Celebrating 6 Wonderful Years!

We celebrated our 6th year Anniversary Aug 24th. What a wonderful day we spent together and with our three kids (Etta, Gibson and Hatcher-yep he is one of my kids). That morning we headed to Tanner park. Hatcher just loves it and Etta has a fun time as well. Gibby is starting to stay awake the whole time so he will soon be out running after the other dogs.

Had to take this darling shot of Daddy and Daughter


Etta had to stop and smell the flowers


The water was really cold. Etta got right in and Gibby wanted to chill for a bit

They are all having a great time

Once we got back home we got ready to go to the last home game of the season for the Bees. It was extremely hot. The kids stayed in the shade by our feet. Etta stayed busy with the toys she brought. Gibson just drank his milk, he nursed the bottle pretty much the whole game.

Andy had them put our names on the big screen and Etta got to give Bumble the Bumble Bee one last hug.


Happy Anniversary to us!


One last Hug

We ended the special day down with some good friends in Orem eating fish tacos and fried Halibut. Thanks Keith for the fish and thanks Wendy for the delicious brownie chocolate dessert.

And a Special Thanks to my Husband Andy for the best 6 years of my life, my darling children and many more years ahead.

A day at Lagoon

Saturday was a very busy day for us. Andy woke up early and took Hatcher to the farmers market while I got the kids up, dressed, fed and ready to go to Lagoon. We left but made a detour to Old Navy. They were having a huge sale on their jeans. Tell me another place you can get jeans for $12 for adults $7 for kids brand new! Andy wore a pair today and man he looks hot. Who says you have to pay $50-$150 plus for good jeans not me.

Anyway after our little shopping spree we headed North. Once we got to Lagoon we loaded up and went straight to Lagoon a beach. We all jumped in the lazy river, which was freezing cold. Etta and I made it once around and then headed off to the kids slides. Daddy and Gibby went around another time or two. We spent most of the time on the kids slide area. After a bathroom break, snack and water break, Daddy going down the big slide and Etta getting hurt on her little slide we headed over to the food.

Andy had never been to Lagoon and I haven't been back since I was 15. We walked around the park looking at all the fun rides. Gibby fell fast asleep so we played around in the video game room for a bit. Etta won some fun sticker earrings, yellow DNA looking bracelet and a blue little dog.

He loved having the chariot all to himself

Etta has been talking non stop about how she is going to ride the merry go round at Lagoon. The minute she saw it she couldn't get on it fast enough. Daddy went with her and they had a great time on her little frog. We woke Gibby up for the Train ride. Which they both loved and looked at the fun animals they had there.

Happy to be going up and down and around and around.

Andy wanted to win Gibby a toy so he went to the "guess my weight" and a teenager was guessing peoples weight. Andy won she guessed the wrong weight. She wouldn't tell him what she guessed but Andy walked away with a green froggie for Gibson.

He wouldn't let the green froggie go for a long time

One last ride on the Carousel. I took both Etta and Gibby this time and we may just have to build on in our back yard. It would keep them busy for hours.

Happiest little girl in the world

What a fun ride!

Leaving Lagoon we detoured one more time before heading home. The Gallivan Center and the Rockin' Ribs Festival. We enjoyed some delicious BBQ from different local restaurants. We are fans of Sugar House BBQ but always looking for some good BBQ. I found my favorite ribs at Millie's but Andy is still fan #1 for Sugar House BBQ.

Once we got home Andy started working on some little delicious concoctions of his very own.

YUM!

YUM!

The Days go by and so does Baseball

We haven't been to busy. Just playing at home, and doing some remodeling. Here are a few random pictures for fun.


Gotta love that long hair and beautiful smile.

Etta just loves dancing around and laughing pretty much all day. But her favorite part of the day is when Daddy gets home and she can play with him.


They love to be silly!

Gibson's two favorite things are baseballs. He plays for hours throwing them and chasing them back and forth. I carry one in my purse because it will get him to stop crying or keep him entertained when ever we go out.

Playing with his baseball, he wouldn't let me get him dressed until he had it in his hands.


He also loves to push out his lower lip and then move his hands up and down going "blah, blah, blah, blah".

Baseball season ends on Sunday :( . It has been a fun yet long season. We didn't make it to as many games and we would have thought but I think each year will get better as the kids get older.

My little Gibby just playing on the ground staying busy. I love that he now keeps his baseball hat on.

Every Friday and Saturday at the ball park they let the kids run the bases and I have been wanting to have Etta do it. So Saturday was her first time running around the bases. She was so excited the whole game. Once we got out there she ran so cute. When we got to first base I told her to touch it and she bent down and touch the base with her hand. (We are going to have to work on that). But at home plate she jumped on it with both feet. I got a darling video of it, but please try to ignore my high pitch excited yet annoying talking.

Playing in the water

My sister called me last week and said her and my other sister were bringing their kids up to Liberty Park to play in the water streams. I met them over there and all of the kids had a great time. Etta followed the older cousins around while Gibby and his two cousins the same age splash, blocked and played in one of the streams. I had a great time just chatting with my sisters and cooling off in the water. Thanks for the invite Sally!

My sisters parked on the other side of the park so we loaded everyone in the back of the truck and drove them to their cars.
