okay, I know, I have been a very bad blogger. I felt like a horrible mom for the first couple weeks of summer cuz we were always cleaning, or running errands or having nap time and my poor kids were deprived of just playing! The last couple weeks...not so much! We have been busy, busy, busy doing lots of fun stuff!
Here is an attempted update!
A big to do was our trip to Lagoon (courtesy of A Plus Benefits summer party) This was a first for our kids and Mike and I haven't been since before we were married so it was quite the surprise for all of us. The kids were completely mesmerized with all the rides and the fun things to do.
Adi's favorite ride was the shoot-you-up-and-drop-you ride (kids style). She also braved the white roller coaster with mom - and hated EVERY second of it.
Did I mention that Angie was nice enough to hang out with us? And besides the kids fighting NOT to ride with me (ang is much more fun) it was a blast to be able to go on a few adult rides!
Mike wowed us all with his attempt to make it up this ladder and win a stuffed{ugly} animal, bigger than all 3 of our kids. So close, so close!
In the end, after all the fun, we were all hot, exhausted and filthy! Here is a shot of Luke's toes to prove it!
The next day we were off for a weekend at the cabin! We had so much fun hanging out with Jake, Tanja (mike's sis) and their family! My highlight was the s'mores! But the late night talks of politics was a close second! ;)
Last week was full of birthday parties, swimming days (thanks Amie & Beth), cousins, and even a couple movies!
And as promised - the Lehi Roundup Rodeo!
This is a definite new family tradition (I would've gone all 3 nights) and except for the scary bleachers that we lost a couple flags, licorice and bottled water to - it was perfect!
Dad loved the clowns, Mom loved all the 8 second riders, Adi was mesmerized by the cowgirls who looked like princesses to boot, Luke informed us that he is going to be a motorcycle jumper when he grows up due to the half time(?) show that he loved and Paislee loved the treats and entertaining us with horse/cow noises. See ya there next year!
And that my friends is our last 2 weeks - in a nutshell!
