Ensign Peak

On our drive to Cherry Hill yesterday, Ryan said, "I've never hiked to the top of Ensign Peak."  So I texted Lucas and Shellie and asked them if we could do a picnic at memory grove and hike Ensign Peak after for our Sunday dinner.  They said if we thought Ryan could make it... it was his idea!!!  We didn't actually end up going into memory grove, we just had a picnic at the city creek park near by.

The hike to the top of memory grove was very memorable... with kids:)  The views were great and it was a good workout!!  Ryan made it with Terek on his back!
Brenner and Joren didn't want to be in the picture.

Cherry Hill

We took the kids to Cherry Hill on Saturday for the 1st time.  It was a fun water park.  We liked the lazy river the best because the water was nice and warm!!!

All wet

I took the kids down to the lake to "wade" in the water. Soon enough Joren was up to his neck! That kid!

Seriously, what is it about Cheetos?????

He fell asleep in his high chair twice today eating cheetos?  do they have some sort of drug in them?  why is my kid eating cheetos all the time?  well, because it keeps him from being grumpy.  and apparently makes him fall asleep.

If I ever ask you to baby sit, tell me NO, because my baby is too grumpy and you don't want him to cry the whole time.... or if you really love me and you know how desperate I am for a baby sitter, tell me that you will only if I provide the Cheetos!!!

Rivers... part of the I love Daybreak series

On the north part of the lake closer to our house, there is this cool river lined with huge rocks that runs into the lake. It is so fun to climb around on the rocks and wade in the water.

I just love all of the fun things they have done with the lake at Daybreak. There is never ending fun for the kids!

9 month guessing game

Which one is which?

Rain, rain, go away, come another day.

We went camping to Huntington Lake again this memorial weekend.  Lucas planned this trip out 3 months ago for his family and ours.  It' s a really fun place to go camping.

Except that it rains on us every year.  One night of rain was enough for us, so we packed up and came home early.
Gotta love the little things that keep them entertained.

Terek turns 9 months

Yesterday Terek turned 9 months old.  He is such a fun boy.  It is so easy to make him laugh.  He is happy all the time!  He has just finished cutting his top teeth, so he has 6 teeth now.  He loves Cheetos and olives, but is still a pretty good eater about a lot of foods.  He's still not crawling yet, but I'm not going to complain!  He loves to splash in the water... he loves the tub and he loves the pool!

Hamster Obsession

So, the kitties next door are gone.... the neighbors gave them all away on KSL.  Now I don't have to have Joren up in the morning at 7:00 asking if can go to the neighbors and see the kitties.  And thanks for all the comments and help... I really didn't want a cat.

However, Joren has become quite obsessed with Tagg... Brenner's hamster.  He won't leave the poor thing alone.  He gets up first thing in the morning and runs downstairs to get him.  He carries him around everywhere.   Hopefully the poor thing lives through Joren.

Pre-school Grad

Today was Brenner's pre-school graduation.  What a big boy he has become!!!

They had a fun little program where they had the kids sing and read a couple of books.  Then they got their diplomas and we had treats.  It felt like he was so big.  He is very excited to go to kindergarten.
