Quail Lake with YW

We went to Quail Lake last night with the Young Women. Garrett had to bring some friends so he wouldn't be the only boy. Roasting hot dogs on the beach and the yummy food was a definate highlight. Everyone had a good time. They even knocked G, Luke, and Branson of the tube.

Jaxons big cheeks!

We took Jaxon outside to try to get a pic of his darling big smile. No such luck! He was too distracted out there for us. Next time!!

Happy 24th!

We had a fun water/BBQ/fireworks party at Grandma Judy's. It was such a nice day. Overcast and not too hot. The kids had fun sliding on the slip and slide, and sliding down the slide into the frog pool. We had yummy red, white,and blue desserts. The fireworks were great, too. This was the first year that Carly wasn't scared of them. She actually held a sparkler by herself! Nice job Carly.

Happy 30th Melanie!

I made Melanie a 30th birthday cake. We took it over to her house. She of course invited us to stay and eat it. We thought we'd leave the 30 suckers on it and lit candle on the lower level. Yah, way smart. The wrappers started on fire. I hope you have an awesome day Melanie!

Veyo

We finally made it to Veyo this year. It was just as fun and yummy as we remembered! Thanks Mom!

Swim, swim, swim...

Grandma Judy got a new boat that we had to try out at Bode's pool. It was way too fun! Here are the pics from the last day of swim lessons. Lots of cool jumps off the diving board. Nice job Luke and Carly!

Turner Reunion 2010

We got to go to the Turner family reuinion in Park City this year. Heather, kids, and I went with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Garn. We went to Aunt Diane and my cousin Nyleen's cabins. It was amazing. We felt like we were at a resort. The kids ran free in their yards, played on the swingset, tramp, river walk, and woods. A favorite was Thea's treehouse that reminded me of Tarzan's. We ran into snakes, made hot dogs and s'mores over a HUGE fire pit, and did sparklers.

I was in heaven! There were so many wonderful photo spots. I took tons of pics, and the kids barely noticed. We went to a Park City Style 4th of July parade, and got to go to the OneRepublic concert outdoor at Deer Valley. I made mom stop to take pics by the barn. I have always wanted to take some there, but I hardly ever take my kids with me to Park City. We also managed to cool off....alot! Boy it was cold up there! Sunday It was in the 40 and 50's.

Swim Lessons

We started swim lessons today with all the cousins. They had a great time. They all had to show their teachers their skills. Bode thought he'd show her that he didn't need help swimming. He's not a bad doggie paddler, I have to admit.

SLC

We spent the week in SLC hanging with Colby before he left. We had a blast at Lagoon. It's a family favorite.

This was our first time to Cowabunga Bay. It was so fun and cute. I was taking pics of things just cuz they were darling.

Good luck Colby, We love you!!

Farewell

We had a nice going away party for Colby last night. Lots of yummy food. We always enjoy hanging out in the Wallis' back yard. Thanks everyone! We wish you luck Colby! We love you.

It's tiring being this cute!

It's tiring being this cute! Jaxon just lounges by the pool while the cousins play.

swimmin' with the cousins

We went swimming with the cousins today. Everyone fought over the underwater skateboard. It was definatly a big hit.

It's finally HOT!!

106 degrees, what else is there to do?

Dad

We were excited that we got to see Dad. He got to sneak away from training. We went to Tempan Yaki for dinner. It was really fun to watch them cook infront of us. They threw shrimp in everybody's mouths. Kaden and Colby caught them. Thanks Dad!

More vaca...

More Thomas...

On Sun., We went to the Hogle Zoo. I think the kids had the most fun there.

We loved the new baby elephant, Zuri. She was so funny. She kept running over top of her swimming pool and smashing it.
