Swim, Soccer, Sleeping, and Snow


The kids just finished up their 2 weeks of swim lessons! 

The loved it so much!  I think they learned a thing or two as well! 

We celebrated finishing swimming lessons with donuts! 

Some how Jeremy and I got roped into being Soccer Coach's.  We know nothing about soccer... but we are learning!  Hadley was so stinkin' adorable at her 1st game!

On Sunday morning this is where I found my 3 kiddos.  It was a priceless moment. 

Yesterday Hadley was ready for the snow!  Oh she makes me laugh every single day! 

Pioneer Day!

We had such a fun Pioneer Day this year!

Although we were late, we enjoyed the Bountiful Handcart Days Parade from Amazing seats my Mom reserved!  A guy in the parade came and handed Hadley a cute little teddy bear... she is such a parade charmer.  Seriously.   

Then we headed up for the fireworks show!  My Mom had once again reserved an AMAZING spot to watch the fireworks!  They were soooo awesome!  All the kids did so awesome, and enjoyed them with little to no fears!

So much fun! 

We slept at my folks that night and my Mom made us some delicious festive waffles!!  YUM!

Then Jeremy and and I took Boston golfing for his 1st time!  We all had so much fun!  Boston said "This is a great way to start our day!  We should do this more often!"  He did really well for his 1st time! 

While we were gone these 3 cuties did a little swimming and of course had a popsicle after! 

This happy guy loves to swing.  I think he would be happy to swing all day! 

When we got back from golfing all the kids enjoyed swimming... for like HOURS! 

So stinkin' fun! 

Then my parents cooked a delicious dutch oven dinner!  It was SO GOOD!

What a super fun day enjoying family and being so grateful for our ancestors!

My Neighbor is Famous!

My Neighbor just found out that she is pregnant with her 5th boy... they sent out this picture to reveal the gender!  I thought it was funny, but I never would have guess it would go viral!  They posted it on Reddit, and within a couple days it had over 4,000 comments!  It has been on the Huffington Post, ABC, Fox, KSL, and so many more!  There couldn't be a better mom out there for 5 little boys!

My 27th Armatage Family Reunion

Since the day I was born I have spent every summer attending my Mom's Armatage Family Reunion!  My mom and I can't think of one reunion that we've missed!

This year it was located in Big Elk Creek Campground which is right by Palisade's Reservoir in Idaho!  It was sooooo beautiful!  This is where we took Boston on his 1st camping trip, and this was Cambridge's 1st camping trip! 

We hurried and took a picture before we got all dirty!

We set up our tent... the kids had a little dance party in the tent... 

Beside's seeing all of my wonderful family, the next best part of these reunions is the food!  Seriously, you won't find better food in any restaurant in the world!   I think Oriental Night was my favorite!  During Dinner, I locked the keys into our van... with almost all of our stuff locked up in it.  Luckily my brother had a connection and a lock smith was able to come and save our trip!  :)

The kids did AWESOME sleeping in the tent!  So precious! 

Boston's favorite thing was riding his bike along side his buddy Peyton!  Hadley enjoyed it too!  One of my favorite moments was seeing her push Audriana through some touch rocks...   

Cambridge loved being outside all day long.  He also learned some new tricks with his tongue!  Seriously, you have to hear it and see it.  His little tongue goes 100 miles an hour!  So funny!~ 

One day I did a scavenger hunt with the kiddos! 

They loved it! 

Boys Vs. Girls! 

Jeremy and the kiddos played in the creek! 

Do you see how beautiful it is?? 

There is lots of sittin' and chattin' and eatin' 

One morning our little family was up and ready for a hike by 6:30am!   

We headed up the road to a beautiful trail! 

It had lots of fun little "waterfalls" 

Jeremy, Cambridge, and I left to go to Jackson and Boston and Hadley stayed back at camp for more cousin time!  They made fun little visors with Grandma! 

They also went on another hike!  I decided I wanted to go back to camp to enjoy being with family, so we got a square ice cream cone and headed back to camp!

We painted rocks! 
The kids seriously couldn't get enough of their cousins!

I know my face is goofy, but I had to share this picture because of Cambridge!  He LOVED being in the backpack!  I think I might start doing household chores, or cooking dinner with him just like this! 
One of the most anticipated parts of the reunion is Grandma's store!  Here are all the kids with their money ready to go shopping!

So excited with their purchases!
Flashlights on, ready for the night! 
Nothing better then a campfire, and my Dad and Uncle Gene roasting some little smokies!

Another fun fun fun reunion!  I am seriously so blessed with the best family in the world!
