Oh my poor neglected blog.... I'm sure that I am the very last person on earth to blog about the 5th of July. I am going to try to better - I promise!

We always love watching the Hyrum Parade and have for as long as I can remember. Kenzlie was so excited to go and made sure to tell me on the way there that she didn't want ANY candy. (strange kid huh)

My mom made these cute flip-flops for the girls to wear to the parade. Aren't they so cute!

Jensyn

Jeremie ran in the Freedom Run on Saturday, July 3rd. Can I just say he did awesome!!

Kenzlie was once again so excited to watch daddy race and told him to make sure he didn't win this time - he needed to take turns. LOL

Jensyn cheering on daddy!
Had to add this picture of my busy little boy!! He loves to be under things including the kitchen table. He is walking all over the place, emptying out drawers, cupboards, anything he can get into!!

Boot Tree

When I was a little girl we camped at Beaver Mountain all the time. We always had so much fun... we rode our four-wheelers up and down through the trees so much that we made permanent paths, hiked up the mountain, played on the ski lifts, listened to the sheep come through our camp each morning, carved our names in the trees, picked up pop cans along the road with our wagon, and went for rides to Bear Lake to get a milk shake. Camping there now things are so different - but the one tradition we must continue.... is visiting the boot tree. There is an actual tree that looks just like a big boot.My parents and their two dogs walked down to the boot tree with us and poor little Paisley was too tired to make it back up the hill. We had to put her in the wagon with Kenzlie, it was pretty funny!

Then silly little Barney picked up this Reese's wrapper off the side of the road and carried it in his mouth forever. What silly dogs!!

CaMpInG @ BEAVER

We took Jensyn camping for the first time at 9 months to Beaver Mountain.... He loved it!! We seriously forgot he was even with us sometimes because he was so good. He was the perfect little camper!!Kenzlie is quite the little camper too. She had so much fun riding her bike and scooter, taking Jensyn for walks, and going on a four-wheeler rides. It was such fun weekend!!

Fathers Day!

I am SO grateful for all the Father's I have in my life. My dad is amazing - after a very rough year with so many ups and downs, I am so glad to finally see him doing so well. It was so hard to see him go from being so active and healthy and always on the go to weeks later being in a wheel chair not even able to walk. He is the best dad and awesome grandpa and is so cute with all his grand kids. He is truly such an example to me and I love him so much. Why I don't have any pictures of him on Father's Day - I don't know!! :(

The father of my children.... I can't imagine my life without him. He is the best dad and loves each of his kids so much. It is so neat to see how much my kids love him and enjoy doing things with their dad. I am so lucky and I love him so much!!

My father-in-law, Grandpa Jay. He is also a huge example to me... he would do anything for anyone of his children or grandchildren. He is so cute with my kids and is so much fun to be around. I am so lucky to have such a great man as my father-in-law and I love him very much!

FOUR

That's right my sweet little girl turned FOUR on June 5th.

(I'm just a little behind on blogging) This year the only thing she asked for was the game "Guess Who Extra."

So guess what she got??

Lots of other fun stuff too.... a new scooter, clothes, games, and lots of other fun toys.

She is so into i-Carly right now - it is her favorite show.

So of course that is what kind of birthday cake she wanted.

The sky looked so cool that day...
