Utah- Part 4

Sunday after church we decided to take the kids up the canyon for a little fresh air. It was so incredibly beautiful. It makes me wish I lived only 10 minutes from a beautiful place like this. The cousins all had a fun time exploring and just being kids.

 

Love this picture!

 

Look at that cute face!!!

Utah- Part 3

One of the things that I love most about Utah is that the kids get to spend time with my extended family... including my grandparents. I love that my kids are developing relationships with their great grandparents.

One day while in Utah Aidan wanted to help my grandpa who was out working in the garden. Grandpa Laci put him right to work organizing rope :) (and of course Grandpa paid him for his help which is a perk!)

 

Grandpa and Aidan

 

Brinn and Elli decided they wanted to help out and they got to work sweeping.

We were able visit with my grandma Johanson. So fun to see her and catch up with her!

Utah- Part 2

These pictures are spread over several days and pretty much are pictures from all our water/ park days!

 

Tuck was really enjoying these fries. I love the look on his face of, "Don't you even think about taking some of these fries from me."

 

Splash Pad Fun!

 

We came to play on the toys... everyone went home soaked! Oh well, that's what summer's all about.

 

No way is this kid going to let a sling stop him...

 

Okay, so now we are on to splash pad #2... I couldn't resist this picture.

The only thing Tucker wanted to do was GET OUT!

These two were in heaven!

 

Okay, so I couldn't resist these pictures either...:)

 

Holli and little Dallas came with us... we can't wait till Dallas is running and splashing right along (and as we all know, it doesn't take long.) (Okay, as another side note... is he just not the cutest little guy! Man, I love that boy... and his momma!) 

Utah- Part 1

This summer we were able to take a trip to see my sisters, their families, and my extended family.(So be ready for upcoming post-overload of vacation pictures.) First stop we made was at In-N-Out. It looks like it was a hit for all. (And, yes David was there but he would not wear his cool hat so I said "Sorry Charlie. No hat, no picture!;)")

Yes...

...I am that mom that grabs her camera, while the baby is stuck in a weird awkward spot. 

Obviously he is thrilled by me doing nothing. :)

Let the summer begin!

A few days after school got out the kids were board... so we whipped out the handy dandy water balloons and went at it.
