More picts from our trip to Utah..

We were able to do so many fun things when we were in Utah visiting family and friends, here are just a few more pictures. Some of our "besties" invited us to the lake on our last evening there, we had a blast..it was a perfect way to spend our last night! It was also Kooper's first time on a boat and he was in Heaven!

The boys taking a dip in the lake...


Kooper and Kamree getting fresh in the back of the boat:)


My cute hubby getting his wake-boarding on!



He loves his "soon to be Mother-in-law"

We also stayed at our condo in St.George. My inlaws came down with us and we had a nice dinner and then my little brother, his wife, and kids came and hung out in the hot tub on our balcony..so fun!
Karver showing of his huge muscles!

Getting ready to jump.....We also went to the new aquatic center several times, Kooper loves that place and so do Mommy and Daddy because it makes for a SWEET nap!

4th of July!

I think the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays, I love the parades, barbecues with family & friends, and of course fireworks! I feel so blessed to live in a country that I am able to enjoy the freedoms that I do that often get overlooked in my everyday life. I'm so grateful for the men and women that continue to fight for our country and make the sacrifices that they do.
We were lucky enough to be in Utah this year for the 4th and it was the perfect day! It started off with the parade. We always sit in front of my Grandpa's store (Ron's Sporting Goods), which is nice because when its 100 degrees outside you can always take a break and go grab a doughnut and some juice inside, that my Mom always brings for breakfast.My cute little friend Marie lovin on Karver for the few minutes that he was outside...it was SO hot! He loved her, he was smiling the whole time!
I told Kooper he had to take a picture with Karver before he could go in the bounce house that my Mom rented...as you can tell he was not having it!

All the kids has so much fun(including Weston..still a kid at heart) on the bounce house. My cute little Mom thought it would be fun to rent a bounce house for our 4th of July barbecue.My cute Mom and Grandma:)Grandpa and Grandma....My Grandpa Ron is who I named Karver "Ron" after...Love that Man!They also had fun jumping on the trampoline, and the slip&slide.

Time for fireworks!!!!The little poppers were a hit!Koopers cousin Taylee, they are only 6 months apart and play so good together.What's the 4th of July without watermelon??
LOVES his "Aunt JO"
We saw some big fireworks:)
Happy Forth of July!

Karvers Blessing Day

We decided to bless Karver in Utah while we were home visiting. All of our family is there so it is just easier for every body. We blessed him on July 3rd, so since it was the day before the 4th of July we thought we would have a festive patriotic luncheon after the blessing.
The blessing went so good, I'm so thankful for my husband that holds and honors the Priesthood and can give our kids blessings. Karver you are so blessed to have so many people that love and support you, it was such a special day, and we are so blessed to have you in our life. I'm so mad we didn't get a family picture, everything was just so hectic after the blessing and Kooper had so many cousins over he was no where to be found the rest of the day....Getting ready for church during nap time is hard.....so tired!SOOOO much food!!!! Thank you to all the people that helped make this day so special, and to my Mother-in-Law for letting us have the luncheon at her house:)What a great day, we love you Karver!

What does Kooper do while Im feeding Karver???

MMMM.....What should I do while Mommy is feeding baby brother???

1. I think I will cut up all of my big bouncy balls with Mommy's $400.00 hair cutting scissors.(several others not posted)
2. This baby powder sure looks fun, I'll put it all over the couch, the TV, and then of course my dragon has a little diaper rash so I will be sure to get him nice and powdery!3. (No Pictures but Im sure you can imagine....)Im pretty hungry, and Mommy is busy so I will do it myself. I got a frozen Smuckers PB&J out of the freezer to have for lunch...but its frozen what do I do?? Of course....Ill put the whole thing in the microwave (plastic and all) and cook it for 3 minutes until the plastic starts to melt and starts smoking and the peanut butter melts all over the microwave.

4. My poor little fish Fred looks hungry, I better feed him. Of course I will feed him the WHOLE bottle of fish food just in case he is REALLY hungry....Poor Fred died the next day:(

Totally off the subject but I don't want to forget this....WARNING RATED PG.....
While we were in Utah visiting family we were staying with my in laws and Kooper came out of his bedroom holding "himself".... Grandpa said,"Kooper do you need to use the bathroom?" Kooper replies,"no." Grandpa said, "then why do you keep holding yourself?" Kooper replies," because Grandpa, my pee pee is so big I have to hold it up sometimes."ha ha

Oooohhhhh......My sweet little Kooper, I love you!
