It had been sooo hot down here for three weeks, like in the 100's every day, so we decided for the 24th of July, our state holiday we would go spend a night at Snowbird. It was cooler and beautiful!!! We had dinner at a Mexican restaurant up there then went swimming. We woke up and had their awesome brunch and then rode the Tram, and played all day. It was really fun and relaxing and great to have some family time. It's getting nice to not have a baby, too. All the kids could do most everything, besides the zip line. Danni was sooo mad she wasn't 75 pounds yet!!!

We went to Bear Lake on another camping trip with our friends, the Renfros. Doug and Lisa and their kids came up too, they didn't camp, they stayed at a condo close by. We had a really fun weekend, boating, swimming, four wheeling, playing in the sand, camping, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows and just playing and relaxing. Thanks Uncle Doug for bringing your 4 wheeler.

Gracen, Dawson and Brennen

We didn't do a whole lot, I was tired and worn out still from our camping trip the weekend before so we just hung out at, Darin did some work on our wall out front and I took the kids swimming, we went out to dinner at Noodles, then did fireworks that night at our house. Bonni and Abe came over and so did Lisa and her kids. It was fun.

Britty Boy is 3!!!!

His birthday was on the day we got back from Bear Lake, so he had just had a bath and then we did his cake.


Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake!!!


What can I say, my baby is now 3!!!! Wow, the time flew by. We had just gotten home from Bear Lake on the 1st, so on the 2nd, we went out to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner and then to see Transformers, the two things he wanted: Spiderman cake and to see Transformers.

Preschool Graduation!!!

Gracen and Mrs. Hammer

Gracen also had his preshool graduation the end of June. We were sad to say good bye to preschool and Mrs Hammer, luckily Britt will go in the fall and we'll still get to see her. Gracen can't wait to go to the "Big" school with the girls. Kindergarten will be so fun.

Gracen's Bday

The fishing pond


The fire pit where they roasted dogs and marshmallows


Before we went outside, he had the birthday boy catch a fish for a backyard pond, Gracen was sooo excited!!!


All the kids at the party


I forgot to post my cute little boys birthday back in April. Gracen turned the big 5!!!!


We had a fishing party, a place close by hosts them, you get to fish then they do a big BBQ lunch over the fire pit. It rained a little on us, but the boys didn't seem to mind. Five year olds loved the fire pit as much as the fishing!!!!

Where has the summer gone?

I am so sad it is already August. Where has the summer gone? We have had tons of fun and been super busy. We've had lots of camping trips, we've been twice to Bear Lake and camped up at Cherry Hill for Darin's family reunion. We stayed a night up at Snowbird over our state holiday, the 24th of July. We've had lots of fun and stayed busy. Here are some photos to update our summer thus far.

These pictures are from our fun weekend up at Bear Lake the 28th of June, Darin did the first Bear Lake Triathlon and my good friend, Kimberly and her family, her husband, Martin, their two boys Tyson and Dallin and baby Avery all came up to camp with us. Kellie and Greg were there and Janie and Mike stayed at another campground. It was a great weekend, we had lots of fun. These pictures are from the bikes we rented at our campground. (Kimberly has all the other pictures, the battery died on my camera.)
