Bear Lake

Okay, here it goes. We went up to Bear Lake, starting from the 25th of July until the 28th of July. We stayed at Ideal Beach with Gramby, grandpa, Kenzie, Brad, Brinlee and of course us. This was Tayson's favorite pool to swim in. It was only 1 foot deep and he could have stayed in there for hours. He was even brave and stuck his head under water.
Here Tayson is again in the pool with is favorite pool toy. The purple doughnut as he called it.
Brice and Tayson attempting to make a sand castle or rather Tayson telling Brice where to put the sand castle.
Here is Grandpa and Brinlee in the shade. This was before Randy got bite by a dog. Yes, he got bite on a bike ride at Bear Lake. We have to have something happen on our vacations or it wouldn't be much fun.
Tayson playing in the sand. He loved the water. He was not afraid to go in at all.

24th of July

The pictures are backwards, so sorry. This is Brice cooking dutch oven up at the campground Kasey and Amanda were staying at. We all went up on Friday night and had a great dinner. He cooked, BBQ chicken, potatoes and pineapple upside down cake, all in the dutch ovens. Brice is becoming quite the pro at dutch ovens.
Here is Tayson at the campground. Poor kid he got the wrong parents when it comes to camping. Me and Brice loved going up, but we were glad to come home to our own beds.
Here is the annual parade on 24th street. Tayson was just chillin'. Not as exciting as other parades, they don't throw much candy here.

Shelves

So Brice has been busy with all sorts of projects this year. He put shelves in Tayson's closet and this is the finished product. Tayson was so excited to put toys on them. Thank you honey, the shelves are awesome, mommy and Tayson love them.

Family Reunion

So the day after Emilee's wedding we had a family reunion at the Farmington Pool. I did have my camera, but only took two pictures and they were of Tayson swimming.

Emilee's Wedding

Okay, to start off with I left my camera at home when we went to the Temple, so no pictures from the Temple. I will have to get my mom's camera and put some on. So, I did take it to the luncheon and as you can tell, I am no photographer. The picture is of Emilee and Chase and my mom and dad. His parents are next to him, but you can't tell. We went to the Prairie Schooner and it was way yummy.
This picture is of Brice at the luncheon standing in front of some deer antlers, but you can't tell, sorry. And then the reception, batteries died and we used my mom's camera instead. So I will post more pictures of the wedding later. But all in all it was an awesome day for Emilee and Chase. They went to Florida on their honeymoon!!!!

Swimming and Sombreros

Brice bought these sombreros at a yard sell and Tayson loves them!!
Tayson has been earning marbles for being good and so when he earned the fifteen we told him he had to have, the reward was the water park. When we first got there he told Brice he didn't want to get wet and we told him then lets go home. After about an hour, he warmed up and loved to go down the frog slide and the bigger kid slide.

Has to be just like Daddy

Tayson loves to dress like Brice, and I just had to take a picture.

Fourth of July

Well, my plan was to have all of these fun pictures, but when we got to the parade at Riverdale, my batteries were dead. So, I have no pictures of this 4th of July. Brice ran the 5k in Riverdale and finished. Then we went to the parade, which Tayson got way to much candy from. We were going to go swimming with Brad and Kenzie, but it was a little to cool, so we went to lunch at Applebee's. We then had dutch oven at my parents house that night. Brice cooked bbq chicken and pinapple upside down cake. It was sure tasty. We then concluded the night by watching Riverdale's fireworks. I am so thankful that I live in this country and enjoy all of the freedoms. I am so thankful for all of those men and women who protect those freedoms each and everyday.

Two Birthdays

Okay, Tayson put on this coconut bra all by himself. This was taken at Brad and Kenzie's house. We have two birthdays to celebrate on July 1st, my dad and Brinlee's. I was horrible at taking pictures that day so you don't even get the people whose birthday it is in any picture.
Here is my brother Chad enjoying pizza for my dad's birthday. I did take a picture of my dad, but I don't think he would like it if I put it on the blog, it was a picture taken when he was not aware. Happy birthday to both of you, Dad and Brinlee.
