Swimming in the Back Yard

We have been trying to have Gwyn over as much as we can to play since she is moving to California. We decided to have the kids swim in the back yard. Kellye's kids came too. We put the sprinkler under the tramp and filled up two little pools. We taught the kids how to play dodge ball too. They had a great time playing that forever.

Playing at the Park

We had someone coming to look at our house between 6:00-8:00 pm which was right during dinnertime so we decided to go to the park and have pizza. The Wards came along as well. The kids had a great time swinging and playing on the toys. We brought along Gwyn. We are trying to hang out with her as much as possible since they are moving soon to California. Melissa and Colten had been packing all day and hadn't gotten Gwyn ready - which is totally understandable. Melissa said I wasn't allowed to take pictures since Gwyns hair wasn't done. I did anyway - who cares right? We all have our busy days that we can't get the kids ready. She is cute anyway. Afterward we went and got ice cream at Maceys.

Nash loved to swing and didn't want to get off.

Kenya liked the swing at first until she came forward and bumped her mouth on the swing. She wasn't loving that anymore.

Mallory and her cheesy smile.

Everyone had a swing to swing on. Mallory learned how to pump by herself.

4th of July

For the 4th of July we had a picnic at a really nice park in Springville with the Rogers family. We decided to hang with them since Colten & Melissa would be leaving sometime soon. We barbecued hamburgers, played on the playground, rode bikes, played in the creek, played some football, and games. Afterward we headed home and went to the Wards and watched fireworks. It was a fun, beautiful day with family. I always enjoy the whole month of July.

Nice shades Gwyn!

Adelie, Nash & Mallory going down the slide. Adelie made sure to watch Nash and go on the toys with him - she is his little mother.

Grandma & Grandpa Parry, Scott & Natalie, & Craig and Cindy also came.

Nash had so much watermelon - he was downing it so fast!

Nash, Morrison, & Lacey. Nash LOVES dogs - he calls them "bah-bah!" He says it in a cute deep little voice.

Kenzi & Robi chilin.

Joel & the boys were playing football.

My friend Kaylee's family was at the same park as we were and we shared the big pavilion together, so she came on a bike ride with us.

The firework show has begun - thanks Jon!

The kids were loving it!

I got them snap'n'pops and they loved them.

Sleepover with Cousins

We had Kynli & Gwyn sleep over. The kids had a great time with two of their cousins. They watched a movie, ate popcorn, and slept in the playroom. In the morning Brett made them all pancakes - their favorites! This was the first time having Gwyn sleep over and they just loved every minute of it. They treated her as if she were a royal guest in our home - it was funny!

All tuckered out!

Say cheese!

Nash and the nice scrape on his head.

Our First Time at SF Reservoir

Angela invited everyone to go to the reservoir with her. She went at 11:00 am but I wasn't feeling well in the morning and so we didn't make it until about 3:00 pm. It was our first time going to the reservoir and we had such a great time! Who knew that Spanish Fork had its own little beach. It is a fun place and the best part is it's free.

Isn't he the cutest?

Brett was taking turns with the kids and taking them out on the raft for a fun ride.

This is the group that went - the Copes, Andersons, Rogers, and Wards. The Duvalls were there earlier but left a little after we got there.

The kids had a great time building sandcastles.

Nash just relaxed and went on every ride - he loved it.
