It's coming...

Mommy says: "New Post coming SOON!"

JULY!!!

July started off just as crazy as it's ending, but we have had loads and loads of fun. Cute pictures of all our adventures.

It was so fun to walk in to get the kids ready for bed and find Kamryn reading them all a story about tractors.

First- was the 'Cruise In' We look forward to the car parade every year. This year my dad joined us in trying to win the '65 GTO, but alas a couple from SLC won it this year. We had fun getting to see all the cars at the fairgrounds before the parade and hear Grandpa's stories about what he remembered about all the different cars. Thanks for coming Dad, we loved havin ya there!

Kaden, Kamryn and Kyler, all had fun too!

Next it was off to Uncle Matt's and Aunt Becca's on the real 4th of July for a BBQ and Fireworks! This is becoming a tradition and we had a GREAT time. Thanks guys!

Gary and Kyler Checkin out Uncle Matt's new bike! SWEET!

Keaton loving the fireworks, and dad tickling him.

CUTIE.

Kyler loves pictures of him and Keaton- he is always making that face- love it!

Kamryn joined in the fun.

On the 17th Kamryn and Jessica were able to walk in the Day's of 47 Youth Parade! When we were 8 ish Rachael and I were able to walk too, so it was lots of fun to have them in it together- Thanks Mom! This is Taylor and Kaden all ready for the parade and any candy that would be thrown- too bad no one threw anything.

Mom, Kamryn and Jess- Totally cute Pioneers!

After the Parade- "it was the farthest I've ever walked"!

Kaden and Kyler after.

We went to my mom's and dad's after the parade and got pictures of Tyson and Keaton together. I love the look on Tyson's face, it looks like Keaton did something mean.

We had to be at the parade by 9:30 am so we left from Logan early. Needless to say everyone was tired!

We've been able to get outside now that the temperatures have finally soared and got some picture of all the boys on the patio.

Totally my favorite picture of all the boys- just waking up!

Rachael and Phil got us tickets to a Bee's game- they also got us tickets for hamburgers, hotdogs and chips and drinks. THANK YOU! We had fun and got to watch the fireworks after. I did not see much of the game in between getting the food for my crew, a screaming baby and a hungry one too! But the fireworks after were awesome!

Keaton did not tolerate the noise of the loudspeaker. Poor Kid.

Jessica and Kamryn- they had a blast!- Oops I just deleted the picture of Kaden and Taylor, they had fun too. Thanks to Uncle Randy for buying Kaden some fries so he did not starve!

We were able to take Jessica and Taylor home with us after the Bee's game. The following pictures are of them on Sunday at Gary's mom's house. Uncle Greg loves to tease and pester- enjoy the pictures.

Keaton- lover.

On Monday we went and check out the new splash pad in Providence with Angie and the kids. Cute picture of Porter and Kyler.

Kamryn and Jessica enjoying the water.

Kaden and Taylor also had a fantastic time- I love that I caught Tay with both feet off the ground!

July sure has been fun! We have also spent lots and lots of nights at the ward garden-weeding, tilling and pickin peas. Garden's sure are fun, but need lots of attention. SO Thanks to everyone for planning and inviting us to lots of fun things in July- we sure have lots of great MEMORIES!

A GrEaT Weekend!

Get ready for lots of cute and fun pictures! We went to Bear Lake on Saturday and had a BLAST! Rachael and Phil let us have Taylor and Jessica for a couple of days and so we took full advantage of "buddies" and headed east. We got there just after lunch after a few extra stops in the canyon due to Kamryn being super car sick and threatening to "throw-up". We found a good place for the chairs and umbrella and settled down for a great day! Gary took the kids out to the sand bar which was much farther out this year than last thanks to all the rain. The water is about waist level for about 50 yards. It was perfect weather and the kids had a blast. After playing in the water and on the floaters, they then devised a river way in the sand and could have stayed a lot longer playing and moving sand. But, I was starving and we left for dinner. We ordered our food at Quick and Tasty and took it to the church across the street to eat in the shade and after eating EXCELLENT food. The kids and Gary played soccer while I fed Keaton. We then loaded up in the van and made it home. It was a fantastic day and a great weekend!

Jess and Kam- having fun!

Posing with sand- a must.

Kaden is in to taking pictures with mean faces right now- enjoy!

Kyler had a great time in the sand/rocks.

River way

Fun pictures

more of their digging

doesn't the water look great?

SO Cute! Kaden had to have sand in his hands.

On Sunday we went to meet Rachael to let her have Jess and Taylor back and we met at the Nursing Home my Grandma is in, so we could see her and get pictures with the new babies. When we walked in she was in her wheelchair asleep and it took a lot of tries to get her to wake up (it was about 7:20 pm) So while we were waiting I let Kyler hold Keaton in his stroller and he was SO excited!

Kamryn and Jess waiting patiently and wearing their matching shirts from Grandma Sorenson.

Not enough patience on my part, so I took pictures of all the kids with Grandma.

Now awake and transfered to her recliner... much easier to do pictures with babies.

Grandma and Keaton

After seeing Grandma, her nursing home is right next to a school with a playground so while babies were fed the older kids were able play!

Love this shirt from Target!

Kamryn posing.

Keaton and Tyson getting changes into PJ's.

Cute Tyson. On my camera this picture came first and then the next one of Keaton and switching from Tyson to Keaton with his chubby cheeks sure made us laugh.

He certainly doesn't miss many meals. Such a cute and GREAT baby! I told him the other night if all babies were like him we would have 10!

On Monday night we went to do some service at the Bishop's/ Ward garden and Keaton was just as good as ever.

The garden.

Kamryn weeding- she loves it (LOL)

Kaden- with a real smile.

We sure had a great weekend. We will take Jess and Taylor any time. We sure wish we could have had Tanner, Savanna, Olivia and Isabella with us too. It would have been a perfect day. Soon we will have to have Tyson and Paxton come also, when their mommies think they are big enough to spend the night!
