MORE FUN!

SUNDAY WE WENT TO TAYLORSVILLE TO VISIT BRYAN'S RELATIVES. kAYDEN FELL ASLEEP ON THE WAY THEIR AND DIDN'T WAKE WHEN I MOVED HIM INTO THE HOUSE. AFTER DINNER THE KIDS WANTED TO PLAY ON THE SWING SET IN THEIR BACKYARD EVEN THOUGH IT WAS GOING TO RAIN. KANYON WENT STRAIGHT FOR THE BABY SWING AND THEN COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET OUT. KAYDEN PLAYED WITH A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING. WHEN IT STARTED TO RAIN BRYAN'S BROTHER BRAD AND HIS WIFE CHELSEY STOPPED BY ON THEIR WAY BACK TO LOGAN TO VISIT US. IT WAS REALLY NICE TO SEE THEM.

TRAV AND SUE'S

PART OF THE TIME WE WERE IN SLC WE STAYED AT OUR FRIENDS TRAV AND SUE'S HOUSE. THEY HAVE THE CUTEST LITTLE BOY THAT IS JUST A LITTLE OLDER THEN KAYDEN. BRYAN AND TRAV HAVE BEEN FRIENDS MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND HIS WIFE SUE IS SO FUN TO HANG OUT WITH. THEY HAVE THIS MINITURE TRAMPOLINE FOT THEIR LITTLE BOY AND KAYDEN LOVED IT HE KEPT FIGHTING WITH THE OTHER KIDS SO HE COULD STAY ON IT. THEIR HOUSE HAS THIS BEAUTIFUL MURAL IN THEIR DINING ROOM THAT TRAV'S MOM PAINTED FOR THEM. SHE IS SO TALENTED.

3D

AFTER THE AQUARIUM WE WENT TO THE MOVIE'S AND SAW JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH IN 3D. THE KIDS DID REALLY GOOD WITH KEEPING THEIR GLASSES ON AND EVEN GOT A FEW GIGGLES WHENEVER THINGS WOULD JUMP OUT AT US. DON'T WE LOOK SO STYLISH IN OUR 3D GLASSES.

AQUARIUM

WE WENT TO SALT LAKE CITY FOR THE WEEKEND BECAUSE BRYAN HAD SOME TRAINING THERE ON MONDAY. ON SATURDAY WE WENT TO AN AQUARIUM, IT WAS KIND OF LITTLE BUT STILL ENJOYABLE. WE GOT TO TOUCH THE TOPS OF STING RAYS BUT KANYON WAS TO AFRAID TO TOUGH THEM. THE KIDS LOVED SEEING LOTS OF NEMO'S.

Water Park

LAST WEEK KANYON HAD HEALED ENOUGH FOR US TO GO TO THE WATER PARK. THE KIDS LOVED IT! THIS PARK WAS AWESOME. IT HAS A SLIDE BUT MY KIDS ARE TO AFRAID TO GO DOWN IT. THE WATER ONLY GET LIKE 3 FEET DEEP SO BOTH OF MY KIDS CAN TOUCH WITHOUT GOING UNDER WATER. THERE IS A PLAYGROUND RIGHT NEXT TO THE WATER AREA AND SOME OTHER KIDS BROUGHT SOME TOYS TO SHARE AND THE KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME PLAYING IN THE SAND.

WARNING: WOUND PICTURES

LAST FRIDAY KANYON DECIDED IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO GET HIS NOODLES OUT OF THE MICROWAVE ON HIS OWN. NORMALLY I WOULD BE RIGHT THERE WHEN THE MICROWAVE BEEPS BUT HE TOOK IT OUT WITH 3 SECONDS LEFT ON THE TIMER. HE SCREAMED THE MOST AWFUL SCREAM OF PAIN I HAVE EVER HEARD. I HELPED HIM RIP HIS SHIRT OFF BUT IT WAS TO LATE HE WAS ALREADY BURNT PRETTY BAD. BRYAN CAME HOME AND TOOK HIM TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. I FOLLOWED SHORTLY BEHIND WITH KAYDEN. THEY SAID HE HAS 2ND DEGREE BURNS AND WE HAVE A SPECIAL BURN CREAM TO PUT ON IT. WE ALSO HAVE TO KEEP HIM WELL BANDAGED AS YOU CAN SEE. HE ACTUALLY BURNT HIS NIPPLE AND IT LOOKS SO PAINFUL. THANKFULLY THE DOCTORS SAID HE WILL MOST LIKELY HEAL WITH LITTLE OR NO SCARRING. WE ALSO COULDN'T GO TO THE WATER PARK THIS WEEK BECAUSE KANYON CAN'T GET IN THE WATER AND I DECIDED IT WOULD BE JUST TO HARD TO ENFORCE THAT WHEN ALL OF HIS FRIENDS ARE IN THE WATER. OH AND ALL THE GREY STUFF ON HIS CHEST IS JUST FROM THE MEDICAL TAPE AND IT WON'T WASH OFF SO IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS IT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

