4th of July

Who doesn't love the 4th of July and all that it stands for:

Family, Friends, Freedom, Fireworks, Fun

We had another successful family party over at my uncle Bob's house. Yummy bbq and fireworks. We look forward to this every year.

My cute cousin Nate, planned games in the backyard for all of the kids. My kids loved pairing up and playing water balloon volleyball. There was even prizes. Thanks Nate! You're such a sweetheart!

Show off those muscles, big guys!

Ragnar Baby!

Clint and "the team captain" Craig

Thanks Craig for organizing this!

These crazy people jumped into this sweet ride and did a lot of running, sweating, laughing, not much sleeping and having a blast. And they can't wait to do it again next year:)

Laurie and I went to the finish line to watch them cross. Such a different experience than being at the finish line at marathons. This was way laid back. No rushing to finish. No crippled people trying to finish those last few feet after killing themselves the last 26 miles. No passing out. No bleeding feet. There was lots of waving, clapping, high fives, laughing, and fun costumes!

Finish time 33:46:14

Clint surprised me and got us a place in Park City to stay over night.

Thanks babe! I love you!

There's only one Lagoon!

Every summer, Clint's work has a party for their employees. This year, it was held at Lagoon. My boys were more than EXCITED to go! We haven't been their since I was prego with Carter, so it has been awhile. You should have seen my boys eyes when we pulled into the parking lot. Can you talk about BULGING eyes?

Clint wasn't feeling good after running the Ogden Marathon that morning, so he stayed home and caught up on some much needed rest. Way to go Babe!! He wanted to quit after 20 miles, but he stuck with it and finished! Soooo proud of him:)

After running 26.2 miles, he's still SUPER HOT!

Thankfully, my parents came with us and we met up with Scoob and his cousin, Rachel and her Beau, Carlos. It was our first time meeting Rachel and Carlos. Super cute people! I loved listening to Rachel talk with her fun accent:)

Look how wet they all got!

There was no way I was getting on that ride:)

I wear my sunglasses at night.... lol

Yummy!

Thanks C4 for the awesome time!

Carter the Kindergarten Graduate!

He has the first year of elementary school under his belt. He did it! He survived! I'm sure the teachers are thankful that the year is now over, yet going to miss him like crazy. I'm sure he entertained them a lot, yet probably needed a little help in the listening department:) Regardless of how he was at school, he had a lot of fun and has grown up tons.

He learned:

to read

the pledge of allegiance

to sing the star spangled banner

memorized parts of Declaration of Indepence

to get along well with others

to have FUN at recess

to count to 100

to do homework

to count money

to write his first and last name

to follow directions

Wow! What a learning year for him!

They had a real ceremony complete with diplomas given out by the principal. Carter thought he was really BIG stuff.

Look how proud he is to have the diploma in his hand. He was beaming and grinning from ear to ear! It was so funny to watch him walk across the stage. If he could of ran and skipped across it, he would of:)

We really missed daddy. He was in San Francisco for a business trip. Luckily, grandma Sue got to come with us. Thanks mom!

Mrs. Brown

Teacher Aides

Ms. Emily, Ms. France and Ms. Wendy

My cute niece, Jessica, watched Blakley while I went to the program. (Thanks Jess, I was able to seat through the whole thing without getting up:)) While we were there, Jess and Blakley made Carter a candy necklace. That made the day complete!! He felt like he was big like the 9th grade graduates!

We survived Kindergarten! I am going to have such a hard time when school starts up again. He will be in school all day long with his brothers. I am going to miss him and so will Blakley. She follows him around all day long. We're going to be a little lost without him. Good Luck in 1st grade Buddy!
