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!

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!


















Las Vegas

Last month we took a little trip to Las Vegas to visit Scott's uncle and his family. His uncle was gracious enough to fix a little gap in my tooth and the amazing artist he is, it looks like a real tooth and one would never know there were gaps! Anyway. We decided to make a little trip out of it and take the kids downtown sin city. We had to divert their attention several times, but it was fun going to the M&M store (that was for me), see the water show at the Bellagio, and get gelato. The kids' favorite part was swimming in his aunt and uncles pool. It was a quick. but fun trip!








Fos kept saying he wanted to grow out his hair......really I think he meant he didn't want to sit and get hair all over his body and face while I cut it!














I spy with my little eye a photo bomber!!!


We've never been to Vegas when it's been pool season so it was fun taking advantage of the warm weather. The kids loved jumping off the diving board.............


.....swimming..........




.......and going off the slide!
