Fun bus ride + school lunch + recess + NO sleeping in = 1st grade...

summer days.....

summer time has passed so quickly and now we only have a few more weeks before school starts.....it seems so crazy to me, but time must go on..........

we have been having some very busy fun lately, so atleast we can say that we had a great summer.

Trip to Utah- eating at the Myan
swimming at cowabunga bay in Draper ut.( just opened this summer)-It's a huge water park and tons of fun!!!!

Lagoon-as always-a blast!!!!

something we have never been to before, the aquarium......i was very impressed with it. there were lots of different things including sharks and stingrays that we all were able to feel....so cool!

Egin Lakes- i haven't been there for years and so we tried it one day and i'm going to have to keep taking my kids...they loved it....shallow enough they could go out quite a ways and catch lots of yucky stuff(polywogs, leaches, and who knows)

swimming in our ditch by our house....just thought it would be a nice little way to cool the kids down and keep them entertained for a minute!!!Rigby Lake-Sure is a lot different than last year. starting this year you have to pay $5 dollors to swim there, but i guess thats alright cause they've put a lot of work into it....its alot cleaner and you can even rent paddle boats....
boating, cliff jumping, and having fun!!!

My Little Bro....

My little Brother Clint took off this morning for the Airforce.... I think that this will be good for him to be on his own for a while and to get out there to experience the world in a whole new view....We are very proud proud of him and will miss him while he is gone. Good luck Clint!!!

4th of July

Parade!!!! Candy!!!!! Floats!!!! Boating at blacktail....Hot!!! and rainy.... But fun!!!

Fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zoo!!!

7/03

My mom and Hayley didn't have to work on Friday so we decided to make the most of it and take the kids to the zoo!!! alot of fun!!!

Nicks little sidekick!!!

Nick and Ellyn!!!

When i'm not looking!!!

I went to shower the other morning leaving Grant in his swing and came out to find him in a completely different location, with this gorgeous necklace on and some pop spilled down the front of him......gotta love kids!

pet bird!!!!

The other day we saw this little bird running across the yard so Nick thought it would be fun to catch it and let the kids pet it....not a bad idea, Nat and Ellyn sure thought it was cool!!!

Natalie's T Ball

Natalie has just finished her season of T ball. It was so fun to watch her out there playing. I was surprised she actually liked it, but i think the main reason she liked it was because she was the only girl on the team!!! HA HA

What have I become???

I can't believe I let my little boy use Pink blankets, but I guess that comes with having 4 kids. Each kid you get more relaxed........and a little less fussy!!!

FYI=i don't do this always....just when Elynns blankets are laying around and i can't find any of his blankets.
