July with Birthdays and Fireworks

July is our crazy fun month. Between fireworks and birthdays we have a lot going on. So lets get started. 

Going to see the Logan fireworks is always a family favorite. 

We made it to the BC fireworks as well! What fun! The Em-A-Nator loved them! I was afraid she would hate them since she slept through Logan's. 

 MJ with the camera. Always entertaining. 

Buddy Boy showed me this. It is his trick and talent if he ever goes on AGT (Americas Got Talent). 

Buddy Boy really likes to play hide-and-seek right now. I wonder where he is?

My birthday was a blast! Hiking to second dam (well I made it that far), lunch at Angies, The Sink for dessert, and cinnamon rolls for birthday cake. Yummy!

Lil wanted one thing for her birthday, a Happy. Well we couldn't find Happy's anywhere but online. So she got the ball and we ordered the Happy afterwards.  Lil also decided to have a chocolate bar instead of cake this year. 

We then went over to RB's second parents home to see some friends that we haven't seen for about 4 years. It was such a good evening of good food, good company, and yummy desserts! 

 The kids got a tramp for birthdays. It was a big present so not as many gifts to unwrap. They were super excited and love it!

 A neighbors tree had a ton of cherries on it and we were told to come and help ourselves. They are so tasty. The Em-A-Nator helped herself to all of our hard work.

One more slip-n-slide elders quorum night. Good times with these three. Too bad the boys were at scout camp and couldn't be there. 

MJ had a good birthday. She is also getting a mermaid tail that she paid some of for. And then the girls had their combined birthday party on MJ's birthday. They played water volleyball, jump on the tramp with water sprinklers under it, and drip, drip drench like duck, duck, goose. They had pizza and brownies too. 

Another wonderful activity day activity was taking the girls to the Logan temple. They walked around and learned about the different doors, history, and what we do in the temple. They received a future temple recommend too with a good quote on it. What a special day for them. 

Happy birthday to all of us and America! Hope your month is going well!

June

Summer is in full swing. We are in go-go-go mode. There is so much to talk about that I have to put it all in one post for each month. Otherwise I would have about 30 different posts. So here we go. 

Our ward has had family fun night sponsored by the elders quorum every Thursday night. Their best activity has been water kick ball. It was a blast. Luckily for us May and Luna were visiting and got to play along too. 

After we were all pooped out. 

My sister brought us some toys her son no longer wanted for us to go through. MJ was dead set on us not getting rid of this big Nerf gun. We won, she lost, no more Nerf gun that didn't really work anyways. :) 

RB's birthday was not very good this year. His main present came late and he knew what it was. So I spoiled him for Fathers Day and he loved it. The kids were so excited that he had to open one gift the night before. We love you!

The kids have been doing the weplayunplugged challenge. You do what the company says and then you get a badge. At the end of the summer you can get tickets for each badge to win prizes. So we have been doing lots of those. Splash pad, art, washing cars, Frisbee golf, and more. We still need to do exploring trips to sites, and pool fun. 

Temple trip with these ladies! So fun!

Splash Pad fun! After taking the first picture I told them to take five steps backwards. Hehe! 

Being attacked by wet children!

We watched a little boy and the Em-A-Nator loved sitting on his lap. He was so good to tolerate her. 

RB was on the channel 4 news with some of his students. It was fun to watch and the kids loved seeing their dad on TV. 

Ah, spit bubbles, chocolate, and hats. So cute!

Activity Days had a pinewood derby. The girls had a blast! Congrats Lil on 3rd place!

More elders quorum game night fun with jumbo soccer.

I had a student give me this plant and it has been in my window sill ever since. However, after knocking it over at least once a week I decided taking a picture of it would last longer. 

Family fun wouldn't be complete without Buddy Boy jumping on or over somebody.

A little late but video I found of the Em-A-Nator learning to walk.
