Much better

I have been in the, "make it look like new" phase lately. I found this beauty at the DI. I thought I would paint it and give it a little love. I sanded it down then added a few coats of blue. The I added light dabs of cream over the blue. You can't really see it in this picture. When I downloaded the pics I did it backwards and it wouldn't let me switch them. Oh well. You get the just of it right?


After Before

Fourth of July

Usually we go to the Kaysville parade on the 4th of July. This year the parade was on a Saturday and we couldn't make it. So we decided to try the Layton parade. Let's just say the parade was by far the worst parade I have ever been to!! And that says a lot coming from me because I love parades. It was short and all it had was a bunch of high school bands. There was only two floats and a few horses. But my kids loved it. I have to say that I will never go to the Layton parade again!! Morgan loved it. He hates parades and this one was short. He says, the shorter the better lol

We got lucky and got front row seats in the middle of the intersection.

Our good friend Morgan joined us
One of two floats :)

Animal cookies anyone??

Avery found the animal cookies sitting on our computer desk. Of course she grabbed the bag from the wrong end.

Real SL

We were given some awesome V.I.P Real SL tickets!!! We have never been to a soccer game at the Rio Tinto stadium before. Not only were our seats on the second row right behind the players bench, but we got all you can eat hot dogs, hamburgers, pop corn, pretzels, Fiji water, coke products, and ice cream! It was so fun!

Here is a picture of Robbie Findley who played on team USA for the world cup.
Bay had no problem showing off her food
After the game we got to watch a great fire work show. The kids loved it.


I love the look on Logan's face

Picnic in the canyon

We headed up Farmington canyon for a picnic. It was beautiful up there. The kids played games and even came home with some caterpillars. And what would a day in the canyon be with out our dog. Parker loves being outside.

Balloon pinatas

We got together with some friends to make pinatas. It was messy but the kids loved it.

We used a mixture of flour and water

Finished product. Now we have to wait for them to dry, pop them, and add some crepe paper.

Father's day

Okay yes I am a slacker! This post is way over due. I still wanted to post about Morgan's fathers day. We call it 'Morgan day" since we have no living fathers. It's kinda like his own relaxing day. The day started off with some gifts and a card. The kids got daddy a tool box that he has been eyeing. Mommy got him a pair of pants. Trust me, if we had more money he would have gotten much more! He is such a wonderful father and deserves the BEST! Next was going to church. Always a fun adventure. This Sunday was no exception. Luckily, the kids sang a song for dad in sacrament and made him smile.

Dad wanted steak for dinner. We decided it was a beautiful day and had dinner outside.

What is steak without tator tots? lol Kids choice for dad.
