No Binkie . . . . . .

For a minute. Is seems like every picture we take of this cute kid he has a plug in his mouth. He really doesn't always have it in, just most of the time. I think it's just a security thing for him, I can't say blanket because he always has that with him too. What a kid.

Swim Lesson

Well swimming lessons went pretty well this year. Lots better than last year I will say that. Kendrick had a great time and really learned a lot. Makenna had a rough few days, she cried and cried until I was ready to cry myself. I did a little bit of bribing. I told her one day we could go to Wendy's and eat if she didn't cry. She did really good and held it together. The next day I told her we could get a Snow Shack if she didn't cry and again she didn't. By the third day she was just fine. So we finished the session and I hope she learned something too.

Our Summer Fun

We have gone to a few parades this summer. Strawberry Days, Richfield's 4th of July, and St. Anthony's 24th of July this kids love it. They have fun chasing all that candy. This year they decided to have a sell out in front of our house. They sold the candy they caught at the parade. The had a great time and could figure out 1 penny for 1 candy.




We have spent lots of time at the lake. This year Kendrick and Makenna have waterskied. They had fun. Kendrick wants to go everyday. Makenna isn't sure she wants to do it again right away but it was fun to see them out there for a change.


Coach Cade and Kendrick played coach pitch baseball they both had a lot of fun coaching and playing. Makenna and Kale did pretty good most of the time watching.

The Rodeo

We always go to the Strawberry Day's Rodeo if not for the entertainment for the Strawberries and Cream, they are so good. This year Kendrick really wanted to do the Muttin Bustin, Cade took him down early to see if they could get him on the list and sure enough they did but then right before it started he decided he didn't want to do that. We had a great time watching all of the events, Muttin Bustin, Wild Cow Milking, Cash Cow, and of course the rest of the Rodeo. The half time entertainment was the favorite. It was 2 guys with their Motorcycles and 2 big ramps. They would jump back and forth and do back flips. It was really cool. Kendrick was in heaven. We had a great time as always.

Strawberry Days

It was Strawberry Days in Pleasant Grove the week of June 16-21st we haven't usually done much but go to the Rodeo. So this year we decided to walk in the Children's Parade. We walked with our ward which had us all wear Red Shirts with a sign that showed where we came from, trying to show that all road lead us to Strawberry Day's in Pleasant Grove. We had a map from Idaho and Utah with a Potatoe and a Turkey that lead to Pleasant Grove with Strawberries. The kids helped make them and had fun. But the Parade was so HOT! We won't be doing that again. The kids were all mad before the parade even started it was just too hot. The photos are right when we got out of the car so they are still excited.

Catching Up

So it has been soooooo long since I have blogged. I am sure no one is even reading this anymore. Which is fine its just for my own sack. Anyway I will try and back track through the summer now that it is almost over.
