Happy happy birthday Kaelene...

Kaelene is 5 now and gets to go to Kindergarten.

We love to hang out with Kaelene in her swimming pool and at family parties.

She is a big help with Cole.

Sometimes she wears glasses and looks so pretty in them.

Hope you had a great birthday!

They have arrived...

The Romney's have arrived! Monday, July 14 Aunt LaSchelle and kids got here. Uncle Kurt came Tuesday - we are so HAPPY to have them here!

Poor Tyler has been VERY sick though and we feel so bad for him.

Bucket of TOYS...

This may look like JUST a bucket of toys, but oh it is much much more.

In our last house we lived five houses from the park. We would play there a lot. We began using this bucket because it was easy to carry and a great place for the sand to stay (not in the stroller/garage/house). It has now become like a member of our family when we go to the park we grab it. It has entertained our kiddos and other little ones for hours. It is amazing how a box this size with this amount of toys can entertain a massive amount of kids.

Yesterday Larissa and I took our kids to a park nearby (we could do it because of the monsoon weather) and of course packed bikes, balls, scouters, and the sand toy bucket. We were the only ones there for a long time and then people started coming in mass amounts. Here we were at this fun park with lots of new updated equipment to play on and what did all the kids want to play with, yep our sand toys. Some just wanted a shovel, some a truck, some a measuring cup and some a bucket. It is amazing to me how much kids like to play in the sand. I am grateful to have something as simple and easy to tote around as our "bucket of toys!" Lot's of memories have been made.

Uncle Logan to the reScuE?

Uncle Logan came to our aid this week. I needed to work two days with Oma cleaning and Lindsey had volleyball camp in the mornings.

Uncle Logan's work is real SLOW right now so he came to our aid. He even changed several poopie diapers. We love Uncle Logan!!

Thanks so much!

Papa Larsen HOW old are you?

Papa always smiles when he sees us.

He comes as much as he can to our activities.

He loves it when we come over on Friday's for PIZZA night.

He loves the temple.

He always tells us "I LOVE you" before we leave his house or get off the phone with him.

We hope you had a SUPER day ...

Cole's FIRST theatre movie!

Tuesday, July 8 we went to the movies. Larissa and Lisa bought the summer movie package, so we tagged along. It was Cole's FIRST theatre movie. We saw "Alvin and The Chipmunks". He made it through half of it before we walked the hallway. He is ALL two. He did not want to take pictures. Doesn't he know I have to blog everything we do?

Boy is he on one!
He wanted to play in the video game section. I was hoping he wouldn't see that section. He is SO mad.