PLAYING AT THE PARK

EVERY MONDAY WE GET TOGETHER WITH A BIG GROUP AND GO TO DIFFERENT WATER PARKS IN THE AREA. IT IS REALLY FUN IT GETS THE KIDS WORN OUT AND THE MOMS GET TO SOCIALIZE. THE PARK WE WENT TO LAST WEEK WAS REALLY COOL. WE WERE THERE FOR OVER FOUR HOURS. KANYON WAS PLAYING WITH A GROUP OF KIDS AND WHEN THEY SAW ME TAKING PICTURES THEY WANTED TO BE IN THE PICTURE TO. THOSE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF THE KIDS THAT WERE THERE. KAYDEN LIKES TO PLAY BY HIMSELF MOST OF THE TIME. HE SPENT MOST OF HIS TIME ON THE SPLASH PAD. WHEN THE WATER THAT SHOT OUT OF THE GROUND WOULD GO DOWN HE WOULD GET DOWN ON HIS KNEES AND PUT HIS FACE RIGHT UP TO THE HOLE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WERE THE WATER WENT. WHEN THE WATER CAME BACK IT GOT HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE EVERY TIME. I DIDN'T GET VERY GOOD PICTURES OF IT BUT I SURE TRIED. THERE WAS ALSO A TRAIN CART IN THE PARK THE KIDS LOVED IT YOU CANT GO IN IT BUT THEY SURE LOVED CLIMBING ON IT.

DINOSAUR MUSEUM

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WE WENT TO THE LOCAL COLLEGE WERE THEY HAVE COPIES OF DINOSAUR BONES. AT FIRST KANYON WAS REALLY SCARED BUT BEFORE THE END HE REALLY LIKED IT. KAYDEN DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. BRYAN WAS FASCINATED.

WORN OUT!

THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN ON OUT TRIP TO ST. GEORGE. WE ARE NOT USED TO THE HEAT ANYMORE, SO A SHORT RIDE TO KMART AND THE KIDS WERE OUT. THE KIDS HAVE A TRUNDLE BED BUT I STOPPED PULLING OUT THE TRUNDLE BECAUSE, THIS IS HOW I WOULD FIND THEM IN THE MORNING SHARING A BED. THEY PREFER TO SHARE. IF YOU LOOK CLOSE YOU CAN SEE THE SWEAT FROM BEING IN THE HOT CAR. THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE THERE I FELT LIKE I WAS WET AND COULDN'T DRY OFF. I AM REALLY ENJOYING THE WYOMING WEATHER RIGHT NOW!

4TH OF JULY

THE 4TH WYOMING STYLE

WE HAD A GREAT TIME AT THE CITIES FIREWORK SHOW. ON OUR WAY THERE I GOT MAD BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE SHOW HAD STARTED A HALF AN HOUR EARLY BUT SOON WE REALIZED THAT NOT ALL OF THE FIREWORKS WERE COMING FROM THE SAME PLACE. WE STARTED LOOKING IN EVERY DIRECTION AND EVERY WHERE WE LOOKED THERE WERE FIREWORKS IN THE SKY. WE HAD FORGOTTEN THAT IN WYOMING THE FIREWORK REGULATIONS ARE DIFFERENT. ALL OF THE FIREWORKS WERE PEOPLE AT THEIR HOMES LIGHTING FIREWORKS THAT YOU COULD ONLY SEE FROM A DISTANCE IN ST. GEORGE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE KIDS WERE THRILLED. WE GOT TO WATCH FIREWORKS FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR WHEN THE CITIES SHOW WAS ONLY LIKE 20 MINUTES. WHEN WE WERE LEAVING THE GOLF COURSE THESE KIDS WERE LIGHTING FIREWORKS OFF RIGHT AS WE PASSED BY AND IT MADE ME JUMP BECAUSE THE FIREWORK LOOKED LIKE IT EXPLODED, UNTIL I SAW THAT IT HAD REALLY SHOT UP TO THE SKY. I HAD NEVER BEEN SO CLOSE TO ANY FIREWORK THAT SHOT INTO THE SKY IT WAS KIND OF SCARY.
