24th of July

The boys are always so excited for July because we can do fireworks on the 4th for Independence Day and the 24th for Pioneer Day. The 24th was a Sunday this year, so we went to Church, hung out, had a BBQ with a yummy dessert, and lit off some fun fireworks.

Dressed Up Boys

My boys always look so nice when they are dressed up. They always want me to take a picture of them looking so nice too! This was a couple weekends ago before a family baptism.

DIY Splash Pad

A couple weekends ago, during Mike's drill weekend, the boys and I decided that we wanted to run through the sprinklers. It was a hot day and we didn't really want to go anywhere, and since we now have a backyard, that needs watered, we can just run through the sprinklers in the backyard. The boys had so much fun! And it was a dream come true for me.

4th of July, 2016

We had a fun 4th of July weekend. I went to work early on Friday and left a noon and got all our shopping done.

On Saturday, Mike woke up with Strep, so while the boys and I headed to the Movie Theater to see Finding Dory, Mike went to the instacare to get meds. After the movie, we went to lunch with Mike's mom and then did some shopping at the closing Sports Authority store.  We cleaned out the boys' room and got rid of some toys.

On Sunday, we went to Church and then relaxed at home in our back yard with a fire and s'more cones. They were yummy.

On Monday, we went swimming at Camp Williams, shopping for flip flops for the boys and then did fireworks and early to bed!  Gavin and Greyson loved swimming, but Garett didn't really care for it. It was a fun weekend, one that we will remember!

Allergies

My poor Greyson has bad allergies. We think we have it all under control, then the red, puffy, swollen eyes come back.

Jackson Hole Camping

At the end of June, we went camping with my family around Jackson Hole. The boys were so excited and loved camping. We went hiking up to Granite Falls and spent an afternoon in Jackson. Our Durango Battery also died several times while camping, which was not fun. But we had a fun time, and the boys are asking if we can go again.

Backyard Remodel

So this came on really fast. Mike found someone that would clear out our backyard for $10 and that happened a couple weeks ago, and then we decided to do the patio and Sod super fast because the next couple weeks are super crazy, and then we are in to July and August and that is too hot to lay sod, then we are in Fall and Mike is leaving for training, so it was now or never. Now we have a back yard. Hopefully the sod doesn't die, and we have a nice back yard to sell our house with next year.

If you don't remember what the backyard looked like before we totally scrapped it out, here is that post, with a lot of tumbleweeds. So here is a photo gallery of our back yard doings.
