Summer Rain..
The other day when I got home from work it started to rain. Lucas loves being outside and he wanted to be out there just like every other day. So I thought we could stand out on the porch and watch the rain. We were having a blast out there, then the wind shifted and it started blowing rain onto the porch. I came inside and tried to bring Lucas in as well, but he just wanted to stand out there. So I sat by the door and watched him get soaking wet. He loved it.

Demolition Derby
Last Saturday we went to the Demolition Derby in Nephi. Paige and Lucas have never been to one and they thought it was so much fun. MaKady was up visiting my parents for the week so she didn't come with us. It was a fun way to end the summer. We have had a lot of fun family time. But I am really excited for school to start and fall to begin.

Weekend in Vegas...
Our 9 year anniversary was the end of July, so to celebrate we decided we wanted to spend a weekend in Vegas. We drove to St. George Thursday night and spent the night at Tabi & Kole's house. We got up early Friday morning and kissed our kids goodbye and drove to Vegas.
We spent most of the day Friday school shopping for the girls at the outlet stores. Then we had IHOP for lunch and headed to our hotel (Sunset Station) to check in. After a little nap we headed out to the pool. It was fun to just lounge around and relax. Friday night we had dinner at the hotel and went to bed early. (boring I know but that is what this vacation was for, just a nice relaxing weekend.)
Saturday I couldn't sleep in, as hard as I tried, but we hung out and watched tv until 10 and then we headed out and had breakfast and did a little more shopping. Then we had a little lunch and back to the hotel to swim some more.
Saturday night we actually drove down the strip, but we didn't feel like stopping anywhere. We drove out to Summerlin to visit some friends and then we went out to Yogurt Land for some ice cream. On the way back to the hotel we took a little detour and drove through our old neighborhood in Henderson.
Sunday we slept in a little bit, then we had breakfast and headed back to St. George to get our kids. Then we got home Sunday night.
Jared and I both had Monday off, which was really nice so we got a lot of the household chores done (laundry, mowing the lawn, etc.) and we played games and watched movies with the kids. It was a fun weekend and a much needed break.

Pioneer Day
For Pioneer Day this year my parents and my sister Mary came to visit. Trinity and Paige were up at my parents house for the week so they brought them back with them on Friday. Mary came up on Friday night.
On Saturday Jared and my dad got up early and went to the church farm to help out. Then when they got home we had a yummy breakfast and headed out to Levan.
At 10:00 Levan held their annual Primary Parade. We love that parade because it's full of kids and they throw a ton of candy. The girls decided that they wanted to watch the parade this year because last year they were in it and they didn't get any candy. This year, they got a ton of candy. We sit in front of Grandma Myrts house.

After the parade we headed on down to the Levan Town park for lunch. We had our choice hamburgers, hotdogs, or chicken sandwhiches. They had big blow up toys for the kids to play on and games. We usually sit down at the park all day but the kids were getting tired so we ran home for a few hours to catch a nap, then we headed back to Levan for dinner.

After dinner there was a band that played some old music to entertain us for the evening. They were also selling suckers and Mary bought one for each of the kids. Lucas loves suckers.
Lucas was so cute, he kept sharing his sucker with Jake.
Dixie & Orin
Irene, Golden, & Jared

Last but not least were the fireworks. They were awesome, and a perfect way to end our day. I'm so glad that my parents and my sister were able to come with us.
Best friends - This is the only picture I got of these two, they were so busy playing and having fun, but I finally got them to sit still for a minute.
