Summerfest

Okay, so our Summerfest activity for this year was the parade. I'm not a big fan of parades...sitting in the heat for hours isn't my idea of a celebration. It's one of those things I do just because the kids like it, and I'll get some good pictures out of it. Anyway, the first couple pictures are taken before the parade started. When kids are happy and such. The last two pictures show Andrew getting bored and deciding to enlist the help of his cousin Tanner to see how much trouble the two of them could cause. Yes, that's right, they are running around in circles and could care less about the parade going down the street. We had one tired boy by the time we got home that night!!

Late post for Mother's Day

I know, I know...Mother's Day was over a month ago. I have not downloaded any pictures until today. But I had to post these pictures because I love Maddie's outfit. The Mother's Day pictures were about the only ones where she actually left her bow on her head...and that was the best "present" I could have gotten for Mother's Day!! And the family picture I just couldn't resist posting. While it isn't the best picture, I couldn't resist Andrew's sassy little response when he was told to smile. If that isn't a forced smile, I don't know what is!!

Thanksgiving Point Gardens

My parents invited my kids and Whitney's kids to Thanksgiving Point to look at the tulips. It was pretty fun for them...Andrew especially loved riding in the wagon with cousin Holly. Both Whitney and I learned that if you turn a two year old loose in such wide open spaces, you may never catch them again!!!

Can't keep up

Okay, I know it's been over a month since I've posted anything. I found a little note from Nie reminding me just how long it's been. Thanks for that. I guess the month has just gone by so fast with Matt getting out of school, and then him leaving town for a week. Let me explain what it's like trying to find time to post...I turn on the computer, and little Andrew demands that he play his games on the computer. And on top of that, Maddie's new favorite game is to run to the stairs while I'm on the computer and try to make it to the top before I can get there to stop her. I'd let her do it if she actually knew how to get back down by herself. But no...she seems to think she can walk down the stairs like an adult. We went shopping in Park City this week so we could visit Matt while he was at his conference. Andrew was so excited to go to Park City, and I was convinced it was because he really wanted to see his dad. Come to find out, his idea of PARK city was a city filled with parks to play on. Needless to say, he was slightly disappointed with the day of shopping I had planned for us.
