4th of July

    The night before the 4th we all go up to Laura's house and have a camp out in her backyard.  It's lots of fun.  We had yummy cafe rio salads, ate ice cream floats, watched fireworks, had a outdoor movie and just hung out.  I sadly didn't charge my camera, so I only have a few pictures that I took on my phone.  Jesse and I slept outside in our tent.  I only lasted till about 2, than I went inside cuz the wind was so loud I couldn't sleep!  Than Dawson woke up at 4.  Stinker!

Watching the fireworks!  He loved them!

The 4th we woke up and had a yummy breakfast of eggs, pancakes, egg mcmuffins and bacon.  Than we all went swimming!  We love to swim.
  That night we went to Chucks and Lori's house and had a BBQ..... so yummy and so much fun.

These two wild monkeys are basically impossible to get a good picture of together!

Addie is a cutie!

Jesse and Dawson caught the parachute man!

It was a great 4th!  So grateful for this land I live in!

Yummy 4th of july popsicle!  :)  Gone!

Brighton Cabin

    Jesse, Dawson, Lori, Chuck, Jacob, Jake, Melanie, Ethen, Jennica, Brad, Addie and I just got back from spending three days up at the Flamm Brighton Cabin.  It was so much fun.  It is sooo pretty up there too.  We got up there Saturday night and had pizza and hung out.  The boys all went on a bike ride and the girls all went on a nice little hike up to dog lake.  It was really pretty and fun.  We stayed up till about 12 and played games. The next day we went to church and than just hung out all day.  It was nice and relaxing.  Dawson loved it up there.  We brought him his bike and he loved riding that in the dirt.  He loved playing with Addie as well.  He was saying "Addie" contantly.

We played a lot of ladder ball as well.  The boys were funny and would play high stakes.  Meaning the losing team would have to put there feet in the river for one minute.  I could barely last 20 seconds!  It was freezing!

On Monday the girls did a cute craft for the 4th of july.  They are firecrackers made out of wood.  Really cute.  IT was nice of Lori to get us all the supplies for them!

We even saw a moose!
Jesse, Dawson and I hiked up to lake mary on monday night.  It was really pretty and a good hike.  Dawson loved the back pack carrier that Jenn and Brad let us barrow.  Than Monday night we stayed up late again playing games.  We had a good time, lots of laughs and yummy treats.
It was a wonderful weekend.

Tomorrow.....

    Jesse comes home tomorrow and Dawson and I are very excited!  2 weeks is way too long!  We have missed him!
   Today Barb gave him a haircut and it was soooo stinking cute.  He sat there so well!  He was holding 2 tractors, so he was in heaven!  He kept smiling the whole time!

2 tractors= a happy Dawson!


Here are just some random pictures that I love!   My little sleepy head....

Tonight I couldn't find Dawson downstairs and I came in my room to find him like this.....
he loves books!  (and our bed!)

He also loves boxes.  He plays in them forever!  Inside are cars of course!

The other night we pulled out the pool and slide and he was loving it!

He likes to wave and say cheese  :)
Anyways....random post.  We are excited for Daddy to come home though!  :)

silly boy

     This silly little boy was being a cutie last night.  We went on a little bike ride and than he didn't want to take his helmet off.  (He never wants it off!)  Silly boy.  So we colored with chalk with his helmet on  :)

After we went in the backyard and this little boy can spot a ripe strawberry from a mile away!  Right when they are red they are picked by this little boy  :)  "Ummy"  he says.

love these chubby little hands.

The other night Grandpa came and mowed the lawn with Dawson on his back!  It was so cute!!!!  Thanks Grandpa!  Dawson loved it and kept saying "lawn mower" the whole time!

As you can see we are having a wonderful summer!  Hope you are too!  :)

Lagoon fun

Laura, Derek, Kaylee, Rach, Barb, Jensen, Jade, my Mom, Dawson and I went to Lagoon!  It was so much fun.  Dawson was in heaven!  He loved the rides!  It was so much fun watching him enjoy them.  

Kaylee was a big helper.  She loved to take Dawson on the rides with her!  She was such a cutie!  He loves her.  He loved this Jeep ride so much.  "car!"

More rides with Kaylee!
My mom, Jade, Rach, Jensen, Dawson and I went and walked around Pioneer village for a while.  Jade and Rach were so cute.  They couldn't believe all the old stuff and they were actually really interesed in it!  They were being naughty for a while so we put them in jail.  ;)  I had to go in first to show them that it wasn't that scary and that I wouldn't lock it.  haha

They thought this old phone was so cool.  Jade wanted to talk foever  :)

This was the first ride that he went on!  He smiled a lot!
After every ride he would say "gain!" for again!!!!

  This car one was my fav.  I remember it as a kid and loved it.

Dawson and his buddy Jensen!
We had a blast and by the end of the night Dawson was pooped!  Such a fun filled day!

Summer is here

   Summer is here and we are loving it!  Summer is my favorite time of the year!  I love pool days, BBQs, bike rides, tramps, hot cement, splash pads, popsicles, sprinklers, little chubby toes in flip flops, and so much more!  Dawson and I are having fun.  Today we went to the splash pad, which he loves!  Jesse, Dawson and I have been to 7 peaks once too.  Dawson loves the big slides with Daddy.  Jesse said that the whole way down Dawson says, "Whoa, whoa, whoa."  Such a funny little boy.  We are already loving everyday!

      This is Dawson with his first popsicle.  He loved it.  He liked sharing with us too.

"Here mom try it! It's good!!!"

I love mornings.  Dawson wakes up and we read books in my bed.  He loves it!  He ususally has to have a tractor or truck by him as we read  :)

Than we go downstairs and eat some cereal.  His new thing is putting all his trucks and tractors on the window seal.  I think it's cute....

Happy boy
