July

July flew by so fast, and I never got around to posting any of our pictures. So, here they are in one BIG post.  This summer is crazy, but we are having a great time!


The kiddos are pretty good at entertaining themselves.....so silly!

Nixon loves talking on the phone even if there is no one on the other end.  This "phone call" lasted 20 minutes. He was "calling" daddy at work.

Boston dressed up as "my favorite kind of Coke".....Diet of course!

This kid might not be ready for markers :)

He LOVES Legos!!!

Boston was practicing to be a cheerleader. She kept yelling "Give me a B, Give me a Y, Give me a U!!!"

Boston was pretending to be a wolf

 We have had lots of fun with friends:

These two are so stinkin cute together!

We helped Nana AND Bumpa celebrate their 60th birthdays:

We celebrated Pioneer day by having a indoor picnic for FHE and watching "17 Miracles"

We did lots of chores....the kids loved it! :

Nixon finally caught on to why me and Boston like making cookies :)

The first product of our garden

Boston made her own bed (I usually do it). I think she needs a few more pillows...LOL

It's been a great month!!

Bring on August!!!

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 !
