4th of July

 Time for catching up again!!!!! Some of our good friends from Colorado came to visit over the 4th of July. Scott and I got up early to run his second ever 10K (which he totally rocked....ave. 7:06), then home to get ready for the parade, then lunch and some fireworks. It was a fun-filled day of typical 4th of July festivities.

Foster and Molly waiting for candy to be thrown!

Scott and Nate. I think he found whatever he was eating, on the ground......oh the third child!

Just a little family picture at the parade

Friends, Denise and Eric Christensen with their 4 boys

The kids were loving the smoke bombs!

Nate got to enjoy a bit of the fireworks until it was time for bed.

Molly decided she didn't like the smoke!

Train Museum

Scott's sister, Lisa, and her family moved back from Germany. Funny how all of the sudden, Colorado Springs seems so close! That is where they will be living starting August. We are so excited to have them so close. They came and stayed a few days with us while they are in limbo for the summer! So fun to have them. 

We thought the kids would LOVE climbing the trains so we went to the museum up in Ogden. Only to find the "no climbing on trains" signs. Well, that didn't really stop us. Especially since there used to be free reign of climbing just a few short months prior. It'll take more than measly signs to prevent us from having fun!

It's so fun having these boys get connected. 

This is a snowplow used up in Wyoming years ago.

Kids got the camera

The kids got the camera and this is what we have! Some of the pictures crack me up. Most of them are blurry but they capture their silliness! 

This one I took. I had asked Molly to go read and this is where I found her. 

Hair cuts

It was time. We could not let our boys look the way they did any longer. We even got asked if we had 2 girls and a boy! That was the last straw. So cut the boys' hair we did. It took me a while, but I like Nate's better now. Fos, there was no question how I like his! He just doesn't have the hair type to grow it out! So here the two are! Looking ready for summer!

After

This is Nate, not Molly!

And after!

Father's Day

Father's Day was pretty easy this year. The kids picked out all of Scott's gift and it was so sweet the things they thought of. Our kids are pretty lucky and blessed to have the dad they have. Scott is an amazing father and I too am lucky to have him in my life! We love you babe!!!

Molly came up with a scavenger hunt all by herself to send Scott looking for his presents.

Ta Da.........Oreo's, "cause Dad LOVES OREO's", Kit Kat "because this is Dad's favorite candy bar" and a ball "so Dad can play with his own on the tramp". And a little gift card to Home Depot.

Lagoon

Our stake did a get into the park free night a few weeks ago so we decided to take the kids and just pay for passes for them. It was fun just watching them go on all the rides they did. We met up with some friends and their son has no fear so I'm sure that helped Molly and Fos ride rides they might never had otherwise. It was a gorgeous night and a lot of fun!
