Summer Fun

We found a fun little place to play this summer with the kids. I think it will be a place we end up spending many summer days!!

Shaylee and me are a little scared to try the rope swings but Mike and the girls love them!!

Cotton Candy!!!!

Brooklyn got a cotton candy maker for her birthday and we have lots of fun making yummy cotton candy!!!

Trip to the Zoo

Taylor and Shaylee had doctor appointments at Primary Childrens Hospital this summer and we always try to do something fun as a family the day we go up for their appointments. The appointment went good and the girls were happy because they left with some goodie bags!!

They are just waiting for lab work :( its not their favorite but they are really good to have it done!

The girls have to fast for their blood work so we always go have a yummy meal at Red Robins after we leave the hospital!!

Off to the zoo we go!! We had so much fun. We have been to the zoo quite a few times but we had never seen the polar bear before. It was awesome to sit and watch him swim back and forth.. All of the animals were so active the day we went, So much fun!

24th of July

We always go over to my mom and dads for the 24th. We go to the parade and then have a yummy lunch! This year the kids had fun climbing a rock wall! After enjoying a fun day hanging out with the family we got to go to one of my favorite things, the derby, and watch my nephew Corbin crash up cars!!!!!

Taylors working on her machinery skills :)

Lamb Day

Lamb Day is always a lot of fun. We see family that we don’t get to see very often and the kids love playing with all of the cousins. Grandpa Larry had fun giving the kids rides on the 4 wheeler.

Sheep Show

The girls have been working really hard to get their sheep ready for the Lamb Day Sheep Show. They have fun spending time with their dad waking and feeding the sheep.

Taylor gets to sell her lamb in the sale. She loves making the money and she is so good with it. She pays for some of her school clothes with the money she makes and saves the rest for something she really wants. She is thinking about redecorating her room with some of the money this year. She sold her lamb for $500!!!

Time for Braces :)

So I always thought you got braces when you were in high school sometimes middle school, but not anymore! Taylor got braces this summer at 9 years old!! She was pretty excited to get them which is really nice because when I got mine I was 14 and I thought getting braces was just awful so im glad she can have them now and not be so self conscious about them. We have been really lucky and not only does she look very cute with them but they really haven’t bothered her to bad!!!

The girls were just as excited as she was :)
