We started the week off at the Aquarium, it's pretty new to the area and we haven't been there before.
The kids liked it and had a lot of fun!
They were so happy to see cousin Eden there, she's the best!

We saw a cool 4 D movie about Great White Sharks. It was a fun experience, there's water and cold air that blow at you throughout the movie.

The kids had a massive shaving cream fight one day this week. They put on goggles and their swimming suits and had fun spraying each other and then playing on the slip n slide. It was so hilarious to watch!

 These are my favorite days of summer- letting the kids play and have fun together.

Lizzie and her friends having a tea party.

Danny took a bunch of boys to the cool petstore in Bountiful to see this HUGE snake. The boys loved it and had fun.

Friday night we went boating at Jordanelle, with Kerrie & Crew and Natalie & Richie. It was sich a gorgeous night, perfect and so much fun to be on the lake.

Boating is such a fun activity for the whole famiy. We love it!

We are happily soaking up all the summer fun we can. School starts in 2 weeks, we're all getting sad.

The big news of this week is Natalie and Richie are engaged! They are so perfect for each other and super cute together. Natalie decided not to serve a mission in Sweden, and marry Richie instead.

The kids have been having a lot of fun- with their friends. Playing games, water fights, jumping on the tramp, snacks etc...

We hit Hollywood Connection this week with Teresa and her kids. Lizzie LOVED the carousel ride. She did this ride at least 15 times, and insisted on going on this cat with a fish in its mouth everytime. She was cute and had tons of fun!



We had a fun weekend, trying a yummy restaurant in SLC called "Spitz" . The food was delicious, and they have fun games on the table. We'll definately be going there again.



We went to the local pool with a few friends on Friday. Pool days are my favorite! The kids are super happy and love swimming all day long!

Jen texted me these adorable pictures of Eden. They are moving this week and Eden has been "helping" pack. She is the cutest little 11 month old. We really wish they would move to Utah!

More pictures of Cute Natalie.

Danny took the kids to the aquarium yesterday. Lizzie loved the touch tanks.

Danny and the boys went to the Demolition derby last night. They loved all the crashing cars, and thought it was tons of fun!
Summer is going by too fast!

Mccall 2014

We headed to Mccall last Sunday, we were all so excited and happy to go.
We had a wonderful, relaxing week spending time with family.
Here's a lot of pictures from our adventures in Idaho.

Everyday we'd wake up eat breakfast and then make a plan for the day. We'd go swim at the Fish & Swim Club, go fishing, hiking, head for the lake to boat, paddleboard, swim, hot tub, play on the floating trampoline, and enjoy the sunshine and sand. There are so many fabulous things to do in McCall, and it's so gorgeous there!

We rented a boat for two afternoons and it was so great to surf, tube, wakeboard, waterski etc... It was a really nice boat, and so nice to be out on the water.

The kids wore themselves out in the pool everyday. Especially Lizzie, she really LOVES to swim. She is intense and wants to be underwater with her goggles on all the time. Luckily she wore a life jacket part of the time, because it's exhasting to keep her above water.

Their cabin so amazing and comfortable to stay in. Everyone slept so well, and lizzie even slept in until 10:30 on Saturday. We love staying there and enjoy our time there so much!

Paddleboarding on the lake and river was so fun. Lizzie loves it and Isaac even did his own little paddleboard by himself.

Lots of time to fish, the boys spent one day at the North Payette Lake fishing. They had a blast but didn't take any pictures.



Little Eden is a huge celebrity in the family. All the kids LOVE her so much. She is the sweetest, most easy going baby and so much fun to have her



It was so awesome to have all of Danny's siblings there for the week. We all had so much fun!

Everyone wanted to hold Eden as much as they could. She's a favorite!

Beautiful Payette Lake, and view of our awesome beach at the Shore Lodge.



Lots of time on the boat makes for perfect days on the lake. Taylor tried surfing behind the boat, and loved it! I tried it but thought it was hard, I guess I'm getting old.



We celebrated Eden's 1st birthday. She was so cute in her birthday outfit and she was intrigued by her delicious cake. The kids loved watching her eat her cake and thought it was funny.

Lizzie and her little buns hanging out of her swim suit are hilarious.

On Saturday we paddleboarded and kayaked up the Payette river . We stopped and had a picnic lunch and then paddled back to the lake. It was a gorgeous day on the river, it's a great time.

We can't wait to go back next summer!

Taylor competed in the Ukelele festival this year again. He played a Beatles Medley and took 2nd. He won a handmade ukelele, it was pretty cool! He is getting really good at playing the ukelele.

The guy in the hat took 1st, his name is Mason.  He is incredible, he played Bohemian Rhapsody. It was a fun day for the family. Taylor was happy with his performance and excited he took second.

Here is a fcw more Lake Powell pictures from Mono. She has an awesome camera, I love her photos!

Everyone was really missing the Lake this week. I was out gardening one and day and got really hot, I was really wanting to dive into the nice, cool lake!

We went to Silver Lake this week to get out of the heat. It is so gorgeous there and nice and cool in the mountains. We also went to water fall called "hidden falls". It was a cool waterfall, the kids hiked around and played in the river. It was a fun outing!

Beautiful Silver Lake.

After silver Lake we went to Jordanelle and met Danny for an evening of boating.

Danny had been at the lake all day taking the Young Women boating for part of their girls camp. The kids love being on the boat, and so do Danny & I. We swam, tubed, knee boarded and Taylor wake boarded. It was a fun, beautiful evening.

Lizzie loves her shades.
