Happy Father's Day!

Me and the kids had so much fun making Father's Day a special day for Jeremy. He truly is a WONDERFUL, AMAZING, PATIENT, LOVING, KIND, SILLY, GOOFY Father! We are so lucky to have him!!

The kids in primary learned "The Family is of God" to sing to the Dad's. They did so good! Even Hadley learned lots of the son! So cute! I love this video because you totally see them acting like typical siblings. So funny.

We also went and visited Jeremy's Dad and my Dad. Sadly, I didn't take any pictures! I am so lucky to have the Dad I do! He is an amazing man who is so unselfish. He taught me to love the gospel, to serve others, and that it was ok if I didn't get straight A's! I really feel so lucky to have been blessed with the world greatest Mom and Dad.

It was a wonderful Father's day!

Strawberry Days!

It was a CRAZY week last week, but oh so much fun. It was our town's 90th celebration of Strawberry Days!

We began the festivities on Tuesday night with a concert in the park! (BEAUTIFUL Mountains as the backdrop)

At the concert they hand out strawberry's and cream for FREE!

The even handed out fun Frisbee's to the kids!

The kids mostly just enjoyed dancing the whole time! They loved it!

On Wednesday...

We met my Mom and my nephews downtown for a fun day at Discovery Gateway. They have a new exhibit called PLAY that was super fun for the kids.

Mason is the hardest worker, whether at DG or at home. He loves to work

Hadley LOVES the water table and would stay there all day if we would let her. She also loved the new PLAY dance section!

Boston loves anything Logan and Mason are doing. He especially enjoyed the giant domino's!

Logan would stay in the construction zone the whole time... but enjoys everything else too! What a super fun time we had, then it was off to our Strawberry Days Children's Parade!

The kids LOVED the parade. They were waving at anyone who was watching and especially loved the Popsicle at the end!

On Thursday...

We had our annual block party! It is always so much fun for EVERYONE! Hadley of course loved the candy walk, and the dancing. Boston on the other hand was to busy being social. It was hard for me to just let him run around and play with his friends. Past years he wanted to dance with us.... not this year. He was to busy playing tag and other games with his buddies. Luckily Hadley still wanted to dance with us!

Look at her moves!!

On Friday...

We enjoyed Huck Finn Day! Such a fun day that the city gives the kids all for free.

The kids LOVED the pony rides

and all the many many many games!

They especially loved the donut walk! YUM! We were there for 3 hours! Went home and took a nap...

Then went over to a friends for some slip and slide fun!!

Boston and Hadley are so lucky to have so many cute and fun friends!

That night we went to the Rodeo!! It was SO MUCH FUN! We had a blast.

I loved when they stuck money on a couple of cows and then let all the kids chase the cows, I loved the barrel racing, the horse bucking, and of course the bull riding. It brought back lots of memories of watching my cousin's Rodeo in Idaho!

Saturday we finished off Strawberry Days Festivities with the parade! It was so crazy packed so the kids watched most the parade like this. Boston was happy, don't let his face fool you...

What a fun Strawberry Days Week!

17 New Posts

Well in the last week I have added 17 new posts. I have to keep updated for my sake. You might want to take the time to scroll through to see highlights like Jeremy holding a huge snake, Boston's first T-ball game, Garner family pictures, Boston and Hadley's birthday parties, our first REAL game and oh so much more! I think I need to stop having so much fun. It's exhausting.

Hadley's Big Girl Bed!

I was convinved that Hadley would be in her crib until she was 3, but last Saturday we decided to make the big move. I just couldn't handle her legs and arms hanging out/getting stuck in the bars any longer.
Hadley was so excited about her new bed she wouldn't even let me read books to her. She said, "No, sing songs in new bed." She loves it, and has done so awesome at going to sleep and taking most of her naps! Holy cow she is growing up to fast! No crib needed in this house!

Boston's Birthday Party

The Invite...

We began the party by making flying saucers.

The kids had lots of fun with these, and they really did fly pretty well. After that, we ate some Rocket Hot Dogs. Hot dogs with doritos for fins, and cheese for the top! (Sorry no pictures)

Then we did the highlight of the party. We shot off pop bottle rockets!! So fun!! Here is boston filling his up...

Waiting in Line...

Getting ready for launch...

WHOOSH! There it goes!

Then we ate some yummy cake! It turned out pretty cute... would do a few things different if I did it again.

Boston blowing out his candles! 4 big ones!!

Then he even got to open some very nice gifts, which he has spent all of his time enjoying.

Thanks to everyone who came all the way down south to the party!!

Boston's 4th Birthday

Boston woke me up, and I asked him "What day is it?" He replied with the biggest smile ever "My Birthday!"

Of course we started out the day with birthday pancakes!

Then he insisted that we needed to go bowling. So bowling we did. Which of course I loved, and the kids did too!

Then we met my Mom, Logan, and Mason at Wheeler farm for an afternoon of fun... we began with a picnic, and soon the cold, wind, rain was to much to handle so we escaped and went to

McDonald's. The kids had a blast, and who could complain about eating an Ice Cream Sundae and a cupcake??

We went home to open presents! He was so cute opening each gift. He would get SO EXCITED about each one.

Boston with his 2 favorite presents. His new bike, and his race car driver dress-up. So fun.

We grabbed a quick dinner and let him blow, I mean spit out a candle on a cupcake. True 4 year old boy fashion I suppose. Then we headed off to his 2nd baseball game, which couldn't have been a better present for Boston. It was a fabulous birthday!!

I know I am SUPER behind on blogging, but I could let the day go by without wishing my little man a Happy Birthday!

P.S. I just took these pictures at the park yesterday, because I procrastinated getting someone else to take his pictures... so that is why they aren't the best!

The many faces of Boston.
