Lincoln is 2!!

Well my baby turned 2. His birthday was on Sunday so we didn't get to do anything super fun. He did open lots of presents thanks to the grandparents and he did do the whole birthday cake thing with his cousins. We just love this kid. He is so dang cute. He loves his Mom and Dad which we love. He is a great sleeper. He is a go getter and loves to help me around the house. He isn't the best talker yet but he gets his point across. He definitely can put up a good fight against his brother. We are so lucky to have Lincoln in our lives. We love you bud. Happy Birthday!

The end of SUMMER

I'm sad to say summer for our house has ended. Bentley starts preschool next week. We have had a great summer. We just recently went to This is the Place Park. It was soo much fun. There was so much for the boys to do. Train rides, horse rides, petting zoo, plenty of old houses to go into. We had a great time. As you can see from all the pictures.

This picture doesn't do it justice. Bentley face planted on the coffee table. Huge goose bump, then later 2 black eyes. If they would just learn how to be still.

The boys wearing our shoes. Bentley calls my boots his fireman shoes. No more tank tops for them.

Chad's work had a work party at the Real stadium. It was all the free concession food you could eat. Yes i ate until i was sick. They had games and fun stuff going on. Then when it got dark they played a movie on the mega scene. Really fun and best of all free.

Well i guess it's back to business. Farewell Summer until we meet again.

Bentley turned 4!!!

It is official my first born is growing up. Bentley had a great Birthday. He opened presents, got to go to Boon Docks for miniature golf and and go-carts, he got to ride in Uncle Ryan's Mini Cooper, did the whole birthday cake thing. Plus he got to eat at his favorite restaurant, Carl's Jr. Bentley is such a a happy kid. He is so friendly to everyone. He is very tender hearted. He loves cars, books, riding his bike and most of all Mini-Coopers. Chad got him this mini while he was in Anaheim for work at the Disney Shops. You could build your own. Bentley loves it and takes it everywhere. Bentley is a smart kid who has way too much energy. When he wakes up in the morning he is ready to go. We just love Bentley and are so blessed to have such a healthy happy boy. Happy 4th Birthday Bud.

His birthday cake with cousins. It has a tank on it. Of all the cakes he could choose from he wanted this one. (who knows why)

Present time.

Uncle Ryan and his mini. Bentley loves that thing. (plus Uncle Ryan) Every time we go to Grandmas he has to check it out. We took him and Linc for a birthday ride. They were in heaven.

Waiting in line for go-carts. Poor Linc wanted to ride soo bad but wasn't tall enough. I'm pretty sure Chad likes them as much as Bentley. He was totally messing with some teenager the whole time. Boys never grow up do they.

Miniature golf, i'm pretty sure my boys are still too young for this. They lost interest half way through. I found out i am the worst golfer ever.

August is here!

We are trying to end the summer with a bang. We have been doing lots of fun things.
- We had a sleepover at Grandma's cabin with the cousins. Lots of fun.
- We went to Boon Docks and road the cars and played video games.
-We went to Cowabunga Bay. My new favorite water park. We are totally getting a pass there next year. Anyone want to join me?
-We went to Thanksgiving Point: The Farm and Dinosaur Museum
-We went to Discovery Gateway with the cousins (i forgot my camera so no pictures of that one)
-Finally we are still working on our yard (i know we are slow) it should be done by next month.
Hope you are all having a great summer too!!

All the cousins at the cabin.

Boon Docks. Bentley's new favorite place. He wants to go back for his birthday. I'm pretty sure the go-carts has something to do with it.

Cowabunga Bay!

Chad had to till mulch into our awesome clay dirt. It started to rain hard and he kept going.

Ridin horses at the farm. Bentley loved it. Lincoln got scared and wouldn't do it.

Gotta love the Dino's

Summer Fun!

Summer continues to be amazing. We are enjoying every minute of it. We have been doing the water thing a lot. We have been to Seven Peaks, Cherry Hill and my favorite, Herriman Lake, plus a bunch of swimming pools. We are still working on our yard. On the 24th we went to a little city fair. It was fun. My family made the trip down to my house. All the cousins went to the Copper Mine. That was lots of fun. Anyways, just enjoying what is left of Summer. I can't believe it is almost August. :(

Kennnecott Copper Mine

The fair, of course the boys found cars to look at. Chad and his brother decided to fight. It was pretty funny to watch. Chad is like twice Todd's size it was a fair match.

Crazy Summer!

How come there is soo much fun stuff to do in the summer. Well Summer has been fun, busy and going by fast. This is what we have been up to. We finally got are yard torn out. The picture above is the boys watching the skid steer. They were in heaven, such boys.

We went to my parents cabin and rode 4-wheelers. It was lots of fun especially because 2 of Chad's brothers and their families joined us. I swear the boys never got off the 4-wheelers.

The 4th of July is my favorite holiday. I like it on a Sunday, then you get to celebrate it 3 days in a row. We did the usual BBQ, fireworks and parade.

How cute are the boys with their hand over their heart. I just love America.

We were lucky enough to see the tank up close on our way to the parade. The nice soldiers even let Bentley and his cousins in it.
Also Chad had a B-day! Hooray! We had lots of fun on his special day.

Sun time!
