Nothing is more fun than watching your kids excited about all the good things in life!
Off to the lake for Family Night. Cam and Jaeden drawing in the sand.

Floaties much?
The little swimmers
We had girls night at Mom's house. Mandy came and did our toes for us, she is AWESOME!!! We ate legal cookies, scrumptious legal chicken alfredo and watched Momma Mia the night before the wedding. I am so grateful to have such awesome sisters and an amazing mom!!
These waxie toes belong to Angie and I. Love the parafin!!
My handsome nephews came from Vegas to Wrestling camp. We got to stop by and say hi. This is my cute mother in law and my sister in law Jana (also very cute!).

Avery and Jaeden
Amber and me
Kaiden the action hero
WaHoo!! I love to play!
Later that night we had a little birthday dinner for Angie. Casen decided he was done sitting in his camping chair and he should crawl around with it on his back. This is exhausting and he obviously needed a break.
Angie and her cute little dominic
Kaiden found this butterfly and was so excited about it. He posed for lots of cute pictures for us.
MaKellie and little guy
Lets kiss.... um what? Sister Demke would be so proud!

This is how you make smores over a heater, then Jacob busts out his lighter to speed the process along. We can adapt, right?
Tyler and Mandolyn headed up a great hike last week. It was so beautiful!! This is Tyler leading the kiddos up the trail.
This is what happens when your husband is out of town and your 2 year old decides he doesn't want to walk anymore. Gotta love the extra cardio.
Best idea ever!! Mom and Mandolyn put together these hiking ice creams. You make the ice cream mixture, put it in a zip lock then put that bag into a bigger zip lock with rock salt and ice and close it, then wrap it in newspaper and stick it in a back pack. When we got to this beautiful waterfall we ate dinner and then busted out the ice cream. Some of them had to be shaken a little more, but Camden's was totally frozen solid and so delicious!!
Boys can't resist them some water!
Beautiful flowers all along the trail
Case, me and Mom
WaHoo, some summer swimmin!!
Camden playing and having the time of his life with "Auntie Lisa"
I'm pretty sure they went to missing teeth smiling school together.
Max and his man crackers. Oh my!! Gotta have some snacks!!
Me and Lisa
Me and Muscles!! So maybe after forgeting to take the self timer off and having two random guys hold the camera for an eternity until it finally snapped this picture, I stopped actually flexing, but next to Martha I am nothing but soft!! We finally made the decision to run the 24th of July 10K the day before it actually took place. Maybe I should have gone running more than twice in the month before the race. Training??? We had a really good time running and it was so fun to run along the parade route. Thank you Martha!
No body there to take pictures of us running, so me improvised, thank you self timer!! :) I am so grateful for fun friends!
Children's heaven!! We went to the annual foam day with the Stangers. It was so cool and all my kiddos LOVED it!
Bubble bath, or bubble park??
The kids kept saying, "I'm a snow monster!" Yes they were!
Oh pure joy!
Seriously what could be more fun?? (that is keagan in the denim shorts in the center) There was one part that was so deep in foam that it came up to Camden's sholders sitting up tall. Thank you Lehi city for being such a cool place! I'm pretty sure it is what the pioneers would have wanted :)
I swear it seems like yesterday that my little casen was actually little, now he is all big and all boy! (This was today as he was crawling around being messy and just before he broke a big glass bowl, yeah!)
Since we are in transition, I couldn't really plan a party for the little guy, so I threw something together this afternoon. I saw this idea of decorating a table on parents magazine once and decided to improvise. Super fun and I made up what I was going to cut as I went. I think we will have to do this again, the kiddos loved it and made some cool aliens with the shapes after dinner.
I forgot to put the carrots on the orange flower petals, but oh well, one meal without veggies never hurt them before :)
The fam, Makell came over to celebrate with us too. Oh how we LOVE living close to Auntie Kellie!!!
After dinner it was off to the pool to cool off for a while. We are so happy to have a pool around the corner from us, oh so necessary here!!
So big!!
Even bigger
My cute little plastic faced child, pretending to be Casen all night.
Me and my baby
So close to walking, but not quite there. I am actually loving every minute of him being little!!
All bundled up now that the temp dropped to around 103, brrr!!
Keagan and Kaiden are so sweet to their baby
Back to the party, Kelly is sporting a super duper cool batman ring, so tough!
Even though we did a family party, the kiddos had to have some kind of party favors, right? I have lots of baby food jars so I spray painted the lids and filled them up with sugar, yum!!
Nothing better than watching a little baby tear into a birthday cake. It is my favorite!!
He was all over this one!! So cute!
Casen is pretty much in eternal love with his new ball, $1 at walmart, why do I ever spend money on birthday gifts for babies? 
Oh how we love this little guy! He is such a sweet wonderful and well behaved baby, I feel so lucky to be his mom :) Love you Casers!!
