Mt. Timpanogos Cave.

Jer took the kids to hike Mt. Timpanogos Cave before the summer ended. He said they did great on the hike up and the down part was where he had to carry goose! Love my little adventures!

Weekend Recap!

This weekend was packed with event that could have been the weekend themselves. We headed to Huntsville to finally get out on the boat for the first time this summer. 

Lacey and B-man not so sure of all the crazies in the water. 

The kids loves "buoying" as Landon call it. 

Goose had a ball throwing sad on the beach. I love it up here and was sad that we had to cute it short. 

But we headed to Ogden to pick aunt Terri's garden while she was out of town. The highlight of the day was the goat!

Lacey was loving the raspberries. 

Grandpa Nielsen came to supervise to make sure we were doing the job right. 

Taking all the scraps to the goat. 

Memory Monday.

Went to visit Grandpa Thomas. 

Kids out training for their triathlon. 

Lulu is fearless in the pool. It's so scary! 

My little fish. This kid could swim all day everyday!

The slip-n-slide. Not one of their better pool ideas. 

Backyard shenanigans with the 4-wheeler. 

The unanimous cannonball. 

Trying to create a giant wave. I love when they all play so nice together at the pool! 

Frontrunner Train.

With summer rapidly coming to a close we decided on Saturday to ride the frontrunner train from Wood Cross to City Creek with the kids. It's something that we had on our bucket list and it seemed like a perfect day to check it off. The kids were pretty excited to finally be able to ride the train since we get stopped by it quite often coming up the hill from our house. 

Lacey loved not having to be buckled and was free to move from seat to seat. 

Luckily it wasn't crowded at all and we had the whole upper deck to ourselves, which means all the kids got a window seat. 

We stopped at City creek for lunch at Chick-fil-A and then walked the mall. The kids highlight was feeding the trout some nuggets. I'm surprised Jer shared any of them, you know him and his chick-fil-a! The fish swarmed the second they stared feeding them. Leah put her hand a little close and got bit. I just surprised none of them fell it.

We headed over to the temple grounds before headed back to the train station. It was a beautiful day and the temple grounds were in full bloom. 

We didn't want to go straight home so we rode the train back to farmington station to get some ice cream and to be able to ride the train a little longer. 

It was a fun day and something we will definitely do again!

Ward Cookout!

We had a ward cookout this weekend with a dutch oven dessert cook off. 

The kids helped make the dutch oven. 

We played and had dinner. 

And then with in 5 minutes we had rain coming in sideways and we were all drenched. They party was over real quick. Kids took cover under the table. 

We went home and finished the dutch oven in the oven and had some hot chocolate. Definitely something we won't forget. 

The Wedding Week!

The week of Brecken and Derek. I am so excited for these two, but so excited for this week to be over! 

Monday was the open house. 

Thanks Jenny for captures our best!

Wednesday night the wedding dinner. 

Thursday the Big Day. It was beautiful and the weather was perfect for them! 

I was awful at taking picture so this is all I got!
