July

We got to spend the 4th of July at the park again. I was in charge of the volleyball tournament at Murray park so we all went for the day. The the little boys enjoyed the parade while Oak and Wes played in the tournament. Then we went to a neighborhood party and the kids had fun on the waterslide they rented. Oak ended up falling asleep cause he was so worn out, but it was a fun day.

For my birthday, I decided I wanted aquarium passes, so we went as a family for the first time. It was fun to walk through and see all the cool fish, and the best part was seeing Tyson on the green screen with his green shirt.

On my actual birthday I got pedicures and went to lunch with my mom and sisters. Then we went bowling as a family at Fat Cats.

After my birthday comes Dax's, and he won't let anyone forget. He was so excited. We gave him clues and he had to go find all of his presents that were hidden around the house. All he wanted was 10 FNAF plushies and he got a bunch. He also got his first "Merch", a t-shirt from one of the you-tubers that he watches, Unspeakable. He was way excited about that. He had his party at a new play place in the South Town mall. The kids all had a blast there. Happy 7th Birthday Dax!

I didn't really get my birthday dinner on my birthday, so we went to Tucanos a few days later and took the boys for the first time. Oak and Tyson loved all the different meat and trying new things. Dax, well, he didn't really eat anything.

Oak was able to go to Matt Harpring's basketball camp this year and he had a great time. He had to have a picture with Matt so he could show all his friends.

And Tyson did this every time we went swimming. He love just jumping off the diving board and going straight in. He did this for hours. He is a funny kid.

Oak was able to play a little basketball with his bantam team and he gets to do the jump ball now. 

St. George Fun

Our week in St. George ended up being right after the Bear Lake trip. That's ok though, we just went from one end of the state to the other. We tried to do a few different things this time around. We took the boys to Chuck-a-rama for the first time and they loved it. Tyson ate like 3 plates full of Mac-n cheese.

We also took them to an indoor fun place with mini golf, arcades, and VR. They loved that as well.

The Westenskows joined us after a few days and we went and played at Fire Lake. We love that little pond and the kids have a blast.

Almost every afternoon there would be thunderstorms and we got some pretty sweet rainbows and clouds off the deck. The lightning shows were amazing as well.

Another new place we tried out was an indoor swimming pool place, which turned out to be really fun. It had a slide and an alligator to climb on and a climbing wall. The kids had a blast, especially cause it was lightning outside but we were fine inside.

It is much more fun down there when our cousins are there, but once they left we still found fun things to do. Grandpa took us on a cool hike to what's called the Vortex. It was a little cooler day so we weren't dying, and all the boys made it to the top. It was awesome. We even took a little detour to a cairn graveyard. We even made a few of our own.
