Lehman's Cave

For our family vacation this year, we went to Great Basin National Park in Nevada. We took a tour of Lehman's Cave, and it was really neat. I kind of wish the lady had talked less and showed us more, but I guess some people like the stories. Here are some pictures of the cave:

July 4th at Lagoon

For the 4th of July, we went with some of my favoritest people (Jason and Dallas, Geoff and Felicia, and their fun kids) to Lagoon. It wasn't very crowded at all, and we had a fun time!

During lunch, Allston decided to feed Ethan. He did it for awhile, and it was so cute!

These are all out of order. At the end of the night, while the girls were waiting in line to go on a roller coaster, Ethan and Kevin went on this car ride over and over. As soon as they got done, they'd run back around to the line and get on again.

Here are the boys on an airplane ride.

The men and kids rode the skyride, while Dallas and I walked across to the other side (cause of the strollers). Ethan is so little there in the corner.

Here's Troy taking a bunch of the kids on a boat ride thingy.

These next two pictures crack me up. Good faces!

Troy and Kevin

Ethan and Allston

All the little kids (and Olivia) on some ride that I don't think I've ever seen. It looks like a cool spaceship or something.

We had a lot of fun, and it was a good day. Thanks, Jason, for planning it!

Random Pictures

Here are a few various pictures from the past couple of months.

This is Kaitlyn and her friends from school.
Here's our lizard, Willow. She likes to climb up and sit on the glass like this. You can see Loki sitting on the log. He's our lazy one.

If Ethan doesn't get enough nap (or doesn't get one at all), he gets very tired during dinner. There were other times I wish I would have had the camera, because he was drinking from his cup with his eyes closed and his head swaying.

Kaitlyn was in a Shakespeare play at school. They did Hamlet, and she played Laertes. This was the best picture we got. We really need a new camera!

Thomas the Train

A couple months ago we went with Trudy's family to Heber City to ride on the train there. The theme was Thomas the Train. I guess the kids liked it okay, but we were kind of disappointed, because all it did was ride down the track for about 10 minutes and then come back the same way. We probably wouldn't do it again, especially for how much it cost.

Here are a few pictures:

Blogging Slacker

I've really been slacking in the blogging department. There really is no reason other than that I haven't been in the mood. I'm sure I have some pictures on my camera to upload. We've done one or two fun things. I'm just too lazy to get anything on my blog, I guess.

Troy took this week off work. He wanted to get our grass up on the side of the driveway and house so that we can put cement there, but the constant rain has prevented that. So instead we've been trying to organize the unfinished part of the basement (which we haven't even really touched since we moved in). We're going to make a workout room in the unfinished area. We'll see if it'll motivate me to work out. Most likely not, but at least all my workout stuff will be in one place.

We also bought a cute chair and ottoman to go in my window area in my bedroom so I can have a reading area. I like it. That's pretty much all that is going on right now. When I don't have a sleeping child on my lap maybe I'll pick up the really heavy camera, pull out the memory card, and upload pictures to my computer. I'll have to rest up before I attempt any of that.

Kaitlyn and Weslynn

A couple of Sundays ago we had Steven and Chanell and Scott and Robin (and their darling baby, Weslynn) over for dinner. It's always fun having family over, and I wish we could do it more often. We just don't think ahead enough, I guess.

Soccer

Kevin is playing soccer. He's a funny kid. I don't think he ever touches the ball. I'm not sure he even realizes that's what he's out there for. I have to yell at him (in a nice way, I'm not a mean sports mom) every once in awhile to go play, and motion towards the ball. He's having fun anyway, so that's all that matters.

Here he is at his first game. He's the one facing the camera. It was freezing that day.
And here he is in his uniform that is probably 5 sizes too big. Why can't they get these tiny kids uniforms that will fit?
