PT's Birthday

Hey there we have been busy and I have not posted since the 23rd of July, so I am going to do a lot of catching up this week so stay posted!

Well For PT's Birthday I asked him what he wanted to do and gave him a laundry list of choices and the one he chose was the park. So I called M and had her meet us there with her cute daughters and all.

We made sandwiches, bought chips and instead of ice cream or cake, we had sno-cones, we packed up our snocone machine and brought that and luckily there was power at the pavillion. That way when ice melts it's not that big of a deal, or near as messy as ice cream.

We opened presents there and he got a football and a softball set so the park was a great setting for the gifts as well! When O got home that night, he gave him his gift, a box of 22 bullets and later that week took him and B shooting, PT has wanted to do this since last October when the girls and I went through hunters education and had to practice.

When I asked him if he had a good birthday he said it was the best and very fun.

Happy 7th Birthday P.T.!!!

What I love about PT;
He loves to be silly
He loves to look at things and wonder what else he can do with them, inventive or otherwise!
His Laugh
He is very gentle
He will dance wherever he is just because he feels like it
His brother is his best friend
He loves his sisters but loves to play tricks on them!
I hope you have a great day, and wonderful year!

Independence Day!

Happy Fourth of July all, and we hope you had a great one! We had a fun day here as well, lots of family, fun and fireworks to top it off. My DH went into SLC on Thursday night with the girls to take back his Dad's Blazer (our Truck is not finished and waiting on parts). And then they came back with my parents, a niece and nephew, and my youngest sister on Friday night.


After a quick breakfast we all headed out to the parade route to see M's little one in our towns parade for the 4th. So we sat there and watched the parade. We sat across from the city offices and there is a Memorial in front, so at the beginning when the Vet's arrived a flag was raised by national guard, they took a moment and got out and saluted the memorial. And then the fun began with all the floats, a lot of water squirted and candy. We caught a glimpse of our little Ladybug she was facing the other side, but after being picked up by her Daddy she was cute as ever. The kids had great fun.

After the parade O and I went to the farmers market and got a few things, I really love farmers markets! It's nothing compared to downtown SLC. But I think the small size a bit more manageable. We got there right before and as it was ending so we will see how this weekend goes.

When we got home we packed up all the kids in swimsuits and went to red fleet reservoir, the section we ended up in was great for the older children but not younger. They went cliff jumping we weren't there long but had some great laughs!

At the BBQ, SZ brought her karaoke, too bad she didn't have a whole lot of music the kids knew, but it was just a lot of silliness!

M bought a new BBQ and that afternoon we broke it in, we did BBQ on Sun. too which was great because there were a lot of leftover salads-not any prep at all. Sunday we also had a birthday, my niece who was here, she turned double digits it was fun.

Then after the BBQ of course what else ends a 4th but fireworks-we went and saw the display by the town and it was enough fun for the kids. All worn out most were asleep by the 10 minute drive home. All in all it was a good 4th!
