Carnival

Andie LOVES the carnival. Anytime there is one close by we take the kids and let them go on a couple of rides. This is the one in Spanish Fork. They had a really good time even though it was REALLY HOT.

Primary Activity

I always have heard stories of when little primary kids tell their teachers everything about their parents but had never experienced it......until today. I went to go pick Andie up from her primary activity today and a couple of people told me that Andie told them something and they were wondering if it were true. Yes......yes it's true. Andie has had a seceret for a while and she has just started telling people. This is what she usually has been telling people, " My mom has a baby in her tummy and it is a girl." Yes I am expecting baby number 3 but we still don't know what it is. Andie is set on it being a girl and she really thinks it s a girl. I am 3 months so we still need to wait a little longer to find out if Andie will get her wish or not. It is so funny because she has known for weeks but hasn't said a word until this weekend. I was SO ready to tell my family so we decided to do it this weekend but Andie beat us to it. She told my sister but my sister didn't believe her. We decided to tell the family and she has been telling people ever since. I asked her if she was excited and she saiad, "not yet. I will be when your tummy gets big like Lisa's" She makes me laugh. My sister Lisa is about 29 weeks pregnant so her belly is bigger than mine and Andie loves it.

Cabin

Lisa and Garret invited us up to Garrets parents cabin for the weekend. We ended up only going for all day Saturday because Landen was working Friday night and we didn't want to miss church on Sunday. It was so much fun. Their cabin is right by Scofeild Lake. Brandon and Michelle brought their boat up. We spent most the day taking turns on the boat and relaxing at the cabin. This was the day that we told my family we were expecting baby number 3. They were excited. Later in the day we also found out that Anjali was expecting number 2. Yay. Me, Lisa and Anjali are all pregnant at the same time. These are the only pictures I got with my camera.

We had so much fun. Andie loved every minute of it and begged to spend the night. Thanks Lisa and Garret!

Camping

Landen and I decided to take our kids on their first camping trip. We camped at Jolly's ranch up Springville canyon. We went on July 5th, 6th and 7th. Everyone left on the 4th so we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. It was fun but kind of stressfull at times. Logan is to little to understand not to do certain things and when your camping their is a lot a little 1 year can't do. We decided to fence him in with some toys in this tent while we were preparing food or doing other things that would keep us from having our full atention on him. At first he didn't like it to well but he got used to it and had fun. Giving him some food to munch helped him be happy.

We took the kids to the creek to do some swimming. Once they felt how cold it was they didn't really want to do much swimming. Logan wanted out as soon as he got it. He didn't like it so much.

Andie didn't like it at first either. She liked walking in it but that was about it. She made Landen hold her hand so she wouldn't fall and get all the way wet. Playing in the water only lasted about 15 minutes but it was still fun.

The nice thing about where we were camping was there was a big play ground just around the corner. Since our kids are so small and Logan could only handle being fenced in and told no so much we took them down to the park several times. They loved going to the park.

I am totally aware of how much my kids look like orphans. I wasn't feeling well at all so I let them be dirty and let them look like no one was taking care of them. That is what camping is all about.....right?

Yes...Landen is holding lighter fluid so the fire could be huge when the camera took the picture and yes it was so hot Andie couldn't even look in that direction. Crazy parents.

Roasting marshmellows. Andie was really good at eating them

After eating all the chocolate that she could find.

We had a lot of fun for our little families first camping trip. We learned a lot too. We hopefully will be able to go again before the summer is over.

Art City Days

This year we did more of the kids activities than we had done in the past. It was a lot of fun. They had these blow up slides, popcorn and cotton candy for free right by the Jr. High. The best part was that it was free and Andie LOVES the blow up slides so we let her play there for a little bit and have some cotton candy.

We took Andie and Logan to the childrens art festival. It was raining the whole time but we still had a lot of fun. They had a lot of different things the kids could do. Andie really liked it even though it was raining.

Andie got to ride on the fire truck with her cousins for the parade. She loved it.

We went to the carnival and there was hardly anybody there so we never waited in line and they got to ride the rides twice as long. This is Andie's favorite ride. I was taking her to put her on and some how I ended up on the ride too. I just laughed the whole time and so did Andie. We just kept going and going and going becuase there wasn't anybody in line. Andie sure did like it but I was ready to get off after going in small circles over and over and over again.

Logan, Landen and Andie on the farris wheel. They really liked this one.

Art City days was a lot of fun this year. Next year we will be doing all of the kids activities again.

Childrens parade

We decided to take Andie to the childrens parade this year. She loves to ride her bike. She loved this even more because we put balloons and other decorations on her bike. She had fun seeing all of the other kids and riding her bike with them. Landen took Logan on our bike and he seemed to enjoy it as well. We had fun and we will be doing it again next year.

Pictures from May

May was such a fun month. We celebrated birthdays and spent time with friends and family.

This was so funny. Logan was playing with my cell phone and then all of the sudden he fell asleep face down on the floor.

Logan and Brea. We babysat Brea one day. Logan and Brea had fun playing together.

All bundled up sittine around the campfire.

A friend of Landen's invited us up Payson canyon to roast marshmellows. It was still cold outside but we still had a lot of fun. Andie LOVED helping them build the fire and finding the firewood.
