My Little Pony Party

Today is Sarah Parkin's birthday party.  She is turning 4 years old.  She decided to have a My Little Pony birthday party.  The pool was filled, they have a trampoline, a swing set, and also a dirt pile the kids love to play in.  All the cousins were able to come.  Amy planned some fun games that the kids loved.  The kids all had to pick a cutie mark and a pony name.  So we did a little face painting.  They also did a balloon relay race. And they played ballon volleyball.  The kids played so good together.  They had cake and ice cream and opened presents.  The kids didn't want to go home after the party so we went inside and played with Ethan and Sarah's toys and stayed until dinner time.  We had a great day with cousins. 

Brynlee!!

Brynlee is not feeling good today.  She has a fever and just wants to be cuddled.  I am sad that she is not feeling good but I am loving the extra cuddle time.  She is such a sweet little girl even being sick.  She just wants to watch her movies.  She has quite a few favorites like Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Ponies, Mickey Mouse, and any princess shows.  Her fever reached 103 so I called Dan and asked him to come home and give her a blessing.  Dan came right home and brought Jason and they blessed her.  After the blessing she was able to go to sleep.  After her nap she was playing and acting more like her self.  I am so grateful for Dan and all he does for our family.

Coloring Contest

Today we got out the glitter glue, crayons, markers, foamies, stickers, colored pencils, markers and coloring books.  The kids all took there time and created a master piece.  We decided to have a coloring contest.  The boys colored Captain American pictures and Looney Toones pictures.  The girls colored Strawberry Shortcake pictures and LaLa Loopsey pictures.  After they finished the pictures then they built boats with popcicle sticks.  They all made boats with sails and decorated the boats really cute.  

Mirror Lake

Today we decided to go for a drive.  We packed up our dinner and decided to go to the Uintah's.  We ate our dinner at the Provo Falls.  We sat on a huge rock and enjoyed the beautiful view.  The kids explored all around the falls.  Then we packed up and drove to Mirror Lake.  I love Mirror Lake.  It is so beautiful.  We walked the trail and board walk around the lake.  We saw a few deer and some fish jump out of the lake.  We had such a nice time.  On the way home we saw so many deer that we lost count.  It was 9:15pm when we left so it was really dark.  There were so many deer on the side of the road.  They would just jump out in front of the van.  Dan was a really cautious and drove slow.  This was such an awesome night.

Date Night - so fun!!!

Today Britton had a game early in the morning which was nice to beat the heat.  He played so awesome.  He got his first goal.  Hooray!!!  He had so much energy and was able to use it very wisely.  He is loving Stikers.  He has his first tournament next week and is excited to play a whole week of soccer.
After Britton's game we decided to go for a little hike.  We tried to drive up Farmington Canyon but the road was closed so we went to the trail around Lagoon.  It was very short but it was shaded by some large trees, so the kids loved it. 
Then it was date night for Dan and I.  We needed a night out.  We got Maya to come over so the kids were very happy.  Dan and I wanted to do something different.  So Dan suggested to go to Trampoline Park.  The cashier gave us a buy one get one entry.  We jumped for an hour and were exhausted.  It was so fun.  Dan did a one and a half flip and landed face first in the foam pit.  I finally got the courage to do a flip and loved it.  We felt like little kids and laughed so hard.  We also played dodge ball, basketball and ran all around.  It was a great workout.  Then we went to Olive Garden for dinner.  This was such a great night.  We also played peanuts once we got the kids in bed.  I love my husband. 

Britton's first scout camp out

Britton got to go on his first camp out.  He has a great eleven year old scout leader.  Bishop Riley and Brother Carrington are his leaders.  They asked Dan to go with them.  The scouts are Britton, Reese, Logan, Dammon, and Caden.  They were headed for South Fork.  So the kids and me are going to have a movie night and a sleep over in my room.  The kids love to sleep in our room.  Please be safe Britton.

Our way of boating

Today we went to Pineview.  Amy, Cassie and I took the kids to Pineview for the day.  We had so nuch fun.  We got to the lake at 10:30 and stayed until 5:00.  It was great weather with even better company.  The kids had fun swimming and playing in the sand.  The boys dug the biggest hole.  We bought two little boats and the kids could row and row all over.  We borrowed ores from Grandpa Mack.  The boats were a little hard to control because of the wind but they still had fun, especially when the waves would come.  We love Pineview days!!!
