Mountain Escape

Daddy decided that we needed to get up in the mountains today.

We packed up a picnic and off we went.

 After we ate we went exploring.

 The boys all decided to water a tree together.

 We found a great trail and took many rest breaks.

 Alex did a little ninja training on the nature hike.

 He is super strong.

 Al and Daddy walking up the trail.

 The mountains are a great place to sit and think.

 And to be goofy together.

 This part makes this mommy's heart swell with happiness!

 I will never stop loving holding their hands!

 The public trail turned into private land so we bushwhacked our way back to the road. 

 DJ loved finding sitting trees.

 We decided after an afternoon in the mountains we would roast hot dogs for dinner.

 When a fire is going you always have to finish the night with s'mores!

What a perfect Sunday afternoon and evening!

Friend's Birthday Party

We got invited to our friend/cousin's birthday party today.  We had so much fun!

 It was an underwater theme with lots of fish decorations.  The boys had a great time playing with colored play doe and sea creatures.

 Eating delicious treats.

 Coloring the mural.

 Doing a bean bag toss.

 And making bracelets and necklaces.

We are happy to live to close to our friend and hope he had the best birthday ever!

Fun Friday

Friday started out with pool time in the backyard.

 Doing a little surfing

 Swinging

 Playing in the water.

 And of course a lot of water gun shooting.

Later we met daddy, grandma, and grandpa up at Snowbird to have fun with the summer activities.

 We did all of the activities.

 We got to ride the ski lift even though there wasn't any snow.

 We got to try out the ropes course.  The boys did pretty good.

 Alex with no fear of heights at all.

 We rode the tram to the top of the mountain.

 The views are just to spectacular from the top.

 This was an amazing day!

Comic Con Characters

Uncle Bill invited some Comic Con characters to his ward activity and then told everyone to come check them out.  The boys loved seeing all of the characters!

Barf (from Space Balls)

 The Fairy Godmother

 Batman

 Olaf

 Thor

Iron Man

 DJ's goal was to gather all of the characters to take a picture with everyone.

Another Day, Another Park

We love getting out and soaking up the fun!  We went with some other friends to a park/splash pad today.  It was chilly with lots of clouds so the boys didn't go over to the splash pad much but they had a blast on the playground side.

Climbing up

 and sliding down.

 King of the mountain.

We had so much fun and love getting together with friends.

Splash Pad with our Friend

We went to a splash pad by our house today.  We invited our friend Tanner to join us.

 It was really busy, but we had a lot of fun.

Haircut, Drawing, and Bees Game

 Alex got a new summer haircut.

 The boys have really gotten into drawing lately.  I found an amazing website that teaches young kids how to draw and they love it.

 Grandma and Grandpa invited us to the Bees baseball game.

 We had a blast!
