Dinosaur Park

We went to the Dinosaur Park. The kids loved it, especially Porter. He kept saying, "Ohh guys, yook at that." They are at the perfect age to enjoy it.

North Shore

We decided to go to North Shore and we chose one of the only days it rained. It rained a little and the kids danced while they had to sit out (due to lightnening). I was so disappoiinted and was thinking the day might be ruined, but after about an hour the sun came out and it was perfect. The best part is the weathetr kept the crowds away and we almost had the place to our selves.

the fair

I love the fair. I think it's so much fun and love to see the kids have a good time there. We saw all the animals, went to the petting zoo, saw the kids rodeo, and of course got some awesome fair lemonade. We almost didn't make it there this year because we were busy, but I'm glad we did. It was a fun night.

9 months

Blakely is 9 months. She is so awesome. She has the brightest, happiest, fun personality. We all adore her and the kids fight over her. She has 2 bottom teeth, crawls everywhere, walks along the furniture, says mama and dada, waves good-bye, claps her hands, and is starting to stand by herself. We love her and if I could freeze time I would.

pokemon

Kynnady is funny and has loved collecting and trading pokemon cards with the neighbor boys. Porter took this picture of them the other day. Silly girl.

Park City

We were able to get away for the weekend with some good friend. We satyed in Park City and had a blast. The 3 older kids stayed with our oldest niece ans her husband and Blakely was able to come with us. We enjoyed the yummiest food and good company. We were able to do the alpine slide and the coaster. Both were fun but, the coaster was the best. The girls did some shopping and the guys went to a movie. It was just what we needed.

Rodeo

We had a fun time at the Ogden Rodeo. Well, I should say I had more fun once I knew Kynnady was fine after mutton busting. She has wanted to mutton bust for awhile now. But after watching really close at the last rodeo we went to she wasn't so sure anymore. When Ky mentioned that we were going to the rodeo, she made up her mind and really wanted to do it. I got really nervous about it. I try to keep the kids safe and unharmed all day long and I felt funny signing a waiver that I was okay if she were to get hurt. I knew it was unlikely that she would be injured, but I also wanted it to be a fun experience and I wasn't sure if she'd see it that way. It turns out she did. She was the last rider and did well- scored a 73. She must have done well because her dad gave her a practice session on the tramp :)I was so proud that she tried and that she was tough and didn't cry. She is one awesome girly!
