Captains' Underpants!

"Silly silly silly!", said in a voice from the movie with Burger Meister Meister Burger in it. BHAHAHA!

Pioneer Day

Today we celebrated Pioneer Day commemorating Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley in Utah. They were forced to leave Nauvoo, Illinois and head west. The stake provided dinner and all the festivities. Gotta love the face paint and the large waterslide!!

Garden Fun

Jon worked hard this past spring getting our garden ready. He did a great job with the drip system and manure laced dirt. Look at this harvest! And this is just a portion of it. It's fun to see food grow. It's easy to forget that food comes from our wonderful earth and that someone worked hard to plant, maintain and harvest such wonderful foods. Sometimes I think it just magically appears in grocery stores. We were able to make salsa from our garden for our homemade fried chips in coconut oil. Definitely a hit with everyone!

New Paint

We finally got our house painted. NO MORE BLACK!! I prefer the "no haunted house look" and we achieved it. The outside definitely reflects the inside and we couldn't be happier with decks finished so we don't get slivers. Thanks to some hard earned money burnt.

Snake in the Pool!

Seriously GROSS! If my mom was here she would have screamed. I remember the time when Johnny was younger he brought home a snake in his backpack and she hit the fan! I think this came out of the fill spout of the pool. It's been hot hot hot! Hurray for ice cream sandwiches, bare butts with dark tan lines and some good togetherness!

2 Weeks, just 2 weeks

So do you like this big hunk of machinery?! Well, so does Jon. BUT his trend is to "love 'em and leave 'em". This one lasted at our house for 2 weeks and I never even drove it or rode in it. Luckily the kids did and they had a blast riding in it from Ceres to home. I had to put in this picture of Taylee because these are the same shoes that Rylee wore when she was this age and it reminded me of the simple days. I love these sillies!

Blue Devils

Congratulations Blake! He made the Blue Devils marching band "B Core". This is a big accomplishment for him. Jon went down to Elk Grove to watch a performance. Go Blake!

Backyard Swimming

Can I just tell you how much we LOVE having a pool in our backyard?! I don't have to pack anything up or anyone up and Britlee can even sleep in her own bed for a nap! By the way, no floaties for Brody. He nixed those at the beginning of the summer. I love my cute little guppies!

6 Flags Discovery Kingdom

We are so glad that we got season passes this year! We had such a blast seeing the elephant show and the sleeping/peeing tigers. Seriously, watch out! Plus with all the rides for the little ones; everyone is happy! Jon got to do a lot of rides with Taylee because she is so little. She is a crack up and wanted to go again and again and again! We found the water park portion of it and we didn't bring our bathing suits. Taylee got soaked and she wanted her clothes off. I later was told by managers that she had to put her wet clothes back on. NO NAKED BABIES!

Random

These happened on the same day. Let me tell you a little about Britlee. She is alwasy smiling!! What a little ANGEL!!! We love you so much and are so excited you just LOVE EVERYONE...especially me and that makes me very happy indeed. Below Taylee is on our "Pee Rock". Since we don't want kids peeing in the pool so we designated a rock near the pool and the plants where they are allowed to pee. Taylee still thinks she needs to take off her bathing suit to pee. I love the stiff legs and arm positioning for concentration and focus. Taylee is a silly little one who knows what she wants and is determined to get it! We love you little ones!!
