Exciting News!

This cute family has some VERY EXCITING NEWS!
The first week of January, they are going to have a baby sister!  We can't wait!

Jamie has had a very difficult pregnancy, so we have been able to have these cute boys for a sleepover, several times this summer to give her a rest.  (Lexi stays with Jamie to keep her company)

We try to include at least one of the other cousins to make it more fun!

They LOVE our park!

I've been helping a friend pack up to move.  She has THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS  of books that I've been helping her pack.  She gave me these Little Critter ones to read to the boys.

When I get too tired to play anymore, we put on a movie.

We took a trip to Logan's favorite Rocket Museum (Clark Planetarium)

They love riding the Trax around Salt Lake .

This place is magical to these cute boys.  (I don't take all 4 boys here, too many to chase)

Logan really wanted to sleep outside in a tent, so we put up a tiny one in the backyard and had a campout.  No campout is complete without s'mores.

Logan is great at shadow puppets.

They loved playing golf on the trampoline.

The boys were playing in the backyard, I looked out the window and saw Parker on the Monkey bars, YIKES!!!!!  Thankfully, I made it to him before he fell.

We went to Chick fil A on Cow Appreciation Day

I just got a text from Jamie who said their baby is about the size of a Beanie Baby.

We are hoping and praying constantly, that this tiny angel is healthy and strong!!!!

Grandpa Cline's Garden

A few weeks ago, Grandpa Cline invited us to come and help him harvest his garden.

He had lots of beets and carrots, this one was our favorite!

Snow cone machine

 One of my favorite new purchases, is our snow cone machine.  Kathy Birks was telling me that she had bought one for her family and how much they enjoyed it.  She gave me all the information on where she got it and I bought one too.

The kids have had lots of fun with it! 

They made all kinds of yummy snow cones.

Jordan's family wasn't able to come to dinner the first time we used it so I took it to them.  

Logan wanted a rainbow one.

I tended Jack the other day, and we invited Javier, one of my primary boys over to play.

I heard the activity day girls were going on a bike ride, so I invited them to stop by for a snow cone.

Family trip to Lagoon

The week before school started, we went to Lagoon.  I haven't been for YEARS, and I think it was my favorite time ever.  They have added so many fun rides.  The kids all had a great time.  Most of the girls went on all the scary rides and really liked them.

All of us LOVED the log ride!

Josh's family

It was a pretty warm day, so getting wet felt great!

Krista's family

We were there from the time it opened until it closed. Oliver didn't want to leave,

Jordan and Logan, (Jamie couldn't ride the rides so she took Parker to a fun bounce house)

What a fun day!!!

Sherryl and Scott's 43rd wedding anniversary

July 30th would have been Scott and Sherryl's 43rd wedding anniversary.  Scott passed away in February, and Sherryl has been having a really rough time.  She didn't want to spend her anniversary alone, so we decided to make it a fun day.  

We went to Park City and rode a chair lift up the mountain to see the beautiful scenery

We spent the day shopping in Park City and then at the Outlet Mall.  We found some fun shirts, (we bought 2 matching ones)

That night we went to see Mama Mia at Sundance Theater.  We LOVED it!

That night, we stayed at the Zermatt Hotel in Midway, such a fun place!

The next morning, we swam in the pool, relaxed in the hot tub, sauna, steam room and relaxation room that they had in the spa.

After we checked out of the hotel, we went to lunch at a fun restaurant at the Homestead.  We had delicious chicken pesto sandwiches and sweet potato fries, YUMMM

Ric's Car Show

Last weekend, Ric had one of his AWESOME Porsche's in a car show down in Provo.  I mentioned it to my kids and Jordan's family was able to join us.

Cierra and Family were there too

Me and Mike

The kids favorite was the chalkboard bus

Logan and Parker loved hanging out with Lucy and Jack

Carissa and her family were there and Kathy and Chip (No picture of Chip)

It's Birthday month

July is Birthday month in our family.  This past week we celebrated 6 of our 9 July Birthdays.  

Logan was the first one, he turned 6 on July 2nd.

Our family went to Cowabunga Bay to celebrate all the July birthdays, such a fun day!

Hailey turned 13 on July 6th.  She's one of the VERY NICEST teenagers I know!!!

Josh turned 38 on the same day.  He wanted to go Kayaking at Tibble Fork Lake to celebrate his.  

Then Parker turned 3 on July 7th.  We went to his house for a fun party with yummy Avenger Cake.

That same day, Oliver turned 4, and 2 days later Kelsi turned 7.  We celebrated their birthdays at their neighborhood pool (no pictures) and had birthday cake and ice cream in the party room.

Mike's birthday was on the 18th and we went to see the new Spider Man Movie.

Then Jamie's birthday was a few days later, and Jordan's the very next week.
