TOUCHDOWN!!

Caleb started flag football this year and he is LOVING it, loving it is a understatement this kid has a football in his hand now 24/7 and Quinn and him are constantly running plays mostly in my house!! He is working very hard at becoming fast and catching. His coach called me the other day to tell me that he is the best hussler and listener, keep up the good work buddy!!

REALLY MY BABY IS IN PRESCHOOL!!

My baby just started preschool!! I begged and pleaded with Quinn not to make me put her in Preschool this year but obviously you can see who won this fight! I was soooo sad that morning I cried when I did her hair, when she was getting dressed and when I dropped her off (all with out her seeing of course). She was so scared the whole week before she would tell everyone she was "going to school but my Mommy is staying with me" So the night before I came up with a plan, it was going to be hard enough dropping her off let alone if she was screaming for me so I told her if she would go to school all by herself and not cry I would let her pick any toy she wanted when she got home and it worked!! She loved school did not cry once, and loves her teacher. So of course we went and picked out the toy and then went to lunch with Papa and Grandma and then went and got Ice Cream. When she got home I asked her if she made any new friends and she said yes, so I was all excited and I said what is her name and she responds my teacher Mrs. Aldridge! This girl loves adults, kids not so much, maybe she will be real mature when she is older!! The next time she went to school I went and picked her up and the first thing she says is "let's go get another toy I did not cry today" we quickly had to put that to a stop!!

I love this one, it is in her classroom and look how excited she is!! They got to bring show and tell so what girl does not want to show off her lip gloss!!

She is such a poser, I told her to smile and here are all the poses she comes up with

BRIDAL VEIL FALLS

Wow, we have been with no internet for like a month, how did we ever survive before..lol!!

So once a month we have decided to take the 5th wheel out and visit all different campgrounds here in Utah. So we went to one in Provo it was really nice and after dinner we up to Bridal Veil Falls. Quinn and Caleb hiked up to the top but me and Miss Peyton stayed at the bottom and splashed in the water below!!

My stud of a son

Of course he has to take his shirt off, it wasn't like the water up there is not FREEZING or anything! He really thinks taking his shirt off lately is cool!!

My two little buddies

REALLY 1st GRADE!

So it's official he is growing up and there is nothing I can do!! My little buddy just started 1st grade, we put him in the public school this year because he wanted to be with all his buddies and frankly Mom was tired of driving him 20 min there and back and the monthly payments are nice to lose as well. He has loved every second of it and he is sooo excited to ride the bus. That could have been the scariest thing I have ever done putting your little boy on the bus and hoping they will return him to you. Luckily he made it home and meet some new friends and loves his teacher!!

Looking good,

they had to wear red for the 1st day.

HAPPY 24TH OF JULY!!

We had a fun little 24th of July we went to the Bountiful Parade with our friends, did the awesome carnival after, and then went to Muller Park to watch the fireworks!! We live in an amazing country and I am so thankful for all the men and women who fight for our country!! Thank you all!!

Kam, Hailey, Peyton and Caleb

Waiting for the good stuff to be thrown out, I think we managed to come home with about 5,000 salt water taffys. Although we were sitting here first and then it just so happened that we ended up having about 10 kids right in front of our kids and then of course stealing all the candy from them. So the mean Mom in me came out and went fighting for the kids to get some candy! We scored I got 3 free kids meals for Texas Roadhouse!! So kids stay in your own designated spots and there will not be a problem!!

Love these kids watching the parade

Every time I have the camera out Peyton always makes sure I take a picture of just her and then has to inspect it after. Can we call her conceded yet?

The family at the fireworks and Caleb showing off his "tattoo"

Don't call it a tattoo to him though. They were painting faces and so I asked him if he wanted one and he was like "well are they considered a tattoo because I don't want my Grandma and Grandpa (quinn's parents) mad at me!" It was to funny so it is just a painting of a shark!!

CHERRY HILL!!

With Caleb starting school soon we decided to do one last family vacation, so we took our trailer up to Cherry Hill and spent the night. We got there and it was (I swear) like 40 MPH winds and pitch black sky's but we braved it and got in the water and 5 min. into us swimming they booted everyone out due to lighting. So we went back to the trailer and chilled for about 45 min and then headed back out and the rest of the day was nice. Then we had some yummy dinner and ice cream and then went mini golfing. While we were there Quinn's cousin was there with her family so the kids played at the park all night with their glow sticks then we came back to the trailer and watched a movie and then went to bed. It was a fun little getaway for us!!

This was during the time we got kicked out and it was an absolute downpour for about a min so we had to take cover!!

The kids and their daddy enjoying the lazy river

Caleb with his second cousin Drew. I love this picture it is like they are holding the world in their hands.

All the cousins with their glow sticks, I am not sure my kids know how to make a normal face!!
