Hogle Zoo with Gammy Bev

Will and I have been so excited to go to the zoo with Gammy Bev! Today we finally made it and had a lot of fun!

Watching the monkeys play:

How cute is baby Zuri?!

Gammy spoiled him with a carousel ride:

Crazy pic huh?!

Will thought the giraffes were pretty cool:

And he even got to see a crazy bug up close!

And we finished up with a train ride:

Gammy & Will

Thank You Gammy! WE LOVE YOU!

Papa Brent's Vroom Vroom

This morning Will was definitely still tired from the past few days! He woke up and after a diaper change and decided to lay down and play trains. Could this be any cuter?!




Mike made it home from Denver and we spent the morning relaxing and not doing much at all. Then we had a family nap :) and got then got ready for family pics for Mike's extended family. It was pretty interesting trying to get everyone to cooperate!

Papa Brent road his motorcycle and Will was in heaven! He loves Papa's vroom vroom and constantly yells 'papa vroom vroom?' at every motorcycle we see. So Will was glued to Papa the whole time this evening :).

What a little handsome man!

{the cabin with aunt whitni}

Mike had to go to Denver this week for work and so Will and I decided to invite ourselves down to the cabin with Stacy and Whitni instead of staying home alone. We have missed Aunt Whitni dearly and were excited to spend a few days with her. Will and I survived the drive alone and I was glad I remember how to get there! We spent the past few days shopping in St George, exploring around the cabin, swimming in the kiddie pool, and playing banagrams. It was so much fun and a great getaway!

i heart you hermana

Playing in the sand:

Squirt guns!

'schwimming' aka swimming :)

(not sure what is in his mouth!)

We sure had fun! Thanks for letting us join Gammy and Aunt Whitni!

Buzz & Woody

Will is obsessed with Toy Story and Toy Story 2. He seriously LOVES them! He doesn't sit still for anything especially movies but if its Buzz and Woody Will doesn't budge. Its pretty darn cute :). Since Toy Story 3 just came out we decided to take Will and attempt seeing a movie in the theater again. We were nervous since he only lasted about 20 minutes in How to Tame Your Dragon but decided to give it a try anyway and were so impressed! He was such a good boy! The movie was over 2 hours and Will was pretty content the whole time and I think I was having a harder time staying in my seat!

He is such a stink sometimes with not wanting his pic taken:

Ha ha I love it!

A glimpse at Will's 'angry face' :)
I can't get over how big my little Will is getting lately!
Its so crazy, where did my baby go guys?!

{happy 4th of july}

We had such a fun 4th of July weekend! It was so nice to have both my parents and Aimee and her kids here. On Friday before Annalee's baptism Aimee and I took the kids to Gardner Village and had a relaxing afternoon just hanging out.

Tyler & Will

Jessica & Will

Me & Natalie

My wonderful sister Aimee helped me assemble Will's new trampoline......and then Mike had to help us take it apart and re-assemble it when he got home :) But we got it all put together correctly and Will was so happy!

So much fun already!!!

On Saturday morning we kept things pretty low key and decided to spend time together instead of fight the crowds at the parade. We got snow cones from my favorite place Bob's Brain Freeze and the kids and were in heaven. It ended up the perfect start to our 4th of July Saturday celebrations!

We had a BBQ:

And Grandpa teased the kids:

We got out the kiddie pool and squirt guns:

And Jess found the water balloons:

My parents enjoyed one peaceful moment...................

But I just could resist being the trouble maker that I am!!!!!!

(not the most flattering pic but come on its classic!)

My Mom is such a good sport!

My sister grabbed some awesome pics of the whole thing!

LET THE WATER FIGHT BEGIN!!!

Will started out scared :(

And so did Ty :(

But calmed back down pretty quick :)

Best pic of the day:

Seriously I haven't had a water fight like that since I was like 12, it was awesome and totally unplanned! We had so much fun and everyone was laughing and soaking wet by the time we were done. I love my family!

Will's first experience with Pop-its:

He discovered it was a lot more fun to stomp them :)

We played an awesome karate game while we waited for it to get a little darker:

And Will looked on thinking everyone was crazy:

Will was pretty unsure of the Sparklers:

And we set off some fireworks early so Will could experience them before bedtime:

isn't Mike such a cutie :)

Ohhhhh, Ahhhhhh:
Will loved them!
And tried to blow them out from his seat :)

This morning everyone enjoyed cartoons:

And Will cried and cried when everyone left :(

Come back soon everyone!!
