July 2017

As usual July is full of lots of activities! We love it!
Some things that we did that I didn't take any pictures of are: Marla and Kyle came up and left their kids with ours so we could go play tennis together and then go get ice cream at Neilsons afterwards. We have been working hard on our sprinkler system to get them all up and running. The previous owners did not have a green thumb at all! We have already been doing lots of work to the yards.
We went to a farewell for Beckie and their family since they are moving to Japan. Very sad to finally live next to a sister only to have her move far far away.
Caden went to a friends birthday party.
Chris and I went to the Temple.
Caden had many friends come over to play.
And I took Beckie's family pictures before they left. 



At the very beginning of the Month Chris's parents came and brought Coulsen with them. They stayed from the 1st to the 5th. Amber and Michael with their family also came and celebrated the 4th. It was our last chance to have family come and stay in our basement before we have renters. 

On our way with Grandma and Grandpa to a splash Pad. 





Kids were pretty tuckered out after playing hard at the splash pad. 



While the family was staying at our place we took them all to Huntington lake to fish. Spent the whole day there. We fished, played in the water/sand, went on the boat around the lake, and had hot dogs for lunch! Super fun day!













I caught the smallest fish haha...I always seem to do that!
















Kids were so tired! They fell asleep the minute we started driving! 



FHE Sunday at Aunt Linda's place. Lots of family was here this time! Little mini reunion for Grandma Elaine with all of her kids there. Fun to see them all together. We also celebrated lots of birthdays, including CHRIS!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We love Grandma!!







HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!! 



Back to our place. Poor boys tuckered out! Like Father Like Son!! haha love this!




We did Fire works on the 3rd because that is what worked out for everyone! It was fun and the kids loved every minute of it, even though it was way past their bedtime and a bit tired!













I LOVE THIS PICTURE!! wish is was clearer but still super cute!






HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!





After family left we got to go to Amy and Arons to relax in their pool! kids are getting so much better with feeling more comfortable in the water without me holding on to them. YAY little success!





HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS/
DADDY!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!


I surprised Chris with A Lot of things! He didn't think I had planned anything for him until I surprised him at work with all the people that are at work singing happy birthday to him while the kids and I brought out a cake to share with everyone! I got him to leave work early and took him to Heber to go on the zip lines that are there! It was super fun! I think he really like it and had a good birthday! Can't believe you are 30!! Happy Birthday, I love you!






About to go on the longest zip line over water in the world!! 





At Ammon's Birthday Party!
Ammon is Caden's friend from his first year of preschool in Lindon. 









At one of Caden's Soccer games. Catherine loves watching in her own little chair with snacks and her toys! She was very content! 




There were trackers working on the path behind our house. The kids insisted on coming out to watch! haha Kept them entertained for a good amount of time! I loved it!




HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELI WHITTIER!!! 



Another day at the pool! 
Thanks Amy and Aron!!! 

Caden is getting so good! Making progress little by little! 












HAPPY 24TH OF JULY!!
We went down to meadow to go to all of the festivities! We love the small town celebrations.




We went to Kanosh for their parade and lunch. 




Then to Meadow for their parade and Dinner/ festivities!

They did so well in their races! 

We stayed the night with Marla and Kyle so that we could get the kids down to bed and be able to watch movies at the park! We love the Thurman Family!


Back at home! Catherine, You are sooo cute!


Our garden is growing!! We are learning the hard way what squash bugs are!! They killed three of our plants! SOO devastating! Hate those bugs!
