby came into this world? I surely can't! I can't believe that I'm even old enough to have a seven year old!!! 

For treys birthday he requested a day at the pool! We had to go three times! He had it all scheduled out! Who could complain...I wish I could spend my birthday sunnin' poolside! We hit up the pool at 8:30 in the morning and stayed til the water aerobic ladies kicked us out! 

Then we got ready for the day and headed to lunch! I can't believe how grown up he looks he's going to be taller then me before I know it!

He picked Freddy's for lunch! We heard about it from some friends and it was delicious!!! After lunch you guessed it we played at the pool! It was pretty much the best day ever!

For dinner trey wanted to go to the Harley Davidson restaurant! He loves it! Seeing all the motorcycles hanging around was just amazing to him! It was so great!

We didn't forget about the cake either! We brought this thing all the way from Logan and drove it all the way back! Trey is really into hot wheels and racing so it was perfect for him! We've been enjoying ever since!

You might be wondering what he got for his birthday! He got some wrestlers of course but his favorite gift was jinga! Totally not weird! He loves it and we play everyday! So far our highest level it 31!He just can't get enough of it! Happy birthday trey baby! We love you so much and we are so happy you are apart of this crazy family of ours!!!

Vegas baby....

Oh Vegas! We have been looking forward to this little summer get away for months! We were so excited when the day finally came! We got up early, richard headed to work and me and the kids got everything ready to go and we were out the door by 9:00am! We thought we were doing great....

That was until we had to make a million pee stops! Ok it was only three but it felt like we were stopping way to often especially since it was for the same kid every time. Apparently we haven't trained him well enough. 

But we made it! It was hot I tell ya! I thought it was hot in Logan but it was nothing compared to Vegas! But we love it!

The kids couldn't wait to hit the pool so we did just that, multiple times a day everyday! It was so nice to soak up the sun and cool off in the pool! We were in love and I have an amazing tan to prove it!

We did some fantastic school shopping! Jack was so excited because it was his first year! He got some cool new kicks for school he can't wait to show them off!

Richard and myself even got to sneak away for a relaxing date! As far as dates go, this was amazing! We got pedicures and went to dinner! It was fantastic!!!

One night we decided to venture to the strip we haven't really done this with the kids so we thought it would be fun! Parts were fun but the part where the porno people tried to hand my little jack and naked lady picture were not!!!

We saw the pirate show! Jack was in heaven! He loves pirates that kid and trey was loving it right along with him. Harper on the other hand hated every second of that thing! She screamed she cried! We are in a full fledge terrible two nightmare right now!

Next we hit up the volcano at the mirage! We got right up by the fence because we didn't want to have eyebrows anymore and it didn't disappoint! The fire made jack nervous, Harper screamed and treys mind was blown! It was great! It made the heat of Vegas seem like a warm tropical breeze! We loved it!!!! 

We had the best time!! We love visiting Vegas and its always nice to go and have  quality time with the family!!!

The injury...

Trey was being a real diva yesterday. He just was in a funk about everything. So when I asked him to go clean his room it was just about the end of the world. He decided to be a real drama queen. He went to fall on the ground for a little pouting session but instead went face first into the edge of laundry basket that happened to be sitting there! He screamed and cried and bled everywhere!!!

When we finally got it cleaned up this is what it looked like! He has sliced that piece of skin that holds together your lip and gum. He also got a pretty good fat lip and talking too about having a better attitude! Thankfully this is going to heal on its own with no medical intervention. It's already looking and million times better! Hopefully he learned his lesson and that we won't be having any other injuries this summer!

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!!!
