July Updates

This year for the 4th we camped up Franklin Basin. The girls played with babies and had a beauty parlor. The boys played farm, rode bikes and made a fort. We had a scavenger hunt and a pinata.

NEW CAR! 7/12/2010

We did it. After driving the same car for 8 years we bought a new car. It is a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. It has leather seats and a DVD player. The kids absolutely love that it has a DVD player but hate our rule for it. Our rule is that they can only watch a movie if we are in the car for more than 1 hour.

Hyde Park Celebration! (7/16-7/17)

We had tons of fun at the Hyde Park celebration this year. There were fireworks, bouncy toys, food, a parade, and lots of games. The kids had a blast spending time with their cousins.

Mondays at the Park and Movies on Thursday

This year Alyson, MaryLynn, and I decided to take the kids to a different park in the valley every Monday. It has been so nice to get our of the house and do something fun with the kids. We pack a lunch and let the kids play. The kids love it.

For the past few years we have gone to the summer movies. This year our movie day is on Thursday. The kids get a booster to sit on, eat lots and lots of popcorn, and get to sit with their cousins. After the movie we visit Steve at work and take him our leftover popcorn. Sometimes we even stop and Sonics. What's better than lots of popcorn and a cranberry limeade to wash it down!?!

Father's Day

For Father's Day we made a picnic and went up the canyon. We stopped at Wood Camp and found a picnic area by the river. We had sandwiches, chips, jello, and pop. The kids threw sticks and rocks in the river and blew bubbles. Emma loved the trees and thought that she needed to try and eat them. We were having an awesome time until the camp host told us that we had to pay $7 to eat there and that we should have really been charged $10 because we were ther after 4 (new law for the State to make more money). Who would have guessed that you had to pay to eat a picnic. I hope Steve had a good Father's Day. I want to let Steve know how much we love him and appreciate all that he does for us.

Riley's Last Year of T-Ball

Riley had his last season of T-Ball and he was sooooo sad. Just Kidding. He was really happy because he wanted to play coaches pitch and not T-Ball. He did awesome this year. He hit better, ran faster, and didn't sit in the middle of the field during the game. He made lots of new friends had fun.

Water Party 06/25/2010

Steve's mom had a water party for all of the grandkids at her house. They had squirt guns, pencil shooters, swimming pool, and water slide. Emma loved the little pool even though it was FREEZING! The kids discovered how much fun it was to use a bucket for a pool. What a relaxing day for me!

Trophy Recital - May 24, 2010

Annie had a trophy dance recital for all of the dance girls and their families. Each group of girls preformed a dance that they learned during the year and then recieved trophies. I am so amazed by how well Ashlyn's group did. I thought they did just as good as the older girls, maybe even a little better. Annie had a photographer come and take all of the girls pictures and then did group photos.
