Some Fun Summer Traditions

So I am finally getting around to updating again and so I'll just give some of our highlights from the last little while.

Kev took both the boys to Fathers and Sons this year and they couldn't have been more excited. I think the one of their favorite parts was that I was staying home. Everytime we brought it up, one of them would say, "And you stay home, huh Mom?" They still mention it when we talk about it. That's alright, I'm good with them loving their Dad.

Kev said they would walk around and Jordo would have to stop and fish in every little puddle. And there were a lot since it was a very rainy weekend.

They loved the dirt, sticks, fire and being outdoors. It poured rain all night with loud thunder and lots of lightning. Kev said they slept great through it all and he, with a cot that didn't fit in our tent, didn't sleep at all. He was a good sport and made it a great memory for our boys.

We also went to the Summerfest Parade and had a great time. The rain stopped for the parade, started right after and stopped again for fireworks. Talk about great timing! The boys are the perfect age for parades and this one is not too long and not too hot.

Ty caught a shirt and insisted on sporting his new prize. Little big, but great for P.J.s

Jordo was a great spectator. He clapped with the music, waved to all the people and yelled for candy. Parades aren't really my thing, but watching my boys have such a great time makes them really worth it.

Delayed Memorial Day

So since we had so much fun on Memorial Day I wanted to be sure to post even though it is a bit overdue. We headed up to Logan to spend the day with Kev's sister, Jenny, and the whole family. The day started with the guys going golfing and me prying Ty away since he thought this was his chance to go 'big golfing' with Daddy. It was so sad, but golfing would have been a bit tricky with him tagging along. The ladies and kids headed back to the house to let the kids burn some energy and play, since we always want more cousin play time.

Estee is definitely the kids' favorite and she was so great to read them books and play with them all morning. We're glad you and T could make is Es, and not just to watch the little people.

Across the street from their house is this huge field. The kids loved running and riding bikes all through it. They've never had so much freedom.

The would just keep going and we would just keep counting little heads to make sure they were all there. They are so used to having a confined place to play, that this huge space was more than they knew what to do with.

Then we headed up the canyon for a BBQ. It had this great park with a classic merry-go-round. I loved these as a kid and it was fun to see the kids playing on it.

Ty was getting as dirty as any little boy would in a canyon with a park and river and a stream. He had a lot of fun and got as close to the water as we would let him, and sometimes closer. The river was moving pretty fast, so that made me a bit nervous, but we were never far away.

Jordo just loved to 'fish'. He would find the perfect stick and put it in the stream and go fishing. Our boys were so dirty by the end of the day. I think they were in heaven.

Some more canyon fun. Thanks Jen and Jake for having us for the day. The kids had a blast and we had a great time too!
