Just a little Summer Fun!

This has been one fun Summer!
Here are just a few of the things we did in June...

My boys just love to be outside, so we tried to take advantage of the great weather as much as we could.

Monroe just LOVES fishing! He's always talking about the white fish they caught!

The only thing he loves more than fishing is hanging out with his cousins!:) "See 'em cousins!!!" is all he says every time you ask him what he wants to do. This is him with his cousin Landon.

When dad catches the fish the boys get so excited, unless he gets too close to them with the fish. One time he was showing Collin the fish up close and the fish wiggled right out of his hands and slapped Collin in the face!:( Collin didn't like that too much!:(

Monroe got to go to his friends Carter & Cooper's birthday party! He loves his friends.

We enjoyed riding the lift up at Sundance. We saw a lot of squirrels and a deer.

Had to start the summer off right with some value flip flops.

Monroe & Collin in their backyard adventures! It's a jungle back there!

Orem Days Parade!

Monroe LOVES parades! Now he'll even just sit down on any random sidewalk and look out at the street and say "I watch the parade!"

Seein' em cousins!:)

Watching the fireworks!

Hiking Stewart Falls

And we can't forget - Going golfing with dad!!!

...or all the fun bike rides!:) This is Monroe and his lil' buddy Mattox.:)

HAPPY 82!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDGE!!! WE SURE DO LOVE YOU!!!

Father & Son!

This was Monroe's very first father & son's camp out! Dad Monroe was so excited to take M camping for his first time! They had a blast! Monroe kept the over excited M out of the fire, they set up the tent, he had his new sleeping bag, and he lasted until about midnight...when Lil' M was asking to go home to his bed!:) (...so he does have some of his mother in him after all!:) hehehe) Monroe wasn't too excited to have to come home. But they got a great nights sleep and returned early the next morning!:)

Collin was sad that he was too young to go!:( But we had a great time at the mall together!:)

Monroe got a haircut!

Yes... I cut hair... I style hair... I consider myself a professional... But my son will not let me touch his hair!!! We've kept it on the longer side for a few reasons... the biggest one being that he would not allow me to touch it/cut it. But hey - I'm the boss of him:) - so we gave him a new 'Summer Do!'

Cutest Cowboy I've Ever Seen!

Arizona Here We Come!!!

We just had to escape the Utah freeeeeze we were experiencing this last May....so we decided to go to Arizona and enjoy the heat!

Here are just a few highlights from the trip!

Collin unpacking - he was so excited to be at grandma/pa's house!

The clubhouse BBQ with all the cousins!

Swimming at night and not freezing:)

Staying the night at Dawson's & Peyton's!:)

They had so much fun on the slip & slide!

Enjoying more fresh fruit.:)

This was a wonderful day... full of food, massage, mani & pedi's and cousins!:)

Monroe loved playing with Brandon! (Lacey's son)
