Days of 47 Children's Parade

If you have a question about pioneers just ask Peyton. He was one of the lucky chosen for the "mini" royalty of the Days of '47 Children's Parade after successfully answering several questions about Pioneer history. He had so much fun riding in the parade and even got some airtime on the TV broadcast. Way to go Peyt!
Not only did Peyton get the participate in the Parade but he got to hang out with the lovely Days of '47 royalty. My sister Mallory is the one on the far right.
Kempton enjoyed the festivities from the sidelines.
After the parade we enjoyed the rest of the morning at the children's festival. Lexi was in heaven - she got her face painted like a princess, her fingernails done with pretty sparkles, and a crown to top it all off. She had a great time hanging out with her cousin Berkley. Peyton spent his time building a wooden helicopter at the Home Depot tent.
The day was a big success and a lot of fun for everyone!

Summer Parties

Our friends Ashley & Dustin have a great b-day party every year for their twins. Peyton and Lexi look forward to this party every summer because there are such fun activities planned with ponies, pinatas, and lots of treats. This year this kids got to ride in a big England semi-truck. Peyton must have taken about 20 rides. He has always loved trucks and when he was younger would say he wanted to be a truck driver. I hope he fulfilled his truck driver dream during his twenty rides because I hope his future career demands a college degree. Kempton liked watching the big truck but the horn was not his favorite. The moms had fun chatting while the kids and dads played.
Parties at Nana and Grandpa's house have been on a regular basis this summer. Aunt Mallory lead the kids in night yoga to get them to calm down before bed.
I had a great time catching up with long time friends in Logan while Lance was out of town for business. Summer time with old and new friends is wonderful!

Fourth of July fun

The fourth of July in Logan is always a great time. It was so fun to have Morris and Ashley here from Virginia. Ashley came prepared with 4th of July tattoos and games for the kids. We are so excited to have them move back in a year when Morris finishes his residency. Kempton was happy as always through the weekend festivities and late nights.
Morris and my Dad making the traditional homemade root beer. Family, Friends, Food, Fireworks, and Fun.
Peyton and Cooper ready and waiting for the big fireworks show.
Nothing like sharing fireworks with the one you love!
We headed to the lake for a few days of fun in the sun. Uncle Jason was great to let Peyton drive the boat when no one was skiing or wake boarding.
Lance will never pass up a chance to play even when the water is choppy and a little cold.
