Slip N slide

My older brother Ben and his ward were having a outing up here in cache Valley from Ogden. They are all staying up Blacksmith Fork area, but had an adventure on the Big water slides in Wellsville and invited us to stop in. Carter LOVES these slides. He could play on them for hours. This little man scares my heart. He is not afraid of ANYTHING. Always try it at least once......I wish that wasn't my motto from the beginning. Now it's stuck!

Ben and Jaynee. She is a brave little soul herself!!

Cute little Gavin enjoying the views from the sidelines.

Carnival

Cute picture of Jaynee

Thursday nights during the fair we usually head to the carnival for the kids since it is not quite as pact as it is on the weekend. The kids had so much fun riding the rides.

Carter wants to go back and do it again tonight.... I'm thinkin' heck no!!!!

Pre 4H

Carter is such a stinkin' fun kid. He was able to walk/show one of the Lindley's cows in the pre 4H group! The judge asked him who he was with.... ROOSTER!!! (Kurt) of course not the cow..
As we were loading in the car. He was singing " I ROCK...I ROCK" I said you do rock Carter. I asked him why he rocked, and he said cause i am the only one that won! (everyone wins) But i let him think he was!!!

My wonderful Family!!!!

This is the cutest picture! just shows how much these two just adore one another. They are even holding hands. They absolutely love to bath together. OOHHH, My pride, and joys!!

we were watching the lightening one night, and Carter started running through the sprinklers. so we let the both of them enjoy the water.

Gavin is so much fun. He is in love with food! whatever you are eating, you better give him a taste!!! The other night, Jason and Carter were eating some chocolate covered cinnamon  bears. and Gavin LOVED them!!!

Just a cute picture of my little man. He is all smiles, all the time. Jason even mentioned today, that it is the best feeling ever when you see him smile.  That goes for both of our kids. I truly am blessed to have happy healthy children!!!

Wheeler ride to Grandma, and Grandpa Garrett's.

I made jason go 2 miles an hour while i followed him with the hazards on!

I was nervous to let Gavin go, but of course he loved every minute!

Needless to say, they made it there in one piece.

Thank goodness!

TwO YeAr'S

Today marks two years. WOW

Just wanted to let you know that I love you!

Happy Anniversary Jason!!!

Island Park/ Bear world

Bear world was really fun. We drove through the park and saw all the bears. We were right behind the feeding truck, so we got a real close up of all the big bears. my camera was dead from the vacation so I didnt get many pictures. Dang!!! But it was really fun. Thanks Grandma for taking us through.

 Carter is showing everyone how to cast out on the dinky little CARS fishing pools.

This trip was so much fun. I am going to be honest.... But I had not ever been to Island Park, and I honestly was expecting an Island of some sort. (i know i am a moron.) But we had so much fun. It was the gathering of the Smith Family reunion. (always so much fun!) We stayed in a large cabin, that could sleep 20 people. There was horse riding, fishing, tad pool catching, canoeing, and  Hot tub.  It was so much fun. Thank you Grandma Smith for all of the wonderful memories that you make for me and my little family.
Oh by the way...while we were looking for the tad pools, I asked my cousin if there were leaches?> No way he said.... we were in the water for at least a half hour, and no one mentioned any blood suckers. My little sister Madi came down to fish with us, and sure enough..... she had one on her leg!!! Laughing out loud, i kinda felt sorry for her. sorry Madi.

Poor Puppy!

Tank is such a little baby! I was going on a bike ride and decided to take tank. he was such a trooper, and kept up with me the whole time. and when I got home,  the poor guy couldnt walk. the road tore up his feet pretty bad. And he kept licking them, and getting them dirty. so we had to put socks on his feet, and taped them on. He would army crawl around the house. It was kinda funny! He is moving around a little better now. but he sure was milking it!

Pudding Fights!

My little sister came over, to play in the water and jump on the tramp with the sprinklers. and my mom thought that a pudding fight was a good idea!! It really was fun to see them running around with tank chasing after them eating the pudding and licking there legs!

TOES!!!

Gavin has found his toes! It is so cute to see him try and put his toes in his mouth! He is getting so big everyday. He is over 15.5 lbs. and the happiest baby in the world.

Summer Friends

The baby sitting kids! We have had a really fun summer with our little friends

Oh how I love this little CoWbOy!!!!  He loves to go out with dad on the horses. Just last night we were sitting watching a movie, and at 10:00 they both decided that they were going to take a night ride.
CrAzY PeOpLe!!! At least they made it home safe around midnight....

Compare!!! and Comment!!!

The top picture is not the best. But I never thought that Gavin looked like me till i whipped out the scrapbook. Let me know what you think. Cause Jason still thinks that he looks nothing like me!!!
- the picture of Gavin is from a while back too.

THE 4TH!!!

I think this is the funniest picture!!! We were headed down to Bear Lake, and Carter was so freaking excited, he couldn't hardly stand it!!!

Jason was such a trooper with the kids in the pool up at the Reserve. The water in the lake was way too cold to attempt to swim in! Gavin absolutely loves the water!

Kirsti, Gavin, Landon, Madi, Mom, Dad

Everyone waiting for the Hyrum Parade to start.

 

"CRAZY DAD!"

(i was posting this, and when carter saw the picture, that's what he said!)

Jaynie, Kiya, Carter. During the parade.

Gavin Hated this life jacket. But i was so scared to take him on the boat for the first time. If i could have gotten two on him, i would have!!!

He loved the feeling of the sand and water on his feet. I wish I would have remembered that my camera can video tape cause it was hilarious!

My cute Parents. and Happy Gavin waiting for the fireworks to start.

We had such a wonderful 4th of July. It is so hard to make it to all of the fun family activities, when there are two sides involved. But WE did it. 

Friday, we went bowling and watched the Logan fireworks. I had the worst score of my life. Carter even kicked my trash. But it was fun! Gavin had some of his first ice cream. HE LOVED IT. i would take it away, and he would start to fuss. 

Saturday we headed to Bear Lake to meet up with the Bailey Party. We gather at the Piggot's cabin and enjoy the lake, and the wonderful meals, and family. and swimming at the Reserve. Gavin had a rough time with his ears because of all the pressure change while driving. So that was a little rough. We headed home on Sunday afternoon.  Monday We headed up to the Lions Club breakfast, and then to watch the parade. after that we headed to the Crookstons to have another family dinner. then off to the dam. We boated for the rest of the evening and then watched the Hyrum fireworks from the dam. It was so much fun.

BIG THANKS to all of those that help make this 4th a great one!!!
