Summer Fun

We have had a great time this summer.  We were able to go to Jungle Jims, Seven Peaks, and Trafalga.  The kids love to go on rides, swim, and play mini golf.  The carefree, fun life of a kid!  We also celebrated Mama's 82nd birthday.

 

Jer's Birthday and the Ulcer

Can you believe that Jeremy is 34!  Wow..time flies.  We celebrated with a Utah State Aggie theme and went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  I am so thankful for my hubby of 11 years.  He is my best friend, my sweetheart, my love.  Our kids adore him and I am so grateful for all he does for us.  Jeremy also competed in the Ulcer race, where he biked 60 miles with his brother-in-law Todd.  Todd's family and the kids and I went to cheer them on.  Pretty impressive!

Camping

Camping is made for little boys!  We were able to go camping for two nights in Ogden canyon with Jeremy's family and the boys were in heaven.  Playing in the dirt and swimming in the lake and eating smores over a campfire...what more could they want.  We had a great time and Jeremy even tried paddle boarding in the lake.   Summer and vacationing are the best! 

Bryce's Birthday

 How I love this little boy!  Bryce turned 4 on the 21st and we had a Jake and the Neverland Pirates Birthday for him.  He was so excited!  We started off the day by going to a bounce house where him and Michael jumped to their hearts content and then came home for his favorite dinner (pasta with white sauce) and then cake and ice cream.  He loved his Pirate ship and sword.  Bryce is just the sweetest kid you will ever meet.  I love that he becomes superheros everyday and helps with anything I ask him to do.  He has such a sweet spirit and is quite the athlete and is so dang smart.  He is such a blessing to our family.  We love you Bryce!

Juliet's Birthday

I can't believe my baby is one!  When did that happen!  I just love this little girl and she has all of us wrapped around her little finger.  What a blessing she is to us!  We celebrated her birthday by going to see Monsters University and then came home to a butterfly birthday.  She loved her new birthday chair and her Minnie cell phone.  This little girl is such a sweetheart and charms everyone she meets.  She loves to be snuggled and is definitely a mommy's girl.  She toddles after the boys and needs to be wherever they are.  We adore her and can't picture life without her!

Independence Day

I am proud to be an American!  I have always loved July 4th and watching fireworks and this year was no exception.  My family was able to come over for a BBQ and we let the kids play water games and swim in the pool until it was time to go see the fireworks.  The kids were enthralled watching the fireworks light up the sky.  I love the excitement little kids bring to all events and feel very blessed right now to be living in such a wonderful place surrounded by wonderful family and friends and to be free!  And on another note...Michael learned how to ride a bike!  It has been so fun to watch him learn this new skill and he is so proud of himself.

Anniversary

Jeremy and I just celebrated our 11 year anniversary.  We were able to spend two days up in beautiful Eden.  The first day we went to City Center in Salt Lake and went shopping and ate at the Cheesecake Factory (yum).  Then the next day, we mountain biked up to Snowbasin...which was exhausting but so beautiful.  I thought that since I had been running up to 6 miles a day, that mountain biking wouldn't be that tough....wrong!  It was a lot of work, but totally worth it!  After recovering at Snowbasin, we soaked up the sun at the pool and then decided to play some racquetball.  And 10 minutes into playing, I rolled my left foot and broke it.  When did I get old!  Luckily I broke it near the end of our trip, because I spent the rest of the night and next morning hobbling around.  Even though I can no longer walk, it was still a blast.  And now I have a cool new knee scooter to ride around on.  I have the best husband around and am so grateful that I married him.  I am one lucky gal.
