After all that swimming we came back to my parents for a delicious BBQ!  Fun fun day! 

Phone pics

Time to share some fun phone pictures!  For Father's day Jeremy got a little furniture moving dolley... the next day the kids put the laundry basket on top of it and took turns having rides!  So creative and fun! 

We went to the Library Teddy Bear Picnic! 

I found the cutest Milk from Costco... 

Isn't this what we all feel like after Fast Sunday Dinner?? 

Happy Independence Day!

We had such a fun Independence Day!

My parents joined us for a yummy pancake breakfast  

Then waited for the parade... with the rest of the state of Utah! 

They always insist of having a flag to wave during the parade...

The night before he prayed "Thank you we can celebrate our flag tomorrow, and our country too!" 

LOUD firetrucks! 

Cambridge loved the parade as long as he had Grandma's finger to hold... some of the noises made him a little nervous! 

What a big boy!  Celebrating 9 Months old! 

We took a rest at home then took my parents to a Utah County Tradition... JDawgs!  So yummy!

Then we all went to DISPICABLE ME 2!  I don't know if my Dad or the kids were more excited!  We all loved it!

That night we went over to our friends the Bruce's for some fun fireworks!!  

The kids had so much fun!! 

After that we were driving home and decided to stop at Hill Park and look over the valley.  Jeremy and the kids got on the roof of the van and we had an amazing firework show watching all the shows across the valley!  It was awesome! 

Camping for a Day

Heather and her Mom invited my Mom and I to join them for a Camping Trip!  Just for the day up Big Cottonwood Canyon.  It was so beautiful!!!

The kiddos painted rocks! 

Had fun squirting each other with creek water 

Cambridge had a good time just hanging out!  Such a happy guy! 

Played some games 

Lissy gave us all patriotic pedicures! 

We did boondoggle,

and made lizards with beads 

my kids were soooooo dirty! 

We ended the fun by roasting hot dogs, and eating smores!  YUMMY!
It was such a fun day and soooo relaxing!  Nothing better then being in the mountains!

Jordan's Baptism

My nephew Jordan was being baptized in Idaho Falls, so we decided to make a mini-trip out of it!   

Our first stop was lunch at Joy Luck in Bountiful to celebarte Boston and Jeremy's good grades!  Then we headed to Hill Air Force Base Museum!  It was FANTASTIC!

1st was a room filled with all different kinds of flight uniforms.  Awesome! 

Then we entered a giant room of airplanes.  Jeremy and I had both been here as kids, but had forgotten how cool it was! 

We found the Jolley Roger! 

We even found an SR-71!  Fastest plan ever!  So sweet! 

We also found the candy bomber! 

Then we finished our travel to Idaho Falls and stayed in a hotel right on the river by the Idaho Falls Temple! 

In the morning we went to Jordan's Baptism!  It was so wonderful to see him make such a greart and important step in his life.  Phillip did a wonderful job of confirming him.   

All the grandkids minus Spencer who was at scout camp!  We enjoyed a delicious lunch over at my brothers house!  It was great to be together!

It was a fun short mini-vacation!

Best Day Ever!

June 26th was one of the best days ever... Jeremy finished his 1st year of his Masters Program and has 2 months off!!  WAHOO!!!!  I am so proud of Jeremy.  He has worked so hard to balance work, school, church, and family, and it has been anything but easy.  The kids and I are LOVING him being home!  We will enjoy ever second of this break!

Dinosaur Train!

Once upon a time I found a deal for the Dinosaur Train at Heber Valley Railroad for 6 dollars a person!  I have been wanting to take my kids on a REAL train ride for a long time!  So I decided that this was it!   

The kids were SO excited! 

Cambridge too! 

My Mom, Sister-in-law Heather and her Mom Geri and all the kids came with me!  While we waited for our train the kids dug for dinosaurs   

played Dino Tic Tac Toe 

and for the 1st time ever... my kids got tattoos.   

the enjoyed Dino twister 

such a cute idea! 

All the kiddos with the dino! 

Finally we boarded the train for our 45 minute joy ride! 

It was hot, but so fun!

The kids all really enjoyed it! 

I must say, we all had a blast dancing the YMCA with the Dinosaur aboard! 

Did I mention it was BEAUTIFUL?! 

Thanks everyone!  That was really fun!  I can't wait to go again!    My Grandpa worked for Union Pacific and so trains have always had a special place in my family!  My next goal: to get Jeremy on a REAL train!
