Happy 30th Anniversary!!

At the beginning of July, we drove up to Utah to suprise my parents for their 30th Anniversary. Bri's family drove up from Arizona too. My parents had no idea that any of us were coming and they walked in the house to see all of their grandchildren sitting in the middle of the floor playing! It was amazing, we spent the whole weekend together, laughing and having fun!

Suprise!

Jordyn Bug and Ava J

These girls are two peas in a pod! Everytime they are by each other we feel the need to take a picture. Which is why I have a post just for the two of them!

Twinners!!"Stay close by, OK Jordyn?"

"Um, excuse me, but did you know you have a HUGE flower on your head?"

Hot air-balloon launch

Nothing like chewing on a stuffed animal

Beth, how many pictures do you think we will have of the two of them by the time they are 16?!?!

Bachelorette Party

What can I say I LOVE watching "The Bachelorette"! I think I have watched almost every season beginning to end. What makes me SO happy is that my little sister Sky loves it just as much as I do. Every week when it comes on me and Sky text each other and say that we wish we could have a party. Well, we FINALLY had our party. There were treats, games, trivia, and sweet prizes from Family Dollar involved. It was a blast!

I am so PROUD that my husband won the Bachelorette Trivia game! He got 13 of the 16 questions right. That's my kind of man;) Now he is the proud owner of these beauties...CROCS with RHINESTONES! Hubba Hubba!

My mom and dad won this beautiful frame for guessing that Wes would go home that evening. I expect it to be hanging above your bed next time I come!

Beth won Dominos for second place in the trivia and Jaxon was a great source of moral support!

Sky won a HUGE air freshner and pop rocks for third place in the trivia. I am not going to lie Sky I was kind of dissapointed:(

I guess all that is left to say is "GO KIPTYN!"

And I vote that Jesse is the next Bachelor!!!

Grandpa's Boat

We went boating up at Deer Creek with Grandma and Grandpa. It was interesting with two infants strapped in those STUPID life jackets and the CHOPPY water, bur we still had a lot of fun!

Jordyn in her straight jacket! Who ever makes these needs to go back to the drawing board!

Sky, Grandma, Jordyn and Mommy were the only ones brave enough to go for a tube ride.

Jordyn was tuckered out. She fell asleep while daddy was tickling her face.

Thanks for taking us on the boat Grandpa!

Dad's Park

A year or two ago my dad found this park up Provo Canyon, and ever since then we have called it dad's Park. We roasted hot dogs and mallows up there one night. The boys threw the football around while the girls talked. Although Beth did throw the ball once and actually hurt her toe pretty bad ( I guess the Olsen girls aren't too athletic:). I love spending time up Provo Canyon, the mountains are gorgeous!

Jordyn and Uncle Jax! He is seriously the best uncle a girl could ask for!

(is it just me or once you have a baby you never take any pics as a couple anymore?)

Happy 4th of July

We started our 4th bright and early at the hot air-balloon launch in Provo. I remember going to this same balloon launch every 4th when I was a little girl, so it was fun to take Jordyn there. We may have had to wake up at the crack of dawn but it was definitely worth Kneader's breakfast!

After the balloon launch we went home and swam at Grandma's and Grandpa's house. I love swimming there! To me nothing is better than a summer day in my parents backyard. Well all of our swimming made us hungry again so we head to Five Guys Burgers and Fries. We have never been there but I thought it was very good. I would dare say that their Burgers are better than In 'n' Out!

We had to have a photo shoot of the babies in their first 4th of July outfits!

Grandpa was all tuckered out!! Yes that is his camera strap around his head while he is sleeping on the floor!

Later that evening we met up with the Judd family for dinner and stories. Cory's parents had just flown in from a three week vacation to Europe!

We had a great time spending time with both of our families! To me that is what holidays are all about!
