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!

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.

Mother's Day

For Mother's day this year, we went to a movie and say The Jungle Book. The boys loved it and Garett even stayed in the theater the whole time. It was great to spend time together. I got my phone for Mother's day (see next post) and it was a great weekend spent with my family. I'm glad I get to spend time with them and that they make me be the best mom I can be (on most days)!

Zoo Field Trip

Gavin had his 1st Grade Field Trip to the Zoo last Friday. It was his first time on the school bus and he had so much fun. I am glad that I got to go with him. We saw all the animals and ate lunch together and drove back to the school from the bus.

Gavin's Birthday

Last Week, Gavin turned 7 years old. What! So crazy. So on Wednesday (was his birthday) he woke up to balloons in his room, we went to Waffle Love for Breakfast before school, got Krispie Kreme Doughnuts to take to School and he went to school. I came to his room with the doughnuts later that afternoon and we had pizza for dinner and made Blue Velvet Cupcakes with Orange frosting. And he had one of the cool flower singing candles.

On Saturday we went to Provo Beach Resort in Provo and played Laser Tag, Bowling, in the fun play area, lots of arcade games, and Mini Croquet. We spent all day there from 11am to 6:30 and ate lunch there. We had Dinner at IHOP. It was a fun day spent with our family and the Birthday Boy!
