Floating down the Provo River.....

On the 24th we decided it would be fun to go floating down the Provo River with the kids. So my sister (Trinnie),her husband (Brett), and their five kids (soon to be 6), my mom, step dad and our family got all of our stuff together to down the river. We have never done that before and couldn't believe how much fun it was. The kids had such a great time! Kaitlyn had fun jumping back and forth between my tube and Tim's. It took us about 45min to float down, but it was so much fun that we decided to go again. On the second ride down my mom took Kaitlyn with her and so I ended up floating down by myself. When we got to the bottom my mom asked me if Kaitlyn has ever said the word "boob" before. I told her that I have never heard her say it. I guess she was saying it most of the way down (and pointing at where they are.) I'm sure you're thinking what are you teaching your kids? But, honestly I have no idea where she heard that word. At least my mom got some good entertainment out of it!

Well, after floating the river we decided to go to the Pizza Factory for dinner. It was really good and fun to spend the day with family. Although that night my sister, nephew and I were all sick when we got home. I think my sister got it the worst, which is really sucky for her being pregnant and all. We all felt good the next day though, so who knows what made us sick?

We saved the fireworks for the next night considering we were all tired and some of us weren't feeling well. Tim and Brett had so much fun lighting off all of the fireworks! They are the ones from Wyoming...... so they put on quite a show! Kaitlyn wasn't so fond of them she made me plug her ears and she closed her eyes.... she did watch a few of them though. Makayla on the other hand absolutely loved them! She went right down to the end of the driveway to get a closer look. What a fun night!

A Walk down Memory Lane...

I've seen this game on so many peoples blogs since I left and decided to join in on all of the fun!
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

A fun new boating toy.... Surfing!!!

On Friday night we left the girls with Grandma and Grandpa and went boating with some friends of ours ( Dan & Shannon) who own a boat. There were 4 couples all together who went and we had a blast!! Tim and I tried out the surf board for our first time ever and it was so much fun. I don't have any pictures of me, but I thought I better get some of Tim his second time up so we had at least a few. Tim did much better than I did, but I still had a blast out there!! It's always fun to try new things every now and then. We are looking forward to going back to Lake Powell this weekend and trying out some new wakeboards we just bought. Hope everyone else is having a great summer and doing lots of fun stuff!!!

What did you stick up your nose???

Earlier this week, I had told the girls they could go outside and play on their playset and I would be out in a few minutes.......... BIG MISTAKE. So a couple minutes later Makayla comes walking inside and tells me that Kaitlyn had stuck a rubber pellet up her nose ( they are underneath the playset to give you some cusion from the ground) Anyway Kaitlyn comes into the house right after with a bloody nose on both sides. So I try and get her to blow into a kleenex to get it out, but she didn't want me even touching her nose. To make a long story short I ended up taking her to the doctors office and she had stuck 2 rubber pellets up her nose ( one up each nostril) It took the doctors assistant and myself to hold her down so the doctor could get them out. These are pictures I took of her coming home from the doctor's office. She was perfectly fine once we left...... we are hoping it will only take that one time for her to realize not to stick those up your nose.
