Memory Monday

We got the little 4-wheeler from Mer and Jer let the kids help get them all cleaned up. 

Another fun day at the splash pad. 

Getting pampered by this handsome kid.

The love to punch dad out to work. 

This little one loves the hose. 

I have been blessed with great friends. We all got together at the pool for the first time in a LONG time. Love catching up with these ladies. 

Who needs a pool when you have the kiddy pool!

Loves being wrapped in a towel. 

In the car taking pictures with lele's camera. She will say cheese!

Her first day of nursery! She did okay...

Alington Reunion.

We headed up to Heber for the annual Alington reunion. The kids always have fun and it s good to catch up with Jer's side of the family.  Leah was on the zip line the majority of the time. 

Didn't really trust the boats, I was worried they were going to fall apart at any moment, but the kids didn't seem to care. 

My little monkey. 

Goose was a fan of the swing.

She loves this swing and made a complete fit overtime she had to get out to give others a turn. 

Yay for Busy Summer Days!

Cousins have been in Lake Powell this week so we have kept to ourselves most days. My kids could watch TV and play the Wii all day if I let them. Since we had nothing else going on and nowhere to go we pulled out the pool for the first time this summer. We stayed outside for 3 hours!! The kids had a blast with the mini slide and sprinkler. 

We took a creamy break. 

Then we had fun with red cups giving the dead spots some extra water. They were calling this move the "sonic wave" there was also a "sonic blast and boom". 

Lacey joined us after nap.

In her birthday suit too:)

There usually is a water fight somewhere in there. 

Lacey took some selfies with me, she is the biggest ham ever!

Later we broke down the boxes from our new bedroom set! The kids had a ball, but is was the biggest pain to clean up all the styrafoam. They literally played in the pile for a good hour. I love the little things that keep them entertained. We karate chopped, kneed, stabbed, poked, hit, and destroyed every last piece! 

Bubbles and Rain.

Still trying to figure out my camera. Bubbles are only done outside at our house. Only because 75% of them end up dumped out! Lulu getting in on the fun. 

Their goal was to blow and catch the bubbles. 

Not sure if goose was blowing or spitting in this one, either way it gets the job done! 

Later that night we had a crazy rain storm. The kids had a ball out dancing in the rain.
