LEGOLAND

We had so much fun in LEGOLAND it is definately age appropiate to my kids!!!

First part of Aug

I have been meaning to write about these events as they happened

but more and more events kept happening... and keeping me busy.

So before out next event happens next week (LEGOLAND)
I thought I should catch up.

We gave the boys hair cuts at cookie cutters.
We normally wouldn't spend so much
but we had coupons that made it just as cheap as
Great Clips closest to our house.

Then Sunday during church, right after the sacrament, Ben slipped on some goldfish cracker crumbs and bit through his lip. There was a lot of blood and it required 3 stitches. As a Mom I totally thought I could handle watching him get stitches, until I got light headed...and had to sit down. It healed quickly and you can't even see a scar any more.
Then we Celebrated Celeste's Birthday, it was a fun little party.

Then we made Banana Bread...
It started with just me then it became a whole big ordeal,
once they saw me put on my apron..
They wanted theirs on too!!!

Then we had Doug's and Lizzies Wedding at the Draper Temple.
It was a perfect day (besides some rain)
The Ceremony was wonderful, the reception gorgeous,
and the time with family just heaven sent!!!


Then Just last night we celebrated Camerons and Brian's Birthdays! Cameron just turned 1 and Brian turned 24! It was a special combined party.

Month of July-(I guess some of June too)

Cameron is Walking!!!

Cameron is now walking, He started walking with the walker back in June and by middle of July we was walking Full on...

We went to the Parade in Herriman.

Which was a first for Ethan and Cameron and Ben was too young to remember.

They Loved getting the candy so much that we hit another parade the next weekend 4th of July. Which they were able to see Uncle Brian who performed with the Salt Lake Community Collage Marching Band!!

We also got to go to Matt's Summer Social for work. It was alot of fun with a bounce place, Balloon Animals. (a Pink Poodle and a Big Yellow BANANA)

They had face painting, bubbles, color books, balls and dinner!

The Boys also got a taste of two sets of fireworks. Herriman days and 4th of July. fireworks no longer have any excitement to me, so now I get to enjoy it through my kids!

We Aslo celebrated 2 Birthdays! My moms and Brother Daniel!

My boys and I also have been just having fun at home doing everyday things. Like gardening, vacuuming, playing on the swing set ect...

Bear Lake, camping and our little HERO!

We just spent last week at Bear Lake! It was alot of fun!

They had mini-golf, 2 swimming pools, the beach and a wonderful playground, where we spent most of our time.

Then on colder days we went to a pioneer museum,

and did some arts and crafts in the craft hut!

Then on Thursday night we had the pleasure of going out to dinner at Bear Lake Pizza,

where the kids got to ride some little quater rides.

Afterwards we got the pleasure of watching a play at the PickleVille playhouse,

Called "Annie get your gun". It was probably the highlight of my week.

On the first time, we went swimming Ben made himself a HERO!!

Little William about 2 years old had fallen into the pool, While non of the adults were watching and Ben was good enough to YELL.... "MOM, He fell in"

We were very lucky that he saw him and yelled, we have no idea really how long he was in there but we assumed not too long because he was still toward the surface and was kicking and flaring his arms. Matt ran in and grabbed him out.

The ending of that crazy fun week was our ward camping trip! It was the first time they ever slept in a tent and sleeping bags! It rained over night and in the morning which made it kinda miserable but the boys didn't even seem fazed, They had a blast!

2 weeks....phew.....

We've had the weirdest 2 weeks. It started with Ben having a stomic bug and strep throat...

Then Matt ended up with hives and strep throat,

and then cameron had high fevers and strep too...

Meanwhile Ethan still remained happy and healthy... then once the weekend hit, Ethan and I finally started showing symtoms of fevers and strep also. By monday Ethan than moved from strep to joining Ben with a second batch of the stomic bug.

By Tuesday the kids woke up wanting to play and be normal. They tried so hard to have a normal day but by afternoon all the kids had crashed for long 3 hour naps..Yeah for me!!!

Then by Friday, we went to Kearn High School Graduation, to see my brother Daniel graduate from highschool! (Congrates)

It was a crazy 2 weeks and just this weekend Cameron surprised me..He learned to Crawl so now he is everywhere and into everything.

He is becoming such a big boy... Hates everything baby and loves everything big boy..Especially BIG COOKIES!!!

Do you remember this Wallpaper?

Do you Remember this Wallpaper?

It is GONE!!!

I spent the last weekend removing and repainting my scrapbooking room!

And I also added some vinyl to my bedroom wall!!

April Activities

Welcome good weather and summer clothes...
(for only a few days atleast).
So we played outside quit a bit, playing at the park, at neighbors houses and on our . . . . .

New Swing Set!!!

p.s. Thanks Matt and Dad for spending 8 hours putting it together!

Then we had a Birthday Party next door for Logan! It was a Animal themed party. They hired this guy that has the most unique pets. Snakes, Spiders, bugs, birds, rabbits, lizards ect.. he even has traditional pets like cats and dogs. Anyways he brings his most exotic animals and the kids can touch them and hold them and learn all about them. It was a whole lot of fun!!!

Then I guess the next highlight for April was Easter!!!

We decorated Eggs with Grandma Earl, they had an easter egg hunt in the backyard and

they loved the toys they got in their baskets.

They also got another egg hunt at grandma Jaffas!

After Easter we had a focus of weeding the yard. The previous owners put in some curbing all around the house and in the corner and last summer I didn't do anywork in it so this year it is a real chore. So the boys has been using their shovels and things to help me.

And with that I am also pulling out my old garden and putting in a new vegetable garden.

This is my largest carrot that grew last year!

Last year, I just had a baby, so I never pulled out any of my vegetables,

(mainly because i didn't think anything grew)

and surprise there was alot of carrots that survived!
