Bear Lake

So last Thursday, we decided to head up to Bear Lake for the day. This has started to be a tradition and we thought we wouldn't be able to go because they say there are no beaches left. But we got online and discovered two beaches, one on the south end and one on the north end. We went to the south end and it was great. There was not a lot of people and plenty of room to relax. This is Ember and Tayson waiting for our lunch. We ordered hamburgers before we went to the beach and ate them on the beach!!
I had to put this picture up. Brice is not trying to flex, the water is just cold. Although he is really buff!!
Here is one of my little fish out swimming. He loved Bear Lake and could have stayed there all day.
Ember and Tayson loved to play in the sand. Tayson was trying to find as many sea shells as he could. Ember just followed him around and would do whatever he was doing. I was taking all the photos and relaxing in my camp chair. We had a great time and Brice got to have his raspberry shake before we left!!

4th of July

Here is my creativity coming out!!! I made pancakes and then cut them out with cookie cutters for the stars. I would have put strawberries and blueberries on the plate, but Tay does not like fruit.
We went to the Riverdale parade and had a lot of fun. Ember really liked all the people dressed like animals. Tayson was ready for the candy to come. I even got a free towel from AFCU, I was way excited.
Here is Tayson with his bag of candy. I threw most of it away because he does not eat candy. But he loves to get it!!
Here is cute Brinlee waiting for more candy. We sure had fun that day. We had a barbeque at my parent's house, but I am a slacker and didn't take any pics. Happy 4th of July!!

Swimming Lessons

Tayson got to take swimming lessons with his best friend Ethan, and they loved it. Tayson is not afraid of the water at all and so swimming lessons were needed.
Here is Tayson with Ethan right next to him.

Such a good daddy!!

I was going to put this pic with the birthday post, but decided it needed its own. Ember loves reading stories and so this is what daddy does most of the time with her. Tayson loves to sit there to and read some of the stories for Ember. Brice is an awesome dad and I am blessed to be sealed to him and our children for eternity. Thanks honey for being so awesome, we love you!!

Brice's Birthday

Now I know that Brice's birthday is before Tayson's, but I had Tay's pics on the computer all ready, so just go with it!! We celebrated the Sunday before and here are the two birthday boy holding their cake. Thanks Kenzie for an awesome cake.
The one side is a computer for Brad and then a gym for Brice. Kenzie did an awesome job. Happy birthday honey!!!

Tayson's 6th Birthday

I can't believe it, Tayson turned six on June 19th. He had to share his birthday with Father's day, but that is to be expected since he was born on Father's day. I am a bad mom and forgot candles the day before. We had everyone come over on Saturday to have cake and ice cream and pizza. The above picture is of Tayson on his actual birthday blowing out candles. And yes there is a picture of the cake, it is just at the bottom.
Here he is on his birthday with his new wiggle car we got him. He has been saving his money for one, but we thought we would surprise him with one for his birthday. He loves it and rides it everyday.
This is the Saturday before when everyone came over. Grandpa Randy is holding Kelsie and Tay is opening his gifts. Gramby is helping him!!
I just loved this picture of Brinlee in the car and Tayson on the top.
And here is the fantastic cake made by Aunt Kenzie. He wanted a soccer field and he loved it. It tasted awesome, thanks aunt Kenzie!! Happy birthday little boy, we love you!!

Hoogle Zoo

All of the kindergarten classes went down to the Hoogle Zoo the Friday before school got out. I had to put one picture of an animal in and so here is the giraffe. Lucky for us it did not rain that hard, it only drizzled while we were there and the sun even came out for a bit. It was so crazy that day at the zoo, but the kids sure had fun.
Here is Tayson posing by the monkey, I think!!
Here they are with there zoo maps. They each had to have one.
This is the four of them that we followed around: Brenda, Ethan, Tayson and another little boy that I can't remember his name!! It was a little hard to see everything, but we made it through. Thanks to Mindy for letting me drive down with her.
Here is Ember and Paige ready for a trip through the zoo. Ember did not last long, she walked or I carried her.
