Neighborhood BBQ...

We had a little neighborhood get together, It was fun, my kids love all the neighbor kids and these 2 girls love Ella, a lot of times they will come over to see her and they go in her room and play dress up with her and her clothes, it is pretty funny, I went in her room the other day and Ella had a big puff winter coat on that I have for her for the winter. It was only 100 degrees outside, I thought it was hilarious and Ella was loving it!I know I mentioned these 2 last summer, well they are still best friends and can't seem to get enough of each other, and brig is their little side kick, he loves to go wherever they are going! I am so glad we live in such an awesome neighborhood, I am getting a little sad thinking about moving one day, we never planned on living here forever and I know we can't grow in our house anymore, so it is not too far off. It is really sad for me to think about it. I wish I could take my neighbors with us wherever we go!!

 Our other neighbors have little puppies they are trying to sell and Ella absolutely loves them, she will stand at the window and say puppy, and then she just hugs them and lets them kiss her! (sorry I don't know why these pics don't rotate)

Farmington Festival Days...

Farmington Festival days started with the 3 on 3 bball tournament, Me and a couple of friends from high school decided to enter just for the fun of it and we won it!! It was awesome, mostly just because the girls we played were so serious about it and they were pretty mad when we won..

Then I did the 5k on Saturday morning, it was a really fun race. Glad I did it. Glad it's over.

Then we had the parade. I love this parade because it is like a big reunion every year, I get to see all the people i grew up with. And my kids love parades!

Oh, how my husband loves a parade!! 2nd one this year, what a trooper!

my kids and some of their cousins..

Then it was off to the park for lunch and our now annual train ride, my kids love this!

We ended the night at the park with a Colors concert and some fireworks which we actually didn't stay for, Ella had had it, but we did watch them from home and the boys were totally happy with that. We love festival days (well I do) and can't wait for next year.

Gateway Fountains...

We went to the gateway fountains with my sister Emily and her 5 beautiful girls, my boys were definitely out numbered but they still had fun with their cousins.

Everyone always says that Lexi and I look alike or they always think she is my daughter..Brig was off in his own world at first and then decided to join in on the fun..

The Ranch House for the 4th...

We went to the Ranch House in Fairview Utah for the 4th!  It was perfect weather (we even had to turn on the heater one day), perfect company, perfect food, perfect little getaway!!

Granny even came on the Rhino with us one time... She wasn't too sure about it though...

Trav bought the kids some helmets..aren't they cute..

Went Swimming...

Parley started on the slide with his dad...Then decided he would try it on his own...then didn't even need his dad to catch him...

Parley did so awesome swimming, I was so proud he would swim all by himself and didn't even want us to help him..

Had a Tether Ball Tournament...

We laughed so hard this night watching Trav and KP play tetherball, they both were pretty sore the next night and KP even rolled his ankles a couple of times, seriously so funny..
