Parkers Present

They could not wait for us to get it in the back yard!

Parker and McKay!

It is now where they can play!

Parker looks so little in the big sandbox!


We really have missed the sandbox we built at our old house. I finally found a reason to get one at the new house. We decided it was a good gift for Parker. He could not be any happier. He really does love to go and play in it. I am planning on putting the awning up so that they can play in it any time they want. The boys were so happy they could not even wait for us to get it out of the trailer. They kept telling us to just leave it in there. But that was a little more than I wanted to spend on a sandbox. Plus we love having a little trailer. It is definitely getting well used. Lets hope my kids can keep wiping there feet off before my house becomes a sandbox

McKay helping keep Parker happy while waiting!

Last thing on Park City. We let the kids ride the carousel after the alpine slide. We kind of cheated and had the 3 older kids take the 3 little kids so that they could all ride. Thanks guys for helping me with my crazy boys. It was fun to hang out. My boys love there cousins so much they always have a lot of fun with them and I love how they are always up to helping me out.

The Pool At The Condo

There was a pool at the condo. My kids are always up for a good swim. It was a little cold. But they could care less. Parker feel asleep on the way there so we hung out on the side lines.
Mckay swimming good like always!

Park City

So my brother Jason, In-Laws have a condo in Park City. Every 6 weeks they get to go up for the week. So they invited us up for a night. Korey of course had to work. But I decided to go. It was sit at home alone or up at Park City. We just went for one night. When we got up there we had lunch. Then did the Alpine Slides. I think I was more nervous than my boys. But we were brave and I even went twice. I am so proud of myself. I did not even use the brakes. GO ME!!! I thought I got pictures of everyone. But we did not get one of Cameron and Eliza. Sorry guys. I am sure I beat you down too.

Preston and Diana beating McKay!

Uncle Jason and Preston(So happy he got go twice too).

Ryan and Diana & Molly and Macy

Grandma Bonnie decided to be safe and just ride the tram up and down

Parker being a good boy waiting for us to all have fun. I wish he could have gone he would have liked it too.
When we got done we went back to the condo and played at the pool. Then did a BBQ for dinner. The kids had fun playing in the pool. Feeding the ducks. Just hanging out with family.
We got a little sleep that night. Then got up did breakfast. Then Mom was nice and watched the kids while Eliza and I went to the outlets. Got back and packed and came home. It was short and sweet and always nice to get away. We did miss Korey. But we will get him next time. Thanks Jason & Molly you guys are always fun to hang with. Next time we are doing the coaster!!

McKay & His Guitar

So all this summer McKay has been taking guitar lessons. They offered them over at the Scera Art Center. He has really seemed to enjoy it. His only complaint was that his fingers hurt from the strings, and that the guitar he was using was a little large for him(Grandma thanks for letting us barrow it). But I realized just how much he really liked it when he was willing to miss going to Bear Lake with the Hatch family, to preform at his concert last night. He did AWESOME! We are so proud of him and hope that he will want to continue with it. Good job son!!!

Fun In The Back Yard!!!

Courage, Ryan, & Preston

Today we had one of our little friends over to play. So we decided to get out the pool, and the slip and slide. The boys loved it they had so much fun out there. Even some of the neighbor girls came over to play. We love were we live. My kids have friends all around them. We have such nice neighbors too. It is nice to just let them out to play. I just hope we did not kill the grass by all the water.

Parker's Hair

Korey cannot belive how much he look like a little boy and not a baby anymore!

My husband finally caved in and let me shave the babies hair. His hair stood straight up in the middle like a rooster the whole time we were camping. Then he had this weird mullet type thing going on in the back. Then there was no hair any where else. But I do have to say that it looks very cute. We just hope it grows in all at the same time. Not crazy like it has been.
