Utah: Week 2

Again, another great week!!! This week I got to see my fun sister-in-law Sarah, my brother-in-law Sambo (who I forgive and love once again :)), my gorgeous (you're gorgeous, alright) cousins Squemmy and Lyndsey, my Aunt Suzi's fam, and spend time with my mama and my sister and my little family. It's been so fun!!! Here are the pics to prove it. Oh, and I also made an exciting purchase this week- you'll see!

There was also a waxing party that Loo lead but no one would let me post pics (EVERYONE waxed at least something)!


A trip to the children's museum with my cousins Squem and Lynds and their cute kiddles. It was so much fun to see them!!!!






Curry Night!!! It was so fun to see my Aunt Suzi, my cousin Deedles, my cousin Lar Lar and their families. Good food, good company!!!






My sis-in-law Sarah and Tyler doing some serious coloring!!!


Cute Nana and Ry Guy T



Skipbo with Grandpa Wallin!!!!! Brings back such good memories from when I was a kid.



My mama and her cute parents!




My Kiddles got bug catchers. So far their brave mom has caught a moth, an orange beetle, and 4 rolly polly bugs (or as Ryder calls them Rolly Coasties).


One night Ammon and I took the kids over to Gateway to play in the fountains. I love hanging with my little fam!





My best friends!!!!!



Ryder has spent so much time on my mom's ipad this week that Ammon has officially changed the name of it to the RyPad. He LOVES it!!!!



Sambo!!!


And finally- I BOUGHT A SCOOTER!!!!! It has been so fun taking rides with Ammon and my kids. Loo and I even got to take a ride on our bikes together.

Utah: Week 1

We decided to spend all of July in Utah. Why not? Ammon works from home, my parents have a house in Utah, Utah is within driving distance, my mom is spending July here too so we can hang out!, Loo Loo lives here, we don't have church callings yet in our new Mesa ward, and it's a good 20 degrees cooler in Utah than Arizona in the month of July. It just made sense! We have had SOOOO much fun. I have been able to spend time with my relatives which has been such a fun experience. So, here is a recap of the first week in Utah. Pictures tell it best.

Last Sunday, we spent the day visiting my grandparents. I LOVE that my kids got to spend time with time. It was such a fun day.








Fourth of July- everyone enjoyed the fireworks at Sugar House Park (especially Scarlett).



My baby girl and me!


At Iceberg, we decided to order everyone a mini shake because we had already had so much junk during the week. Apparently their idea of mini is a little different than ours.



On Thursday, we spent the day at Cowabunga Bay- a really cool water park for kids. We had the privilege of going with some of our good friends the Andersons who just moved to Utah from AZ. I was worried about taking all 4 of my kids without Ammon being there to help but Heidi is superwoman and made it all ok. We love this fam- hurry back to AZ! Thanks Loo Loo for setting it all up!!!




Ammon and I decided to take the kids up Big Cottonwood Canyon to explore. The kids loved it. Boston was in heaven. The had so much fun chucking stuff into the creek and getting all muddy. I forgot how completely beautiful it is up there. It was a really fun family day!



Loo Loo has a scooter. She took us all on rides and then let us all take rides. I now want a scooter!!! We have been looking around :)


Wednesday night, we got home from swimming at my Aunt Jill's house and found this package sitting in our house. Auntie Loo left a box filled with camping gear (sleeping bags, candy, flash lights, etc) and a note inviting my kids to have a camp out with here Friday night. To say my kids were excited may just be the understatement of the year. Seriously, could you find a better aunt anywhere??? Her "friend" Steve was such a good sport and participated too. Even cousin Robby stopped in for the excitement. They played skipbo, made s'mores, told kid-friendly-ghost-stories, did fireworks, ate pizza, and on and on!!! Every kids dream! Tyler and Boston actually made it the whole night in the tent. Love you Loo!!!!!
