Kids play at Wild West Park with Cousins

Victoria's first Pigtails!

4th of July

For the 4th of July we had a lot of family come to visit us!  Angela recently moved into a home in salt lake county that has a fabulous view of the valley, so we spent the 4th of July at their house.  We had a barbecue and the kids ran around having a ball with their cousins and we played with glowsticks set off some fireworks and then to top that all off we watched all of the many fireworks going off around the valley.  It was quite a show!!  We could see fireworks going off in every direction we looked...including over the house as their neighbors were also setting off fireworks.  It was so much fun. 

Tory and Toys

Tory loves playing with toys.  Sometimes when she has been very quiet for a while, I will discover her somewhere playing very contentedly with a toy.  She will spend quite a while with one particular toy and is super patient in trying to figure out how something works. 

Ayden takes swimming lessons

Ayden loves the water.  He had a blast taking swimming lessons this summer and he already thinks that he is absolutely proficient and very much protests having to wear a life jacket in the water anymore.  Every time we go to 7 peaks water park, he thinks it is outrageous that he still has to wear a life jacket!  =)

Chris plays Soccer!

Chris did a great job in Itty Bitty this summer.  He had a really great time and joined in with all of the other kids.  He actually prefered the obstacle courses the teachers would set up for them and playing "tiger in the basket" to playing the actual soccer games, but he had a really fun time.
