Box Elder County Fair

On Friday night we took the kids to the Fair out in tremonton. The kids each got 10 tickets to ride whatever they wanted. They did the big yellow slide, the cars, the one with the dragons and ladybugs that go up and down, and the train. Then Brandie and Josh were kind enough to take Jayden and let Jesse and me go ride some big rides. Thanks guys! We had lots of fun and the kids had a blast.

Jesse and Jayden going down the big yellow slide, I didn't time the picture right and cut off Jaydens head. I think he's smiling though.

Play Date

The other day Brandie and the kids were up to Brigham so we got together and wanted to take the kids bowling, but it was a Sunday and the bowling alley is closed on Sundays. So the kids settled for coming back to our house and playing. They all really like playing with the playdough. Here is a cute picture of the three of them.

Trip to Colorado

This last weekend I went to Colorado with Jesse and his friends for the Lands End Auto Hill climb, they took their rock crawlers up and raced up a mountain. They ran a few practice runs on Saturday and the actual race was on Sunday. They raced up this mountain from the bottom to almost the very top at 40-45 mph even getting up to 70 mph at times and tried to get up as fast as possible they were judged on their time. These men made it up in 5 and 6 minutes and when we drove to the top to watch them race up we only drove 20 mph and that was scary enough! Crazy, crazy boys!

This is just the starting line.
This is just a view from the top of the mountain where we sat to watch them race up.

This is my very dirty Mylee puppy. She is so sweet.

This is a pic of some of the road they had to race, it starts at the left further than what my picture shows and goes further to the right than my picture shows then down in front of us around the corner on the side of where we stood and then behind us, up the other side and then clear up to almost the top of the mountain.

This is just another view, the white spot in the middle is the camp ground and also the starting line.

This is James racing

This is Casey and Jesse racing.

This is Brandon racing.

At the top of this picture on the mountain in the back ground is where the finish line was.

This is Jesse, he was mad, he hates to have his picture taken.

This is the second race of the day Casey and Jesse at the starting line waiting for the flags to drop so they could go.

And there they go!

And their gone!

Maddi's birthday party

For one of my step sisters birthdays, she wanted a slip and slide and to play in the water. So my step dad Evan went and found on for them and bought a home made ice cream machine and bought barbecue stuff. They played croquet and had ice cream, steaks and corn on the cob, played in the water and had lots of fun. I had to go to work but luckily I got to see some of the fun.
Jayden had no fear he ran and slid on his belly with no coaxing.

Maddi




Sid

Then Shey got some shaving cream on Sid and started a fight.

At first it just involved Sidney and Shey...

Then when Maddi walked through the door Evan wrapped her in a towel and wouldn't let go while Shey got Maddi....

Shey and Maddi

Then my mom and Evan started on each other.....

Shey, Evan and my mom

This is the end result, everyone covered in shaving cream. Evan, Shey, my mom, Maddi and Jayden standing by laughing. Sid escaped some how and was out with the hose cleaning off while everyone else go creamed.

My little cowboy

So Jesse got Jayden this cute cowboy outfit and the other day we got all dressed up to go to the rodeo on the 24th July, we didn't get to see it because when we got there it was all soled out but my baby sure looked stinking cute!

A fun trip to Boondocks

So a few weekends ago Brandie and I took the kids to Boondocks in Salt Lake. She got these discount tickets from her work that gave us unlimited access to everything there for not very much per ticket. We had so much fun and the kids were so mad when we had to leave but we stayed until almost 9 o'clock at night. Here is some of the fun we did.

Jayden and Kayden waiting in line to ride the bumper boats.
Jayden soaked after riding the bumper boats, they had water shooters that you tried to shoot people with. The first time we did it Brandie and me ganged up on her husband Josh and soaked him because he was talking trash that he was going to get us both good, but he was the one who got it! :)

Jayden, Kenz, and Kayden waiting in line to ride the go carts

Jayden, we were in the go cart waiting to go.

Jayden and Kenz playing air hockey.

Jayden on a swing in the kiddie cove.

Jayden with 3D glasses on in the 3D roller coaster screening. It was really cool, it really felt like you were on it because of the 3D and then the seats moved and shook. Way fun!

Kayden and Josh

Jayden not wanting his picture taken.

Kayden, Jayden, and Kenz the miniature golf didn't last very long we only did a couple holes because none of the kids understood it or could hit the ball very well.
