The 4th of July

The fourth of July is a special day. We not only get to celebrate our Wonderful Country but we also get to celebrate my Birthday! We had a great time BBQing with our friends, hanging out and the best part...Watching fireworks! We now live VERY close to the city's fireworks show and were able to enjoy it from our front yard (o-kay our neighbors front yard had a better view so we were there). It was an amazing birthday! The day was just perfect! Thanks everyone..and enjoy the photos!

Start the day with pancake breakfast and face painting!

Oh and don't forget the cotton candy!

Then head down the street for the Parade!

Happy Birthday to Me! YUMMY Brownie and Heath Bar Triffle!!

Waiting for the show!

Coming Soon...

We have been busy but a good busy. It is almost time for quiet time at our house so I have just  a minute.  

We are doing good. Swim lessons have started and my kidos are getting tan. They are Little fish! They love, love, the water!

I am going to do some great freezer cooking with my pals and am SUPER excited!

Got to go to a scrapbook workshop..FUN!

We went camping and hiking and are looking forward to the 4th of July..it is the Best Day of The Year!

"I Lost My Tooth!!"

K had a wiggly tooth for sometime. We were eating dinner and what do you know..she wiggled it right out!

Once she saw what she looked like without it there she said she wanted me to lose a tooth too. The Tooth Fairy came a few days later (because she didn't want to put it under her pillow) and left her $2.00. She was very excited!

Father's Day Camping

So we really like to go camping...but it is a lot of work to go. We haven't been camping since K was still in her infant seat. So we thought it would be fun to go. That is what W wanted to do for Father's Day so we went. Here are some pictures from the trip.

N helping to set up our new tent. We had to buy a new one so we could all fit in one tent!

Miss K and Monkey B having fun!

After we were all set up and had some dinner, we went for some "explorin" (hiking). This was over looking Bear River Resivor right before sunset.

One of our favorite parts of camping...the Campfire and smores. This was B first experience with the yummy treats and if you know him you know that he is all about the SWEETS! Not so much for Smores. He thought they were too sticky!! The rest of us disagree..

The next morning after Breakfast we went for a hike.

Littlest one was lucky for the hike! He got a ride and a nap.

As the sun was setting that night.

I felt so close to our Father in Heaven.

I am grateful for this Beauitiful World and all that he ahs Blessed my little Family with.

Cute stuff for Grandma

Some really cute kids!

Leapin' Lizards!

So at our new house there are all kinds of wildlife... birds (various varieties), wild turkeys roam the neighborhood, squrels hop from trees to wires, deer by the riverwalk, lots of neighborhood dogs and cats, geese fly by EARLY in the AM....well today the kiddos and Dad caught a Lizard....

The next day our cat killed the poor little lizard.
