Summer Fun!

This summer has been a blast! We have been BUSY! I let the kids pick something to sign up for this summer. Lucy and Gracie took a tap, ballet, and jazz class. Hunter and Lucy did swim team. Tyler took a karate class(forgot to take a picture). They all enjoyed their classes and they kept us busy, but I am glad they are over now. I can finally sleep in and get some of the house work done. 

When Travis leaves for work, the kids try to stop him!

Hunter did really well this year. He got a lot of ribbons. He also was able to compete in the 100 yard IM (every stroke across the pool in one race.) He got third. I was so proud of him. That is a lot of swimming!

Of course we have spent time at the cabin. 

 Weston loves to tease. He was attacking all the girls in the sunflower room. Lance even joined in the fun.

My cuz Anna put together Minute to win it games. The kids all had a blast with this one.

 We had to have our Red Neck Pinata!

Hunter's 9th Birthday

Monday was Hunter's 9th birthday. Where does the time go? Instead of doing a party I let him go to the game store and pick out some video games. He was happy to get new games and I was happy to not have to put together a big party!! Win Win! Hunter got to have his favorite meals for the day. Breakfast was eggs and sausages, Lunch chicken nuggets and Dinner biscuits and gravy. We had cake and ice cream at the cabin over the weekend with my family. Then we had dinner on his actual bday with Travis's family. Too bad we didn't make it to 7-11 for a free Slurpee, but we did get our free dozen krispy kreme!

Mothers Day Present

This was our present this year for all the Grandmas! We had a lot of fun going around the Temple and taking pictures. It has the best scenery for pictures.

Easter in the Mountains

We went up north for Easter this year and were surprised to still see patches of snow.

We were really lucky to go to Grand Canyon too. It happened to be free this weekend. I love when stuff is free.

 It still is hard for me to stand by the edge of The Grand Canyon. It is so deep it makes your heart race a bit faster.

Tyler and I aren't one for heights so we stayed back most of the time, but we did get a few pictures by the edge.

 Lucy was reading to everyone this weekend. Gracie fell asleep to her reading. I love how she is holding her hair away from her face while asleep.

 Tyler always making customs out of everything.

 Easter egg hunt time!!

 The kids had so much fun searching that the really BIG kids wanted to do it too. So we loaded eggs with cadbury eggs and money and let Tyler and Hunter hide these eggs with the Moms help.

 Fernando really wanted these eggs!

It was so funny to watch them search for the eggs. They really wanted to caramel cadbury eggs!

Odds and Ends of Last Month

This picture cracks me up. Gracie somehow fell asleep under her bed. I don't know how she can stand to sleep with so little room. She even has all her blankets with her too.

 The girls wanted pictures taken! I love Gracie's Kissy lips.

 Lucy is good at giving me this look.

 I can't wait for school to be over. I won't have to deal with making kids do their homework for a couple of months anyways. Don't let the smile deceive you he is not happy to do his homework most days anyway.

 Hunter and Mason earned their Wolf badge last month for cubs. We had them "wolf" down a mini pie to get their badges.

Here is Hunter receiving his badge. I can't believe in a couple of months he will be a Bear. Where does the time go...

Tyler is getting some of his activity badges.
