Craft Day

This summer Grandma LouLou and Sarah planned the most fun craft days.

The kids went on Wednesday's and made some really cute things.

 They made twinkie pioneer carts, and Gatorade piggy banks.

 They water colored and did an obstacle coarse out back.

 They made magnet boards and clay magnets and played water baseball.

Every week she would also help and teach them how to crochet!

There were other projects also, these are just the ones I remember and took pictures of.

The kids had a blast and loved going up there for craft day!

South Weber Days

I love these cute kids

I also love South Weber, when I was little I loved South Weber Days. As an adult South Weber Days isn't as fun as it used to be, but my kids love it. Which is awesome.

Luckily for me, this year the kids put their otterpops in with their candy so it all got thrown in the garbage.

The kids were able to do Anything Goes with their cousins and they had a blast!

They didn't have an age group for Wes and Brody so they played up with the older kids, and held their own. Brody had a really hard time with the nasty jelly beans. Wesley scarfed them down like a champ.

It was funny because a little while later Max came through with his group and he actually puked!

The kids really wanted to climb the firetruck ladder and it was free, so we did it!

I thought for sure Bensen would take one look at the ladder and change his mind.

He surprised us all and made it to the top, and when the fireman tried to carry him down he wouldn't let him.

Isn't he the cutest little fireman?

Then the rest of the kids took a turn. The pressure was on since their three year old brother made it to the top.

They all made it!

Later that night we went to the Memorial Park in South Weber and watched the fireworks and played with cousins. It was a good day.

July Shenanigans

While Andrew and Cheryl's family was here we got to do some fun RAMP activities with them.

On this particular day we went to a Scout place that had a ropes coarse. 

We had no idea it was even there. It is just up the hill by Arctic Circle.

Bensen and Vivian were pretty good sports, they were to little to do anything but kept themselves busy for the most part.

Jaycee and Wesley were too young to do the whole ropes course, but they were able to do the rock climbing. That was a fun new experience.

After they went to Weber State to ice skate, that was also something they had never done.

I took Bensen and Vivian home for a nap, so we missed out on that one.

We also were able to eat our first tomatoes out of the garden and they were yummy!

For some reason I didn't take any pictures of the 4th of July, but we started the day off at the Brigham city pool just as we have for the last couple of years. Grandma LouLou had some amazing crafts for the kids to work on. They made shirts, hats and bracelets. She is such a fun grandma! Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Baileys for some more cousin time, sparklers and pops!

What a great day we had. We  love this country that we live in and we are so grateful for the blessing that it is in our lives!

Camping at Memorial Park.

We have loved having a trailer! This weekend we were able to go up South Fork to Memorial Park Campground.

We went with Mikes family.

We stayed right next to the river. Which was fun and hard at the same time. We had a really hard time keeping Vivian and Bensen out of the water!

Jaycee and Wesley were just as bad, but I don't have to worry as much about them as I do the littles.

They seriously could have stayed in the river all day!

They would have too if we would have let them.

There were little fish that the kids had fun catching with cups.

Viv loved throwing rocks.

The kids loved tubing and we only lost two tubes.

Everyone was able to come up at some point or other.

Camping with the whole family is always so much fun!

Happy 10th Brithday Jaycee!

This girl! We sure love her, and we are so blessed to have her in our family.

 This year for her party we went up to Pineview reservoir. She took most of the cousins her age and a couple of friends.

 The girls had a blast on the water wienie.

 Then we went up to our trailer and roasted hot dogs, had cake and opened presents.

 Jaycee is so lucky to have so many cousins her age, and to have such good friends.

 She really is a lucky girl.

Jaycee is the best big sister. She is so helpful, especially with her siblings. She is a water girl, any kind of water she loves and would stay in all day. She likes to read, draw, play outside, jump rope, play soccer and basketball. She is funny and still the biggest tease.

We sure love her and wouldn't trade her for the world!
