One Adventure at a Time: July 2010

T-Wolves

This year my sister Bekah set up an all girls softball team! We were the T-Wovles. It was so awesome because all of my sister played on the team! We played in the Provo woman's league. Unfortunately for us it's not a very big league, I think there were only seven teams total. We still had lots of fun making up nicknames, wearing cool socks, and making new friends. I was so glad that I was able to play on the team!!

Fourth of July Weekend

Fourth of July was on a Sunday this year. Our church doesn't start until 2:30, so we had plenty of time to play during the day. We took the kids on a picnic up Spanish Fork Canyon. The only swings they had were baby swings, which was great for Harley and Houston, but.................

Not as fun for Jeff and Hunter! Somehow Jeff managed to squeeze into the little baby swing.

Jeff is just adorable!!

So after my husband managed to get into that little swing, I had to give it a try.

Yay I did it!! It was NOT the most comfortable swing I have ever been in!

Houston loves to swing! He could swing all day long. Here I was showing him something new he could do with his swing.

Harley loved loved loved the swings. She is already a little thrill seaker.

After church we headed over to Bekah's house to do some fireworks. Kayla, Kevin, and Mash were there. Steve and Tammy, Cate and Todd, and Tasmin all came to enjoy the festivities.

Bekah had made a bunch of cookies for the party, but their new dog Anna ate ALL of them! (She is tall enough to reach the counter) Kayla brought some watermelon, so everything was fine. Harley loved the watermelon, and ate all of mine!

Houston loved the fireworks!

Everyone had glow stick on. It made it really nice, because it made keeping track of little kids much easier. Especially Houston, he loves to run around, but we could always find him, by his glow stick necklace.

The kids loved the sparklers!

Harley, Houston, and I.

Houston would help Jeff light the fireworks. As soon as he lit it, he would turn around and run back to the sidewalk yelling, "Run, run, run!!" Most of the time you could only see his necklace running toward you.

Jeff loves fire!

Cate, Kayla, and Mash. Mash wasn't really sure what he thought about the fireworks. Lucky his mom was there to enjoy it with him.

We had so much fun doing fireworks, and just being with our family and friends! Happy Forth of July everyone!!

Jeff's and Boston's birthday party!

We celebrated Jeff's and Boston's birthday on Saturday July third. My dad threw some steaks and hot dogs on the grill, and had the pool all set up and ready for the grand kids. Here is my mom with the awesome birthday cake that I made.

The birthday boys.

The food was really good, and the kids had a great time! It was so fun playing with my family and celebrating Jeff and Boston!

Eclipse Party

We got a big group of girls together, and went to see the new Eclipse movie. Here in the picture is Debbie, Kim's mom, Kim, Bekah, Me, Stephanie, Jennifer, Grandma Binks, Chris, Brooke, and Makayla.

We were wild and crazy, and probably scared a few people!

My sister Bekah and I.

We thought it would be a good idea to put Brooke's head where Bella's head is.

Which one to choose? Edward or Jacob.

Day Seven

Day seven we went to Sea World. This was my first time, and the kids first time as well. Houston and Harley were entraced by the dolphins. The dolphins would swim away and Houston would say, "Where did he go?" Then when the dolphin would reappear, Houston would say, "There he is, there he is!"

Everyone waiting for the Shamu show.

It was an awesome show! The kids loved it.

Day Six/ Happy Birthday Jeff!!

Day six was Jeff's Birthday!! As you can see he was excited to be spending his birthday with some goats! Actually we went to the San Diego Zoo.

Me and a Peacock

They had a baby Panda Bear at the zoo, but you had to wait in line to see it. While we were waiting, Debbie and Hunter kept teasing Jeff, and telling him that they would announce to everybody in line that it was his birthday. Debbie almost started singing Happy Birthday once or twice. You can see how happy Jeff was at this idea!!
