Summertime and Living Easy

(I write this and a few other posts a long time ago and never posted, oops! )

Guess what we found....a splash pad, in Kaysville! It's small, but so is Kaysville.

It was just me and the kids on this outing, and it was so fun. Carter learned that his mom is a wimp when it comes to cold water, but I finally convinced myself and Avenly that we would survive. And guess what, it's only cold for a minute, and yes, we survived that minute. :-)

Avenly saw other kids using the splash pad fixtures as drinking fountains and spent a good bit of time trying to get some water in her belly, but I just couldn't let that happen.

Family Dinner

Tonight was so fun. Nate's parents, grandma and sister (and family) came up for dinner. For dessert we roasted marshmallows and had s'mores. Louise was a pro and roasted perfect marshmallows. Carter just liked the chocolate, and Avenly loved the broccoli. (Yeah! ) But the best part of the night was the game Carter made up. Carter told everyone to do a specific action inspired by some stickers we had. He was the judge of who did the best. Grandma High won because she had the most stickers by the end of the night. Good memories made tonight. It would only have been better if Nate's whole family could have been here.

Yesterday's FUN

How much fun did you have yesterday? Because we had a blast! We went to a neighborhood playgroup in the morning and then we spent the afternoon helping my sister-in-law with her house, interrupted only by this even more "fun" incident on I-15:

Here's the pic descrip:
1. The tire (Thank you to the kind man who flagged us down on the free way before it all became tragedy.)

2. Eating a pudding snack with our fingers (bcz we had no spoons) to keep the kids happy while we waited for the Rescue Rangers to come help us.

3. Grandpa, who got to us before the rescue rangers and got things started. We send a huge Thank You to Grandpa!

Avenly's 1 Year Pictures

My cute Avenly!  She was perfect for her 1 year pictures, and rocked the smash cake!  Thanks Emily!

Pre-4th

It may be the day before the fourth, but we finally have a decoration for this fun holiday!  (Marshmallows are ok in the cookie jar, right? )

I can't wait to dress my kids up in red, white, and blue, catch enough candy to last us until Halloween at the parade (and maybe get totally soaked), eat carnival food, and be impressed by fireworks!

Happy Pre-4th of July!
