Tanner Flats

Two of my sisters are in town for a couple of weeks, so we have been packing in the fun while they're here! After taking a tour of the Oquirrh Mountain temple, we packed a picnic lunch and headed up to Tanner Flats. We took a short hike up some rocks and played in the roaring river for a while.
Logan and I are playing in the water. I was only slightly paranoid of him falling in and washing away.

It seems like Logan always has this drugged look on his face when I take pictures of him.

Of course, it ws beautiful up there and we were happy to show of nature to Logan. Lizzy didn't seem as thrilled with it. That may have been due to the fact that she was in desperate need of a nap.

Hope you enjoyed, and if you want to read more about our life, keep on scrolling!

4th of July Fun

This is my sister Risa. We had both been taking pictures of things happening all around us, and then we found each other in our camera's sights!
Waiting, waiting, waiting...get dark already!

It didn't take Logan long to dig in to some home made ice cream.!

Fun with sparklers.

The mess of fireworks before it even got dark!

4th of July

Almost every year we spend the 4th at my mom's house. About 10 years ago she started a neighborhood tradition called, "The Cul-de-sac of Fire"! Basically, all the neighbors are invited to the cul-de-sac my mom lives in and they have a huge bbq and pot luck dinner. Homemade ice cream is always involved as well.
This was the prettiest girl at the party.

I spent the day before the 4th painting nails for all the women in the family.

My sister-in-law did some face painting for the children...

and for the adults who think they are children.

This family is happy to live in a free country. It's our favorite holiday and we had a lot of fun, as usual!

Happy 4th!

Never one to neglect celebrating a holiday, I whipped these little gems up! Aren't they perty?
If you are one of the lucky ones to bite into one of these, you will be pleased to find a blue filling. (Celebratory color of course.) Mmmm...I can't wait until tonight!

Happy 4th of July!

Buzzed Head

We were getting ready to give Logan a haircut when we just decided to buzz it. We got a good laugh out of buzzing the top of his head first; it made him look like an old man.

Sorry, I couldn't get the best picture of it. Also, sorry to Mom, I know you hate it. Give it a week and it will look better.

I just had to include this picture. Lizzy was being so cuddly with James and it was ADORABLE!

Today's Fashion

I forgot to add this picture to my last post. (That means keep on scrolling down.) Logan has been dressing himself lately, and aside from putting the clothes on backwards, he does a fine job choosing and dressing himself. Until today that is.And because I know you are all struggling to read it, his underwear says, "School Rocks!".

Birthday and Hanging Out

Logan turned 3 on Monday. It was a pretty low key birthday for him. I'm not much into celebrating, and neither is James. In fact, I'm pretty sure we forgot to sing happy birthday to him. We just lit his candles and he blew them out!

Checking out the smoke. See the excitement oozing out of him? Yeah, that excitement is the reason there was no real party.

The excitement continued with the opening of the presents. James looks more thrilled than Logan! Actually, Logan started getting into the present opening. He even added some gasps of excitement once he got the present open.

In this picture Logan just got hit in the head with his new spider man punching toy. It's one of those things you punch and it bounces back. Despite what he looks like in the picture, he loves it. Our friends brought him the fish. Even though its purpose is for the water, it has become Logan's new trampoline, another favorite now.

One day James decided Lizzy was in the way, so he hung her up. Ok, that's not true, but she was quite content to hang out there and it made for a funny picture.
