A Fun FHE

I've been searching for a fun place to go with the kids since we moved here. A friend of mine told me about this place just down the road from us. It's called Nature Park and it has an awesome splash pad for us to play in. On Monday July 7 we packed a change of clothes for the kids, some dinner and headed to the park. We used the opportunity to teach Kaily about being thankful for water and for nature. I don't know how much she got out of the lesson, she was too excited to get wet.

This is the park area, Kaily had so much fun she didn't want to leave.

4th at the Lake

We went to my grandma's trailer at Bear Lake for the weekend. Clint and Dad spent the first day painting while I visited with my mom and gram and took care of Conner. Kaily was all over the place having so much fun being with her grandparents. That night we watched as fireworks went off all around us. Both kids were awake for the fireworks, although Conner could have cared less. On Saturday we went to the lake. There were SO many people there. I seriously have never seen it that crowded. We had fun though. After Conner spent some time in the lake he went to sleep for the rest of the afternoon. Kaily had a blast. She and her dad built a sand pile that later turned into a turtle and they played out in the lake together. She thought she was in heaven. Dad took her out on the kayak and she wasn't really sure about that, so Clint went with them. We had so much fun. My Aunt Dee came up too on Saturday. Kaily loves her. She would follow her around everywhere she went. it was very cute to watch. My Aunt and I used to be very close and I think I used to do the same thing to her when I was Kaily's age. It was fun to be with everyone and enjoy the cooler weather at the lake. Thank you Mom, Dad, Aunt Dee and Gram for a great trip.

I found my camera

YEAH! I found my camera. I know I said I probably wouldn't post again this week, but b/c I found my camera I wanted to post some pictures of last month and some of this month that I have already taken. So these are of June. This is Conner's first time in a real swing. He didn't know what to think about it at first, but then he loved and cried when I took him out. This is Conner enjoying his mom feeding him some peaches. This is Conner's fist ice cream cone thanks to Dad. He kept trying to grab it out of Clint's hands and Dad finally gave in. YUM!
