I'M NOT TIRED!!!!!

We went swimming today and when I got home I asked my kids if they were tired. They INSISTED that they were not tired at all. I told them maybe they should just lay down for a minute and see if they might be just a little tired.

Carson....."I promise mom, we are not tired"

Me....."O.K. that's fine we'll go grocery shopping."

I go in the other room and come back two minutes later....

They are out!

So I have at least an hour with all three kids asleep. What should I do with my free time????

Jumping Jacks

So what do you do in St. George when it is 107 degrees outside and the kids need to get out of the house and play......Jumping Jacks!!! Welcome to my kids' latest obsession. It is a giant warehouse full of huge inflatable toys. It is cool inside and there is a great section for parents with couches and magazines. My kids will play for hours. We spent four hours there and they still begged to stay when I finally dragged them away.

This is the four muskateers. Carson, Kyler, Kaden, and Autumn.

They even have a cute little area for little kids that Brynlee could play in.
She can crawl and climb all over and doesn't get hurt when she tumbles.
Autumn is a great big sis.
So happy.
Every hour they dim the lights, get the disco balls rolling, the dance tunes jammin, and the dance party begins! Check out Autumn's sweet moves.

If you haven't been yet, you'll have to go give it a try.

Fishing at Pine Valley

We tried to go camping up at Pine Valley but when we got up there the campground was already full. My kids (and husband) were devastated but we decided to stay for a few hours and eat dinner and try our fishing skills. We didn't catch anything but it was absolutely beautiful up there. I love to be the mountains.

Farm Camp

My friend Sherrie is doing the most adorable kids camp at Staheli Farm this summer.

They took a tour of the farm in a behind a tractor....

slid down the corn slide...

learned about tractors....
learned about LOTS of animals......

and even got to feed them!!!!(my camera died so I missed them feeding all the animals)
(pot bellied pig named "Bacon")



They also learned about fruits and vegetables, learned about planting and harvesting a garden, gathered eggs, played lots of fun games, sang songs, ate yummy snacks, colored cute pictures, and got to see what it takes to work on a farm. Their motto is work hard and play hard. My kids had the time of their lives and I had to drag them away with a promise we would go back.

Bridal Shower

I went to a bridal shower for my sister in law and caught this funny picture of her daughter Micah. She is a little embarassed about the gifts her mother is receiving.

Another Day at the Lake

For some reason Carson decided he was scared of the tube and refused to get on. Ryan picked him up anyways and put him on the tube. If you can't tell, he is not pleased.
Faster Faster!!
This little girl would stay on the lake all day every day if she could.

We love the new Rec Center

This is us at the new Washington City Community Center. The pool area HUGE and so much fun. The pool is mostly indoor and there are two playgrounds, a lazy river, hydrotube, and lap pool. I think we will get a lot of use out of it all year long.

This Carson aka "Spiderman"
Brynlee loved the swings.
We found some cousins there!
Happy Days!

Playing outside with the puppy

Cambri brought over her friend A.J."s new golden retreiver puppy, West, for us to play with. He is the cutest little thing. Brynlee was so funny. She would pet his nose and then giggle. She did it over and over again. It made want to get one but I am not sure if we are ready for a dog yet or not. Those little puppies are hard to resist.
