Slowly catching up

Summer has been crazy! I haven't kept up too well on the blog but I'm going to try to do better. Summer came and went way too fast this year. These are a few things we did.....

Dinner on the 4th at grandmas is always fun.


Max caught lots of frogs!


Jonah learned to knee board


Took a fun girls trip to Tuacahn


Planted a garden



Girls camp!



Lots of swimming



Quilt camp and blue ribbons


Having fun on the boat
I was sad to see summer end but we had a great time.

Florida Keys and Miami

Justin and I took a little trip down to Florida. It was so fun! We can't wait to go back!









The resort we stayed at was so nice. Laying by the pool, reading my book, drinking my diet coke. It was heaven!




We went to an alligator farm, didn't love that so much.




Only in the south! Love it!



















We didn't plan on it but ended up leaving the keys and spent the last two nights in Miami. It was a blast! Tons of people, shops and restaurants. We loved it!

Summer so far

I haven't updated the blog for a while. Here are a few pictures of what's been going on so far.

We had a fun day watching the solar eclipse.







Next it was a broken arm for Danny. Poor guy.



We had a great day at the temple with Kyle.



Visited the new museum in Delta.



Jonah loved baseball this year. On the last game Cory let him pitch. He was so happy!


















Two trips to Lagoon in one week! It was lots of fun. The second time we left Danny and Max home but the other kids won some prizes for them so they were happy :)



Syd had another great year playing softball. She improved so much and is really loving it.



Sleeping on the tramp...



Flips on the trampoline.



Hailey flew to Arizona to stay with her cousins. She was excited I promise :)








A day at the payson pool...



Family party at the Res with Russ's boat...






And floating around in the back yard pool. Yep, we know how to have fun!

Disney Cruise Part 1

We took a great family vacation this year.  Justin and I had talked about going on a cruise for quite a while and finally decided to go for it.....and take all the kids!  It was a little crazy getting everyone ready to go but once we got there it couldn't have been better!  There was always something for the kids to do and some days we'd hardly see them at all.  We stopped in Puerto Vallarta for one day and Cabo San Lucas for two days.  It felt so nice to be in the sunshine again!

I still can't ever make my pictures be in the right order but oh well......

This is our waiter/Max's new best friend.  He was so good with the kids and they loved him.  One night the kids all had steak for dinner and when he started cutting their meat for them I decided I loved him too!

Danny had more than his share of chocolate shakes, that's for sure!

It wasn't always warm when we were out to sea but that didn't keep the kids out of the pool.

Our second day we had the character breakfast.  All the characters came around and signed things for the kids.  Then our waiter made all the kids a little character hat of their own.

                                                        Pocahontas

                                                          Alladin

                                                            Captain Jack Sparrow

                                                             Minnie Mouse

                                                               Peter Pan

                                                      The family with Mickey!

                              This was the sail away party after we got on the ship.  It was so much fun!
                                  I love all things Disney!!

                             And this is the start of many many ice cream cones!!
