Go Fly a Kite

We spent the 4th of July weekend and Grandpa Tom and Grandma Dottie's house. We had so much fun I am going to divide it into three different posts. Day 1 Alex rode the 4 wheeler and got to fly Grandpa Tom's kite. It was so cute! Then the kite went under the power lines and almost flew away, but it all worked out in the end.

Aquatic Center Fun

Jenna had the day off from work today so we all went to the pool with her and Grandma. Alex calls it the swimming cool, and it totally was!

Sorry Max, next time I will remember your hat

Alex really liked going on the "tricky" slide

Memorial Day

We went to Star Valley for Memorial Day this year. I love Memorial Day! Ok, I am weird. I love going to the cemeteries and spending time with my family.

We went to see Pom Pom, and Alex always has to go get the sad bears.

Dad let us know on Memorial Day that we were going to be working cattle. I had to give a worming shot. It was hard at first, but I was dang good at the end :)

What can I say, this kid is so cute and sweet! Please don't ever turn two!

Mark's Birthday

Mark was home for his birthday this year. During the day he planted trees and bushes in our yard. He claims that he likes to do yard work so I guess that was a good thing to do on his birthday :) That evening we went out to eat at Mandarin Garden with my family and Dave and Kristy. While we were eating dinner Mark realized that this was the first birthday in 7 years that he has spent at home in Utah! The day before his birthday we had cake and steak at my mom and dad's house. Unfortunately in the candle blowing out picture it looks like we had a house fire, but he isn't that old, so I don't know why it looks smokey.

Alex's Birthday!

Last Saturday was Alex's birthday, and he turned three! Unfortunately, Saturday is also the day that Lindsey and Dustin moved to Star Valley. We will miss them a lot! I made some cupcakes, and we all met at Linds and Dustin's old place to help them load up their stuff. Then Alex blew out his candles and opened some presents. After that we all drove to Star Valley for the weekend. It was a long weekend, but we had lots of fun being with family. Alex seemed to enjoy his birthday too, he loves going to Star Valley. Since we got back he says in his prayers "please bless us to go back to Star Valley, and see Pom Pom, and the red barn".

Here is the slide that Alex got for his birthday.

Here he is enjoying his ice cream breakfast.

These are the cupcakes I made. I think they are dang cute!
