Marshmallow Guns...

My dad made these guns that shoot mini marshmallows one afternoon for my kids. They LOVED them and what an awesome idea!
They yard was covered with marshmallows by the end of the battle!

We took some up to Bryce's family reunion and what a hit they were there too!

Playn' at the Park...

Nothing like a dogs tail wagging you in the face to brighten your day!

Have I mentioned that Brady LOVES dogs? Well, he does!

This little cutie is taken! I'm officially speaking for her for Landon!
She lives next to my little sister and she is darling!

What would an afternoon at the park be without a snow cone stop to follow?


She may kill me, but I couldn't resist! She was the cutest pego ever and I just love this belly shot of my little sis about 3 weeks before she had her little princess Vivi.

Landon's 9th Birthday!

We went here for lunch...

Despite the look on Chase's face... they all loved it!

"The Karate Kid"... The new favorite movie!

Birthday cake #1 up at the mountain

Birthday cake #2 at Papa's

Landon LOVES sports! His fav right now is football. The kid can talk sports with the best of them... all his uncles! He knows all the players and teams and anything you need to know. Every year he does fantasy football with Bryce and all his co-workers. The Dr's there expect him now to join in every year.
He has more energy than any of us know what to do with!
Landon can talk trash with the best of them... again, his uncles! It's so funny to listen to all of them together!
He is the sweetest kid when he want to be and in those moment it's the BEST!
Happy Birthday Buddy!

Hangin' with the Haslem's...

We obviously spent A LOT of time with family while we were home... in fact that's all we did! It was so nice to see everyone and do all the things together that my family usually misses out on living so far away. We spent some nights up at Bryce's family's mountain property doing a lot of the following...

Chase would live off of watermelon if we let him!

Hanging out around the camp fire

We saw a lot of these around the area...
BEARS!

Four wheeling is a favorite among the kids

Besties... these two were MADE for eachother!

This last one was obviously not taken up at the mountain. Kailey turned 12 this summer and she had this huge slide set up for her birthday party. All the cousins were lucky enough to get to come over after all the friends had gone home and have some time going down it. It was so much fun! The kids had a blast!

4th of July Celebrations

We had a full day celebrating the 4th. The day always starts at the Provo City Parade. We usually don't stay for the entire thing, but we always at least have to make an appearance. It so fun to see old neighbors and friends there!

The grandkids in attendance + Papa

The second my older brother showed up my kids were all over him to buy them some cotton candy! They talked him into it!


What would the 4th be without some fireworks?! My little sis invited us over to her neighborhood for their annual "Cul-de-sac of Fire"

Chase, Landon, and Fisher
My boys want a dog SO bad! Can't wait to move home so they
can play with this one whenever they want and I don't have to clean up after him!
