Happy July 4th! We LOVE the USA!

We had a great day with our kids and 2 nephews. We hung out at home and went to the pool. We watched world cup soccer and ate Kong cones. We went to Matt and Jamie’s for a delicious BBQ and Ben made watermelon slushies. We played a game of 7 wonders while the kids played and then we went to the school to see the city fireworks. We met up with Pete and Amanda’s family there and just enjoyed this beautiful and free country. Our kids actually Enjoyed the fireworks instead of crying and plugging ears so it was great.

On Saturday we did some recovery from a busy week. We took the kids to In and Out and they loved it. We also went to Toys R Us because Gma and Gpa sent a gift card for benji’s bday!

We woke up Sunday morning with 2 sick kids 🙁 so… we cancelled our family game night and had another relaxing evening at home with feverish kids all over me. We did introduce them to “Parent Trap” so that was fun.

Our Week with Carter

Carter got to spend the week with us while his family all went to different camps. He lives in CA so it was fun to get some time with just him. He and Benji and Packer played LOTS of Skylanders and King of Tokyo. They loved the pool and just hanging out. Carter wanted to treat everyone to Kong Cones so we hit Maceys twice.

We went to the PG pool twice. Packer LOVED the slide and Benji realized that he could do the diving board! Carter was a good influence to help them push themselves. We went again on Friday with Camden and they loved it. Cali was swimming pretty good without her life jacket and Ben took all of the kids on the slide so it was a success.

I guess Carter and Cam were camera Shy at the pool. But on Thursday we went down to the BYU Bean Museum and Dinosaur Museum. We checked out all the animals and then we got to go pick Cam up from Basketball Camp. Carter was not camera shy – he was the photo bomber 🙂

We picked Cam up from camp and headed home. That night there were lots of neighbors doing fireworks so we went out and laid on the grass and played with glow sticks until super late. On Friday we hung out at the house and went to the pool and got Kong Cones and had a Barbeque and watched fireworks at the school. Then I woke the boys up at 4am and we drove down to Provo to pick up the EFY boys and I dropped them off at the airport. It was nice to see my nephews and be able to help them out. Living in Utah brings these opportunities and I love it.

Thanks for the fun week CARTER and boys!

SUMMER hAs OfFiCiAlLy BeGuN

July 7, 2014 admin No Comments

Summer has officially begun at our house because Packer is done with Reading School!! I am excited. A – because he did really well and went up 4 reading levels in one month! and B – I don’t have to set my alarm anymore and wake kids up! … that’s what summer is all about right? sleep in and wake up when your body is ready to wake up.

Packer read 100 books during the month!

Millie is getting so big. She is all over the floor and I can’t keep up with the cleaning. She finds every “little” thing that gets left out and ignores the big things. And we will be adding her to the baby bath wall very soon!

Ben and Cali went to 7 peaks for dad night!!!

We have Zucchini from the garden! and it makes delicious bread!

The kids were riding their bikes quite a bit but now the heat wave is here so it has slowed down. We got Benji a BIG bike – it’s a mountain bike and a little too big but its been fun watching him learn to ride it. And Brewer is having a fun summer – Pluto came to play the other day, and Hersey and Pickles and Moki and the neighborhood dogs have all been over.

June 29th was a party day at our house. It was Benji’s official birthday! But first I got up at 1am to welcome Braden, Bryce, Camden, Carter and their friend Brady who flew in from Hollister. They all came out to go to EFY and Basketball camp while their parents and sister went to Girls Camp. First thing Sunday morning- Benji opened presents!

We all went to church and then family started coming over to hang out! Sean and Anthony came. Then Ryan decided to come at the last minute and surprise us all! Joel and Megan came and Brady and Monique. Then kevin and Liz stopped in for the night on their drive home from Liz’z family reunion! 20 kids and 11 adults!! Another Stay-cation!

We had more cake and ice cream for the birthday boy.

And we ended with a big cousin sleepover! I love when family comes over. I love that even though I didn’t settle in CA I still have lots of opportunities to see my family.
