More Fireworks

Here we are doing some more fireworks in July!! Once again, Kayson was perfectly content to spend his time indoors away from the loud noises. Silly boy!

Happy 4th of July

Zack age 8, Kayson age 5 next month, Kenzie age 10 and Jaycee age 20 months

Happy 4th of July!!!!!

We had a busy, fun-filled holiday. We started out the day at the park with my family. There was a lot of extended family I haven't seen in years, it was so nice to catch up.

Hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday as well.

I was grateful to be able to get all my kids to cooperate for just a minute to get a group shot.

They are such cute kids! And Jaycee has been impossible to get a picture of lately, just that age. So my last picture is priceless.

Fireworks

Fireworks on the 4th at our house. We had an amazing BBQ with Cameron's family. Cameron has turned into quite the cook.

Kayson was too scared of the noise so he decided to watch from the safety of the house. He is too cute!!

Jaycee on the other hand, loved the fireworks. She went right along with everyone else with the ohhs and ahhs. This is her with her Nana.

Cameron and Alex were the pyros this year. Thankfully, we didnt have any major damage. They had a few close calls though.

MacKenzie wanted a good view and climbed up on her dad's truck. I love the way the silhouete turned out.

We also had some great fireworks 2 houses down, too bad they were a little too close for comfort and we were afraid our house would catch fire.

Cute Kiddos!

I just have to share these great shots of two of my adorable nephews.

Jamison is the first one, he will be one next month. He is Nate and Laura's little man. Doesnt he have the most amazing eyes?

The second one, is Kai. He is 2 and belongs to Jessica and Abou. Absolutely adorable!! He is so full of spunk! I loved the look he gave me everytime I tried to take his picture.

Camping Trip

Over Father's Day weekend, we went with Cameron's family to Fairview to go camping. We got to stay in a super fun cabin and had a blast. It was pretty rainy and too wet to do much outside until Sunday, but that didnt stop us from having fun. It was beautiful, so green, and I loved to sit out on the balcony as it rained. We roasted marshmallows on the stove, tried to avoid all the nasty ticks, (Alex got one anyway) played games and hung out together. You forget how entertaining toddlers are until you are stuck in a cabin for a weekend with them.

It was a lot of fun and the kids were very excited to be able to play outside on our last day there. Cameron and Abou took the kids on a walk to hunt for wildlife. The most exciting thing they found were some HUGE worms. Then Cameron took the older kids on 4 wheeler rides. Kayson wasnt quite sure he wanted to go, but when he was done he said" Dad didnt scare me too much."

Las Vegas, Baby!

In May, Cameron and I decided we needed a little mini vacation. We took off to Vegas for the weekend without kids!! BIG thank you to Aunt Danielle for watching them! It was super hot, but so nice to get away. We played in the hotel pool, went to see the dolphins and exotic animals at the Mirage, watched the show at Treasure Island (so not worth it, by the way) and did lots of shopping. We were so grateful for the chance to talk and spend time together without 4 little rugrats in the background.

Petting Zoo

April 18th, we decided to take the kids out to Thanksgiving Point to the petting zoo out there. It was finally a day that was warm enough to go play outside.

Kenzie was not a huge fan of the chickens, turkeys and other birds, but she was so excited to see and ride the horses.

Zack, on the other hand, thought the peacocks were awesome.

Kayson loved to ride the horses too. He informed us that "boys dont ride ponies, only girls ride ponies. Boys ride horses.

Jaycee was a little nervous to see so many animals close up but as long as daddy was close she was ok. She called all the animals "puppies."
