Sunsets and Lakes

 I love sunsets!  We took the boys fishing at a pond by our house and it was so beautiful when the sun set.  Every time I see a sunset it reminds me that our Heavenly Father loves us and that this world is beautiful.  

The next week we went out to Kolob reservoir with our friends, the Crafts, and played in the lake and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.  The kids have a great time playing and I'm so glad I met them and we became friends.

School Times

 My baby started 2nd grade today!  How can he be that old!  I'm so excited for him to learn and grow and have experiences.  My heart also aches a little, knowing that he is going to face some challenges and that he is nervous since this is a new school for him.  Michael is such a sweet heart and I will miss him and how he makes me laugh and smile everyday.  Summer can't come soon enough!

More Summer Fun

 We love to be in the water and you have to if you live in St. George.  Sand Hollow lake is a lot of fun and the kids love to go there.  We have a great time floating on our rafts and making sand castles.  It's the closest thing we have to a beach!  

We also found a little river that the kids like to walk through and splash each other.  It's muddy...but what's the fun if you don't get a little dirty!

Mamas visit

 We made a quick trip to Utah so that I could work a shift at the instacare.  Yeah...I only have to work once every 3 months...awesome!  We stayed a night with my parents, made a quick trip to visit Mama in Brigham city and stopped by to say hi to Sheryl.  It was a fast trip, but we had a good time.  I feel very blessed that I am able to stay home with my munchkins and that we are surrounded by such wonderful family!

Jeremy turns 35

Jeremy turned 35!  Wow!  And he requested a tractor birthday and that's just what he got!  We celebrated by taking him out to eat at Red Robin and then came home for cake and presents.  How grateful we are for such an amazing man in our lives.  He works hard to provide for our family and is a wonderful dad.  The kids favorite part of the day is wrestle mania with their dad and Juliet loves to coax treats out of him and snuggle with him on the couch.  We love you Babe!  Happy Birthday!

July 24th fun

 To celebrate July 24th we took the kids to a parade in the morning, which they love because they get candy.  Then we headed over to the theater to watch a movie, and spent the rest of the evening barbequing some good food and just spending time together.  How I love my family!  

The next weekend we made a trip to Pine Valley where we hiked the river walk and roasted some hot dogs and marshmallows. The kids had a great time exploring and hitting things with their sticks.  We even took our fishing poles and the kids tried catching some fish in the lake.  Can you tell that we love to be outside!

Kanerville Canyon

 Jeremy and I found this awesome hike that led us through some narrow canyon walls.  It was beautiful and we loved walking in the cool water.  The kids had a blast and never wanted to stop exploring.  Jeremy was a trooper and hiked with Juliet on his bike the entire hike.  It was beautiful and reminded us of how amazing this world is!
