Fun in the Sun

Our new water slide is such a blast. We found this great slide at a garage sale, it is worth every Penny.

Braden and Alex had fun doing tricks on the water slide.

This is my crazy son doing a flip down the slide.

They had a fun day in the sun.

Loved By All

On July 3rd I lost my sweet loving Grandmother. She was one of the most amazing women I've known. She was always looking out for every one but her self. She served everyone around her lovingly. She was a very supportive and loving Grandma. Made the effort to come to almost every thing her grandchildren did, even when my family lived in Colorado, she would come from Idaho. Thank you Grandma for everything you did, and everything you were. I love you.

The 4th of July

I love to see our country's flag flying in the wind.

Every 4th of July we go to the Rodeo. Next year I hope to put Braden in the Rodeo to ride a sheep, it is so cute.

This year we went before the rodeo started and went to the fair. There was a little petting zoo. Braden loved it of course.

They also had blow up slides and trampolines. I love this picture of the dinosaur eating Dan and Braden.

Braden had a blast, and hopefully next year so will Brock.

The 3rd of July

The day before the 4th of July we always go to this big firework show in Bountiful.

We always go early and play around, there is live music and family's playing games all over.

The kids always love having glow sticks, and necklaces.

The adults just sit around snack on food and talk. It's so much fun, and they have the best firework show ever.

Wheeler Farm

Braden, Brock, and I had a play date at the wheeler farm.

Braden loved feeding all the sheep.

I could not believe that they have roosters that will just let a ton a kids pet it.

This was the Big smelly pig. It was a fun day at the farm.

Bee's Game

Dan, Braden, and I love to go to the Salt Lake Bees games, and Braden loves to see the bee.

We didn't have anything for the bee to sign, so Braden had him sign his hand.

We could never go a summer without a few Bees games. We love baseball.

Falling asleep at Chili's

OK so this was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. We were at chili's for dinner a while ago, and at the end of the meal Braden started to close his eyes and was bobbing his head up and down. I thought he was just kidding around, but NO he totally fell asleep sitting up in the restaurant at the table. Dan and I could not stop laughing, and he stayed asleep the whole time Dan carried him out of the restaurant and the whole way home, and to his bed.

I love it when kids fall asleep in funny positions.

This poor little guy always just falls asleep in funny ways all the time.

A day at the Zoo!

Braden loves the white Alligator it's always the first thing he wants to see.

They just put in a new carousel at the zoo. Braden loved it.

Zach and Brock had fun seeing all the animals from the comfort of there strollers.

I love the giraffes they are my favorite.

Jill, Zach, Braden, Brock, and I all had a great day at the zoo. Thanks Jill for inviting us.

Cutting down our forest!

I decided to post these pictures because this has been a big part of our lives lately. We cut down seven trees in our back yard. We have a forest.

Dan looking good cut'n down all the trees.

This is only one pile of many of our tree branches. We had to cut them up small so we could carry them away.

Me with a load of branches. Dan and I have cuts up and down our arms and legs from all the branches.

At our last load to the dump we ended up using the wheel barrel. We loaded up a 10 X 20 trailer three times to get ride of the trees.

Braden's T-ball

Braden loved playing T-ball this year. He was very sad when his games were over. I had to remind him that he would get to play again soon. He was a very good player for his age.

He was a little shy at first trying to catch the ball, but the more he played the more he became more aggressive, and would really go after the ball, like jumping over people and to the ground.

Baseball is by far his favorite sport to play. He looks so cute out there going after the ball. He though is was so big, because all his older friends play so this means that he is now a big boy.
