Fireworks!

We had dinner and fireworks at Kelly and Christy's home (THANK YOU!) for our 4th of July celebrations. It was the first year we have been able to go because I have always had to go to the Stadium of Fire (my girls performed there) and I was so glad I didn't have to go this year!

We had a lot of fun, and the kids loved it. Thanks for having us over. We look forward to next year:)

Bree's night is over - she couldn't stay awake!

4th of July

We were supposed to go to a cabin with some good friends of ours Thursday and Friday, but Dusty had rehearsal Thursday night so we couldn't go. Well, I was so sick of staying home that I made reservations at a hotel in Park City - just to get out of the house!! In the end, Dusty ended up NOT going to rehearsal so we had a fun night with the kids in Park City. They enjoyed swimming the most even though it was torture for me and Dusty. Then we went to main street and ate some ice cream. We tried going to the parade on Friday, but it was SO crazy! We ended up going bowling instead. Bree beat us all at bowling!!

I'll add another post of our night activities so this one doesn't get too long...

Summer Fun

Last weekend my husband went camping (to a cabin - is that really camping?) with his best friends, so on Saturday the wives and kids got together at our house for a swim party and lunch. It was so fun getting together and just talking. I really have missed hanging out with these girls! When I was working, I was always so busy - but now we have seen them 3 times in 2 weeks - definitely a record!! And we love it!

Anyways, here are a few picts of the kids swimming. They had a blast. Thanks Christy, Shelley and Kim for a fun day:)

Great Friends

My good friend Robyn was in town this week from Alaska. I felt horrible that we only got to spend an hour with them, but we still loved seeing them. Her three kids are adorable (Lexi, Tyson and Joshua). Jack sure misses Lexi. She was his very first friend! She is about 3 months older than him so they have known each other since he was born! But, we miss them a lot and love it when we get the chance to see them.

"AMAZING DAD!!"

Bree: "Mommy"
Mom: "Yes Bree"
Bree: "I really like dad. He really is amazing"
Mom: "I think so too Bree"

What an adorable child I have:)

Weekend Events

Our great friend Pancho was in town this weekend and it was so good to see him and catch up with him. We have known Pancho for 7 years now, and he really does feel like part of the family. My kids adore him and are sad to see him leave. On Sunday, we went up the canyon for a picnic with Pancho and my parents. It was beautiful (but very hot!!). Then we had to take Pancho to the airport which we always hate to see him leave. But, thankfully he will be back in a few weeks. Thanks for a great weekend Pancho!!

T-Ball Game

Jack had his first t-ball game on Saturday and he did so good. He loves playing baseball and I definitely think he will want to stick with this one! He was adorable (I am sure he will love that I used that word!). He had two great hits (they only play 3 innings) and played left field. Here are a few pictures:
