July

Sooooo behind!  Here is the rest of our vacation and our July adventures.  Is it really September already?!!?!

On our trip to Washington we went to Cottage Lake.  It has a really fun park that my kids love.

 James came along too!

 My mom got us a badminton set and we had fun trying to not let the birdie hit the ground

 We also went to see Incredibles 2 with my whole family.  Luxury recliners!

 Most of my dad's side of the family lives in Washington and they always get together for a BBQ and fireworks at my cousin's house to celebrate the 4th.  The kids love taking rides in my uncle's jeep with all the cousins.

 They always spend thousands of dollars on fireworks!

 My kids got to light some of their own fireworks this year.  They loved it.

 Got to protect those cute baby ears!!!  Love my nephew James.  So glad I got to spend time with him.

 Love our family photo!  Don't mind Kayzee...she got hurt right before and would not smile.

 Sleeping through the noise.  I remember when my kids use to do that.

 We had a couple fireworks either tip over and shoot into the crowd or not make it high enough in the air.  This one Kayzee is lighting was one of those.  Luckily everyone was fine though!

 Happy 4th of July!!!!

 Most of my family had to work while we were visiting so I found fun ways to entertain my kids.  We found the Imagine Children's Museum...

 The rooftop play area was the best!

 Our trip home didn't take as long getting there but we did stop and stay the night in Boise since I was the only one driving.   We had so much fun on our long vacation seeing family but it was nice to be home sleeping in my own bed!

 Kayzee being silly.

 Slowly getting more done in my yard.  Both of my grandmas and my mom had birdhouses so I have been given them and I decided to decorate my yard and kitchen with them.

 Huge backyard all ready for grass seed to be planted in the fall.  My neighbor fixed my sprinklers!!!  So grateful for him and all he has done to help me.

 Kayzee got home from Washington with all her new earrings and she was excited to put them on her new holder.

 I got a new headboard and changed my master bedroom

 Got a new couch for my front room

 My amazing neighbor built and installed this new railing for my front door.  Like I said...he is the best!

 We went to see Hotel Transylvania 3.  We laughed and danced in our seats.  Fun summer movie

 We went to an arcade.  Memphis did this huge claw machine with Despicable Me characters and won this unicorn.  He knows Kayzee loves unicorns so he gave it to her.  It's so fluffy!

 Bumper Cars!

 Memphis won battleship

 Fun in the photo booth!

 New haircut!

 We all scored free tickets to the Natural History Museum of Utah.  My kids went there on field trips but I had never been so they had fun showing me around.

 The day we chose to go they introduced the new dinosaur they found in Utah.  Fun to see the presentation

 We love the American Fork Steel Days Carnival!  My kids were a lot more brave and went on a lot more of the big rides.

 Kayzee screamed in terror on this ride so they stopped it and let her off.  She was shaking so bad.  But we got our ticket back.  Sorry Kayzee.  Good job trying it though!

 Another one of my new favorite books.  I read it in one sitting I couldn't put it down!  I laughed a lot and I cried a lot.

 I also got a new table and chairs and bench for my kitchen.  Well, that was our fun July.  It went by too fast.  Will post about August soon!
