July 4th

Sorry this is late being posted.  We have been really busy.  We had a laid back 4th of July this year.  Every year we either drive down to Blanding to be with Danny's family or we fly up to Washington to be with my family.  Since the 4th of July fell on a Wednesday we couldn't travel because of Danny's work so we just had a fun couple days at home.  On Tuesday July 3rd I took my kids to the Highland splash pad with my friend/co-worker Allison and her 3 kids.  My kids loved it.  Well, Kayzee hated it at first and wouldn't let go of me but then once she figured out it wasn't so bad she did not want to go home!

 Kayzee is definitely not like her daredevil brother.  At first this was the only little trickle of water she would play in.  Then she finally got brave enough and played in the river and fountain.

Kayzee and Allison's little girl Kate.  They loved playing together.

On Wednesday July 4th Danny got up early and went golfing because he had the day off.  Then we relaxed at home and played wii games.  Then we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner (right at four when they opened to avoid the crowds) and then we went fishing at a little pond behind Lone Peak high school in American Fork.  Once it got dark we drove around trying to find a good place to park and watch fireworks but couldn't find anywhere so we drove home and WOW!  Our neighbors on each end of our street were having a contest to see you could set off the biggest and most fireworks so we just sat on our lawn and watched.  Great way to end the night. 

The next week Danny's family came up to spend a few days with us.  Danny's youngest sister Mary was playing in a softball tournament in Payson.  It was fun to go watch all the games even though it was 100+ degrees outside.  They took 3rd place.  Mary played catcher in all the games and had some good hits.  Danny's dad was the assistant couch.  I hope my kids get all the good Royer sport genes!!!!  Way to go Mary!

I just have to share this.  Both Kayzee and Memphis have started coming up to me and saying, "Mommy I'm happy!"  Don't know where they got that from but I LOVE it.  They also love to shout that they love me.  I love being a mom and I love my kids!

I have also been really busy deep cleaning and decluttering my whole house.  Time for a garage sale and my family is coming to help me paint all the rooms in my house.  So excited to see my family and my sister and I are going to WICKED in SLC!!!!!! 

This week we are all really sick with nasty colds so hopefully we get over them quickly.   

And after a month and a half I think it is safe to say that Memphis is fully potty trained both day and night!  He has not had an accident in over a week. I am so proud of him and YAY I survived!!!!
