Is it a bird?

I am painting this bird cage in preperation of FINALLY getting my own birds and this is how I contained my son from getting into the paint. No I am just joking. Actually Brigham was the first one to climb into the cage and shut the door, McKay wanted his turn. But when I got the camera out Brigham would not get back in to the cage.
But they entertained themselves for a long time, climbing in and out and opening and shutting the door.

Spending the Day on Lake Mary Lake

Well, Let the Fun begin!
After a long summer we were ready to have some fun as a family.
We are excited to spend time with family and enjoy some of Grandpa's toys

We decided to make a trip to Phoniex and go to the temple, then head up to Flagstaff and see the Bryce family and spend the weekend with them. We got to go to Lake Mary while we were there, we had a blast but boy the water was COLD!!!

Our cousin Mckenna is in the background waterskiing, she did such a great job!!!

Aubrey's First Day of School

Getting Measured

Grandpa has a board with all the family's height on them so it had been a couple years so it was time once again to be measured


Brigham are you standing on your tippy toes?

McKay loved getting measured and after his turn was over he keeped going back and standing as tall as he could

Look at how tall you have gotten

The Splash Zone

It always seems that where ever we go as soon as we leave something really neat just gets completed or announced
the Splash Zone, or Glacier Run Park was underway and getting ready to open when we left Louisville years ago, but at least we are getting to enjoy it now




Playing in the fountains

Got to love the Water slides

The Louisville Zoo

Getting Close to a Barn Owl

The kids favorite thing really is the insects, frogs, snakes, all creeping things

Brigham playing in the Waves

It was such a blast to watch him play in the waves

Playing with glow sticks

The kids love playing with glow sticks so one night as a treat for getting ready for bed and being good during scriptures and prayers they got to break one open. I got out the camera because they were just having a blast and found a slow shutter speed that gave us some really cool pictures to look at. To bad the kids didn't show up but I can promise you they had huge grins on their faces

Being buried in the sand

Why is playing in the sand so much fun?
