Pancakes, Puppies & Rainbows

Can't believe a week has already passed. The time is flying by way tooo quickly. The Stephany's & Wahlstroms came over for yummy pancakes again. Afterwards while the kids were out playing some dark clouds rolled in and gave us a great Lightening storm- and then the rains came down.

Grandpa was able to get little Whitney smiling which was fun for all of us to see. Something about those cute babies and smiling that warms the heart.

If my babies were all this happy all the time I think I'd have a half dozen of them. Definitely in love with this little girl.

McKenna and Keira strutted their stuff for their photographer Tyler.

Then we took turns holding the puppies and Maddie beautified their lil heads with some bows.

After the storm the sky was adorned with 2 rainbows. It was an awesome sight-I love summer storms!

SleepOver #2

This was the big Day-the BIG Sleepover day at the Stephany's. The girls were SOOO Excited and McKenna had big plans...big Martha Stewart Plans. Craft, treats, games....it may have not turned out exactly like Martha Stewart but it was fabulous fun!

It began with games....Swimming and playing on the slip and slide and then Uncle Gregg introduced them to water fights...

Although I think he might have lost....

Tyler especially got caught up in the excitement-reminded me of myself when I was much younger.

Afterwards we had dinner and then it was time for our Craft-designing pillowcases

Keira & Maddie creative juices flowing

Tate found a couple of cars that kept his attention while we crafted

Shelly giving a little direction

and then The pajama party-4 girls in the same room....Time for sleeping?

The finished product dried-New pillowcases!

McKenna was introduced to Rollerblading and much to my delight LOVES it!

The next day thanks to Gregg for his willingness to watch all 5 kids- so Shelly and I were able to escape and join my sister and my parents for some family time. We went and saw "Stupid Crazy Love" and then went to Cafe Rio for lunch.

The Whole Weekend was a lot of fun!

We had a great time and hope to do it again!

South-Draper & Alpine

Thursday morning we headed south to meet Shelly and Keira and to visit James & Laura's family and to see their new home. It was beautiful! The kids had a great time becoming reacquainted and having lunch. It was a quick visit, actually too quick-and amongst the fun the camera escaped me leaving me without any pictures....

Afterwards we met up with one of my oldest friends Erin and her family. She too has recently built a home so we went to see it and again were in awe at its beauty. After visiting we decided to go to Thanksgiving point and visit the Dinosaur museum. We'd never been and the kids loved it.

It started out with some hands on science experiments. The boys loved this lil bowl you fed balls to.

Afterwards we hit a lil splash pad and river up in Alpine. Sooo much fun! I think this was one of the kids favorite spots!
