When your child is having a meltdown....
...find the humor in a ninja gnome watching her from behind. hahaha
Sleepy Cap is also a very good traveling companion.
Gammie's stake did a carnival for the Family Place. The kiddos got to play games and get prizes.
Tytan got a lightning bolt painted on his cheek.
Kenlee got a black kitty!
Jordyn got a purple butterfly!
Kenlee got invited to her first late night girls party by her friend Maci. They watched an American Girls movie and ate lots of junk food. She came home in Maci's clothes because she slipped and fell in a pool. That's my girl! hahaha
Happy Father's Day Blake! He got his gift a few days early but I don't think he minds. His little table top grill had seen better days and he needed a man sized grill to take care of this family.
We tested the grill out with grilled pizza. Yummy! It was so delicious. We love hanging out in the backyard together!
Celebrating Father's Day this year with my dad was so fun. Because most of us were not available on Sunday we all went up Smithfield Canyon to cook hobo dinners. The kids climbed the rocks/side of the mountain. They bounced on a fallen trees and had a great time. Jordyn was only temporarily injured and so I call it a success. Plus we got a great preview of what Tytan was going to do at camp this year.
Daddy rescuing Jordyn from her tiny ouch.
Yes he is my brother....sometimes.
All 5 kiddos bouncing on the tree.
Funny dirty little man watching the cars come down the road.
I guess he really liked his choice in flip flops. He fell asleep on the way home clutching them. One had sports balls on it and one had sharks. Cute boy!
My friend called one night to let me know that someone was selling her son's swimming lessons and it happened to be the same time as her kiddos. We snatched it up and Kenlee took lessons at Sky View with her good friend Cam. She loved it! She has always been a little fish, no fear of water and it was great to finally start the process of keeping her safe with water. She passed Level 2!
We took the girls to see Four Seasons Theater Company's production of Beauty and the Beast. We only made it part of the way through the show before the fire alarms went off and no one could get them to turn off for hours. Four Seasons were good enough to reissue us tickets to the show the following Monday and so we got to see the whole show then. It was fantastic!
Kenlee's favorite character was Lumar, she really wanted a picture with him! Then once she got comfortable she wanted one with the duster lady too.
Jordyn really wanted a picture with Belle. So of course the line was Disneyland long and I was really sure that we were going to wait the whole time and she was going to panic and not go see her. I was absolutely shocked when she bounced right up to her and told her that she loved her big yellow dress. Belle and her exchanged a few more compliments before Kenlee was willing to slink up and join in. Then I crossed my fingers and asked her to step back next to Belle AND the Princess for a picture (still so sure she was going to start panicking at any time) and she cozied right in! SHOCKED!!!! I was so thrilled! What an amazing experience!
Kenlee also wanted a picture with the wardrobe.... her costume was awesome!
Tytan spent the evening with Wes and Michelle while we went to the show. They all had way too much fun! As part of their evening they made this cardboard car together. Tytan loved it so much he insisted on driving himself to and from tubby time! hahahah
Kenlee's diving board day! She had no fear and jumped off as many times as she possible could!
On a Saturday morning some of us got together and hiked the Logan River Trail. The kids love it because its a simple trail they could manage and their is a fun little grassy area at the end. Kenlee ran around helping everyone and experiencing it all. Jordyn made stick and leaf soup for the colony out of the river. Tytan had a blast helping her by throwing in as many things as he could get his hands on.
After the hike and a fun trip to Jamba Juice we headed back to Gammie and Poppy's house to have a pool party in the backyard. It was a great way to cool off after a hike. The kids all had a great time with their cousins.
Our own little Captain America!
