Tumbleweed Park

Since my birthday was on a Sunday this year we went to the park on Saturday and had a lot of fun. We ate pancakes and then played for awhile. It was absolutely beautiful weather.

I had taken Kenzie and Cory there once before, but this was the first time for Brent, Kayley, and Cameron.

Cory being our entertainer as usual.

Waiting oh so patiently to go play on the toys. Good thing she had juice, so she could last ten minutes instead of five.

Kayley being the wonderful helper she is and playing with Kenzie.

Cory decided he wanted to sit in the baby toys.

I love this shot! I haven't seen a tire swing forever. The kids loved it.

Kenzie loves seeing cows. "MMMM." (Translation: that is her moo.)

My sweet monkey boys. Always climbing on something.

This lizard was a little bit too big for Kenzie. She normally loves them, but I couldn't hardly get her to sit still for the picture.

She had to follow the boys up.

Isn't she just beautiful?

Cute toes!

I painted Kayley and Kenzie's fingernails for fun, and Kenzie loved it. She sat still the whole time. This was her first time having it done.

Kayley had fun painting mine for me. I tried to get Kenzie to sit down, but that didn't happen. Oh well it is cute seeing her chubby little legs.

School Days

Kayley and Cameron started school on July 27th at Weinberg Elem.

They are both excited.

They both like riding the bus.

I like it because their stop is the second to last one in the morning (the last stop is in another part of the neighborhood) and the first stop in the afternoon.

Ligori's

We went to Ligori's Pizza in Layton with Grandma and Grandpa Palmer on July 2nd after all the fun of playing outside in the water. They have really good pizza and garlic bread.

Kenzie, Kayley, Shannon, Cory, Justin, Cameron, and Devin

Abbie, Nathan, Grandpa, Grandma, Cami and Brent

Cameron decided he need a "bib."

Grandpa then followed Cameron's example...

and Cory had to follow Grandpa's example. Such cute boys.

We took these outside of the restaurant just before we left. Kenzie wasn't too sure about sitting there by herself.

But she sure looked cute.

Fun at the Bear Lake house

Cory, Brent, and Cameron

Brent had fun taking the kids for rides on the 4-wheeler.
Brent, Kayley and Hailee

Kenzie is such a good helper.

She thought it was a lot of fun, and didn't like it when I took her off.

Cameron loved being Doug's helper, while he fixed the fence.

Bear Lake Pictures

I can't believe it has already been over a month since we were in Bear Lake. I'm just barely getting around to posting the pictures. We had a lot of fun with family and playing in the water.

Kenzie LOVED the water.

None of the other kids have taken off towards the water as fast as she did. The others at her age would hesitate because it was chilly but she didn't.
And they are off to play.

She had fun in the sand and water.

She ate a cookie and everyone thought she had eaten sand. (Which she had earlier, but I didn't get a picture of it. She didn't like the sand in her mouth, but loved the cookie and it shows.)

Beautiful Mermaid Kalli and McKay

Adorable Aubrey

Cory on Doug's jet ski. He thought it was so cool to sit on it and pretend to drive it. Kenzie sat on it and the first think she did was try to push the start button.

A lot of the family.

Jarom, Marissa, Sadie, Hailee, and Kayley

Steven, Rachel, and Cory

Trina and Maxwell
We got to celebrate Maxwell's 1st Birthday with him later that night.

Random scenic pictures

We had a lot of fun taking pictures as we were driving to and from Utah. Here are a few, we had more but I only wanted to do a few. (Not in any order.) Especially since I still have lots of fun cousins and family pictures to post.

Beautiful Bear Lake


It is so green and pretty. I'm not used to seeing that much green, and I am grateful for all of the rain they have had in Utah so I could enjoy the beautiful colors.

This is the new Hoover Dam Bridge. It is so huge and massive. I'm just glad that I'm not the one building it. I can't even imagine having to try to build this.

These two are of a dust storm that we saw as we were leaving Arizona. I loved the one above because I got Kenzie's reflection through the window.
