Sundance

Last Friday Jordan had the day off, so we wanted to take the kids out to do something fun. We thought we would try something new, and decided to head up to Sundance and ride the ski lift. I think we all had our moments where it made us a little nervous (or a lot nervous)....darn heights! Still, we had a great time and it was so beautiful up there! Once we got to the top we decided to take a short hike on one of the trails.  We had never taken the kids hiking before and they weren't really prepared (Boston wore flip flops) but they really impressed me!  Even through the steep parts they kept going and they really enjoyed themselves.  We all had a great day! It is so fun to watch our kids get excited about new things!

Gotcha!

It was really bright :)

Boston was so proud of herself for making it to the top of the trail. She kept saying "I can't believe I did that". I think it gave her some confidence that she can do things that are hard, and  we tried to help her to think of trials the same way. I know she felt good about it.  She was still talking about it when she went to bed that night.....Love her !

Fourth of July

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays, and once again it was a great one.  I love hanging out in the sunshine, eating way too much yummy food, with my family. I am so grateful to live in a free country and I am so thankful for those that sacrifice so much to make it possible. We are very blessed to live in this great country!

I Love this silly girl!!!

Poor Nana Trying to cool off after Boston soaked her......

....Bumpa got revenge though :)

I love my boys!!!

June

We had such a fun June, but it was soooo busy!  I used to think that summer was filled with lazy days hanging around the house, but boy was I wrong!  With all the craziness we had such a good time, here is some of our summer fun so far:

 

Art City Days

 Silly kiddos :)

We got to meet Uncle Brandons new and so ADORABLE puppy

The Findlays came and stayed with us, and we had a really fun day together

We tried unsuccessfully to interest Nixon in potty training

Boston got her long time dreaded "Kindergarten shots"

We went to see "Monsters University"

Nixon was so excited to go that he couldn't sit still and we ended up missing most of the movie. Atleast he thinks he's seen it  :)

All this fun has made us sooooo tired!

We can't wait for more!!!
