Special day with Eli- Classic fun center

Had fun taking Eli to Classic Fun Center for a special day!  He loved it!

He was kinda scared to crawl into the t-rex's mouth.

But he did.  Here he is just about to go down the slide.

Then we went to Macey's for ice cream.  Yum!

Field Trip to Manilla Pond

Oh boy, this place was SO FUN!  The kids loved getting wet, and messy, and playing in the sand.  They could have stayed there playing all day!  It was great!

  

Heading to church.

We were waiting for Breanne to come out, so I pulled out my camera and tried to get a few shots of the boys all dressed up to go to church.

Then Breanne came out.

And we headed to church.  Such cuties!

Brigham, 10 months.

So cute.

Field Trip to Mrs Fields Cookies

We drove up to Salt Lake again, this time to tour the Mrs. Fields Cookie Factory.  It was fun and interesting and at the end, we got cookies!  Yum!

Plus, we all got to be super stylish in these awesome hair nets. 

Yeah, he ripped it off as soon as I let go of his hands.  :)

The gang.

Couldn't be more proud!!!

Jared asked Josh if he would give our Family Home Evening Lesson, and he did such a good job!  We couldn't have been more proud.  He did everything... read the lesson, drew the pictures, and delivered the message.  It was great.  I can't believe he is getting so big.  A part of me wants them to grow up and be able to do more for themselves, and a part of me wants them to stay little forever.  I guess that is why I take so many pictures, I'm trying to hold on to memories like this one forever!

Special Day with Josh ~ Mini Golfing

SO much FUN!  I love miniature golf...."It's Golf in Minature!" -Phineas  (From one of my favorite shows, Phineas and Ferb on Disney Channel.)  Anyway, we really did have fun, and we even saw Uncle Brent and Aunt Kirstie while we were there.  Josh was a natural, and he had a blast too.

Bonus...Mom got him a few tokens for the arcade there!!

Field Trip to the Library

Always a fun one.....

This pic cracks me up.

"ROAR!"

Then we went to Macey's for Ice Cream!  Yum!! (This pic also cracks me up!  HA! HA!  Oh what a cutie!)

"Happy Birthday to me....."

Yup!  Every July!  I love having a summer birthday, because it is evenly spaced between Christmas's.  Plus, while I was growing up, we would always have a big water party, and it was always so fun.  This year, we had a family party first.  Thank you to everyone for coming, and for all the wonderful gifts! 

Then we had a little close family party, where Jared and the kids gave me their presents.

One of the things Jared got me was a docking station for my Ipod, so we can finally listen to the music on there.  I love it!  Plus, we had to try it out that night, which turned into a dance party!  It was so fun! 

The kids dancing.

The best was dancing with my wonderful husband.  Love you Jared, thanks for a great Birthday!

Then, we went out on my actual birthday.  (Thanks to Melissa for tending!)

We went to Olive Garden, which was DELICIOUS!  But it was the night of one of those crazy summer down pours!!  And we were soaked just from coming in from the parking lot!  It just makes it more memorable though.  We had a good laugh about it.

It didn't help that right when I walked under the awning, the wind picked it up, and dumped like two buckets of water on me!  I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.....and got soaked! 

Then we went BOWLING! 

Haven't done this in years!  But thanks to playing Wii sports bowling, I wasn't too bad at it.  And both Jared and I got a few strikes.

The night ended with this beautiful sunset!  I love the sunsets we get here sometimes.  One of the perks to the storm that hit. 

It was a wonderful birthday!  I'm so excited to see what the next decade brings for me.  I have such a wonderful family and so much to be grateful for.
