Deer Creek

Last Friday we headed up to Deer Creek for the first time. Desiree' and her kiddos meet us up there to play too.
Brylee absolutely loves the water. She wants her jacket on and as soon as its on she tries to climb out of the boat or slide off the back.We are going to have to keep an eye on her. Here Eric is trying to let her see what it's all about.

Cute cousins. They didn't really want to be in the water but they like to sit on the back and put there feet in.

We talked Maycee to get in and Desiree' we give her a piggy back ride. (First she had done it with Hudson) I am not sure she knew that Maycee was going to try and drown her.

Kimberlen thought another boat was getting a little too close.

Maycee was floating on a life jacket all by herself.

Desiree' trying to get Brylee to just like it.

Eric's girls. This was toward the end after Desiree' had left. We were just cruising around.

We really liked Deer Creek. It was clean and not very crowded, at least while we were there.

Zoo

We took the girls to the zoo 2 weeks ago to do something a little more family friendly. It was a rainy morning so we thought that would help keep things cool. Well it made it humid too.
The famous Elephant photo op.

Baby Zuri. She really is supper cute. I think Eric and I could have sat and watched her for most of the time. She is very active and playful.

The giraffe's are just plain neat.

This tiger was not too happy. He kept pacing back and forth along the fence starring at everyone. Maybe he was just trying to spot a meal.

My little monkey's.

And my big Gorilla.

I love how they just let so many different birds just roam around.

Carousal.

Brylee wasn't too sure about it at first but then she thought it was pretty neat.

Although, I think this was her favorite part of the whole day. She sure loves Slurpee's, and yes she drank almost the whole thing by herself.

YUBA

A few weeks ago we went down to Yuba Lake for our friends 30th Birthday. Here are some pictures on the boat.

Birthday Boy BJ taking his turn on the wake board.

Kimberlen loves to jump in and swim

My turn wake boarding.

My sweet baby fell asleep, but she is still holding on.

Maycee girl keeping watch on every one.

Karri's first time up on the wake board.

We had a fun day, but the lake is kinda dirty and the beach had "pokies" on it.

4th of July Holiday

This year our holiday extended over many days and we had a blast. I wanted to share all the pictures but I had too many.
To start off Friday Desiree' and the kids came out. They played in the water and afterwards we went to the Riverton Parade. We thought is was going to be short and sweet, but at the two hour mark we realized that wasn't happening. I was a really good parade.
Saturday My friend Karri and her boys came to spend the day. We played in the water all day had a BBQ that night and followed it up with Riverton's Firework show. They did a good job at those too!
Sunday we called it our relax day and I don't think we did anything.
Moday morning we got up early and headed to Grandma Robins to go to the Layton Parade. We had a fun time there, but the parade was a little lame. After the parade the kids played on some of the bounce toys and rode the kiddy train. The girls got a motorcycle ride. Maycee even asked to go this year. Last year she was scared. We ended the day with some more water for the kids and a BBQ at Desiree's.

Thanks to you all that helped make this year memorable.

It's What FUN Is!!

Grandma Robin took us (minus the babies and hubbies) to Lagoon for her work's Lagoon Day, and let me just tell you we had a GREAT experience. Kimberlen was a bit big for some of the kiddie rides so she and I did a few of the big kid rides. I wish we could have had the camera there for every ride to capture the looks on the girls' faces. Maycee just kept saying "I love this place, Thanks Mom, This is great" over and over all day. This was her first time experiencing Lagoon and amusement rides.

I have to say that this was one of my favorites. We went on the Tidal Wave and sat across from each other. Without out saying anything Maycee had her arms up in the air instantly. She would hold her arms up any chance she got. Grandma had to put her hand on her legs to keep her butt on the seat.

Hudson tried to let go, he got one arm up. And Kimberlen finally got brave enough at the end of the ride.

The swings were fun, but Kimberlen liked the big ones a lot better. I am not sure I loved them too much.

Here we go on the music express...faster and faster and Maycee raising her arms up again. Crazy girl.

Kiddie boat. Slow enough to get some pictures. Thanks Desiree for deleting yours! (BRAT)

Again Kimberlen too big, Hudson is in front of her. Maycee and her new friends. She didn't care who she rode with or what type of character/plane/boat she rode in she was just happy to ride.

The train. Maycee and her hat. She wore it all day, minus on the ride so she wouldn't get sunburned and it worked great.

Random Rides.

Thanks again Mom for a very unforgettable day. Now if Maycee would stop talking about it every day we could get back to normal. Well our normal.

Getting things done

We've been making progress all around the house lately. Here are a few things that have been going on.

The Basement is getting painted. Just have a few more walls in the girls rooms and they will be done. Then its on to the carpet and we might just be finished.

We took a break after working one day and played with some friends on the tramp that we temporarily moved to the patio.

Maycee decided she was big enough to feed Brylee. They both ended up messy, but it was fun.
Uncle Cory turn 29, Happy Birthday to him.

One of the biggest things we got done was the hole got dug for the tamp and we put it in the ground.

It is just wonderful! It is so nice not to worry about the kids falling off. And Brylee thinks she is pretty neat being able to get on and off by herself.

We have put curbing in and planted a few trees and bushes, so therewill be more pictures to come as the progress continues. It is just nice to get a little break from all the construction.
