i've totally given in to peer pressure and finally updated my blog.... and i mean updated and backdated! this getting so behind stuff has so got to end! i am really going to get out of this vicious cycle... once and for all. we'll see if i can really stay on top of things... until then, enjoy these posts for the next 4 or 5 months! ha!

family fun and friends...
for family night last week, our friends invited us up the canyon to bbq, have a campfire and play. it was a blast! we ate delicious food the guys cooked up and played a killer game of kickball... boys vs. girls.
i won't say who won... it might embarrass them... but only that it was so much fun!
thanks for planning this, elisa!
it was a great reminder how much fun the simplest things can be!

elisa is my way fun friend who makes me feel so young when we hang out! maybe that is because she is so young (ha ha), or that we totally can laugh about everything when we are together. she is hilarious! oh and she has the cutest kids in the universe. seriously, her baby is edible! ethan and her hallie are pretty much in love, but that deserves a whole post of its own...
earlier that week...
we took the kids to 7 peaks for the day... the pictures say it all...
july holidays
we're having fun celebrating this month...
the 24th of july
we spent pioneer day in our town celebrating. the kids were in the parade... they were supposed to dress up as someone who has given a lifetime of service. for some reason, they interpreted that as... dress up like something you want to be when you grow up. well, we settled on cameron dressing as a scientist / inventor and barrett as a pilot... cameron didn't think it was very funny when i told them they looked like "cade & susie"..ha ha. ethan dressed up as a doctor. i don't really know why elmo was part of the parade, but i do know that it made ethan's day to meet him!
after the parade we spent the afternoon at the city park for the games, treats, entertainment and fun...
i love this day here in this small town. it is a lot of fun and really old-school which makes it all the better!
later that day, we went over to bbq at my parents and babysit cute mariah. savvy and mariah are becoming quite the little buddies. we went over to the owlz game to watch the fireworks... we had a great view! mariah and savanna were SO cute and so opposite during the fireworks. savanna was jumping up and down, laughing and squealing while mariah was quietly covering her eyes just waiting for them to end... wish i had had my camera with me.
the 4th of july
the boys participated in a great flag ceremony early morning on the 4th.
my dad is in charge of this every year and it is quite the ceremony!
we spent the rest of the day at my parent's relaxing, eating, playing with cousins, setting off fireworks and then going to watch the big fireworks... fun stuff. oh ya - and we went up to the mall the meet glenn beck... we ran into our friends there and it was totally fun... i really like glenn beck... i think he is hilarious... i feel old now that i know the talk radio guys so well...

MOAB
the kids and i headed down to moab with my mom and little sister to play for a few days.
clint stayed home to work, but ended up surprising us in moab on sunday afternoon!

we didn't have a backpack for savanna so we just took turns carrying her and ethan hiked the whole way with 2 liters of water on his back! he was such a trooper. i just love that hike and am always in awe when we reach the arch... it truly is an amazing thing!
we had such a fun, relaxing time in moab.... it had been way too long since we had been there! thanks so much to grandpa, uncle blake and uncle mike for the wonderful accomodations!
batter up!
baseball season came and went.... too fast!
all 3 boys participated in the city league this year... it was busy busy for us, but a lot of fun too.
opening day is always something the boys look forward to... being in the big parade!
barrett played on the white sox team with a great bunch of boys and two wonderful coaches.
he really had a great time this year and learned a whole lot too...
cameron was on the angels this year and i'm pretty sure he was their star batter!
that kid can hit!... i think he has had a lot of practice on his brothers...
and last, but certainly not least, ethan enjoyed his first year playing t-ball! once in a while he got too bored and would head on over to the playground, but most of the time he was really into the game! it helped a lot that clint was his coach this year. it was hilarious to watch that kid and he looked so dang cute in his little baseball pants... this age is too much fun to watch!
and i can't forget savanna... she is the best spectator ever! people were always making comments about how patiently and happily she would just sit in her stroller and watch. she makes going to the games so enjoyable for me ( and even better when she shares her vanilla dr. pepper)!
love that girl.
