Salem Ponds (Yes, I am finally posting it!)

Back in July we went to Salem ponds with our good friend's. The boys put a life jacket on a bike and used a bike ramp Kovi made and jumped thier bikes into the pond. It was loads of fun to watch.

The pics above and below are of Ryan.

Above and Below are pics of Kovi.

The above and below are pics of KC. I swear he has no fear!!

Thank you to Jodi for taking these two Pics. My beauty- Caroline. And the picture that some of you have been asking me for (for some odd reason) My prego belly.

The kids had a ball swimming in the lake. Below is a picture of Alyssa, Bridger's girlfriend. Even though they barley look at each other, they both claim each other as boy/girlfriend. So cute.

Some more cute pics of the kiddies.Kaitlyn's favorite part of the trip was taking care of Kovi and Jodi's tiny dog. He is so adorable!

Playing in American Fork Canyon

Ryan came home from work one day with Fishing Fever. He had stopped by KFC and got some chicken for dinner and we went up to the new campgrounds in American Fork Canyon and spent a few hours playing.

Ryan is always his happiest when he is next to a river with a fishing pole in his hand. This is definatly his most favorite past time.
Man, I love these boys.
Definatly Daddy's girls!!
Ryan helped all the kids across the river, so they could watch him fish. Ryan's happiness when we are in the mountains is definatly contagious!!!

Brag Session!!

Kaitlyn, Bridger, and even Caroline have become the best little helpers. Most mornings we get up and get dressed and then go from room to room helping each other get the house clean. They do it so well and they don't even complain. I know it is an answer to my prayers, I don't know how I would be able to make it through this pregnancy, let alone have number 4 without thier help. They trully are great kids. I love you guys so much.

More Canyon Fun!!

Cortney and her two kids, Ty and Tanzynn, came up the canyon with us for a day. We are so glad we have them for our friends. They are so much fun to be around.

The beginnings of a water fight!!
Kaitlyn- Soppin' Wet. But still so happy!!
Bridger was the only one that was not wet. He was to busy fishing to get involved in the water fight. Who do you think he takes after?
Caroline, filling up her bottle one capful at a time. She didn't end up getting to wet either. This process took up way to much of her time.

Caroline and Cortney. Cortney is one of my very best friends. She is so great and teaches me a lot about being patient with my little ones and taking time for the things that matter most. I don't know what I would do without her. Caroline is putting daisies in a tiny zip lock baggie. When she got it all full she threw it in the river. I got after her, and she just smiled and said, " I am sending somebody my flowers, Mom." How can you get mad at that?
Ty loved to fish too! I think we need to invest in about a dozen of those little poles. They are such a great toy to have around.
Tanzyn found a new friend. The dog belongs to the neighbor, his name was Cider. He hung out with Tanzyn for about an hour fetching sticks and even rocks.

I had to post this pic, because it shows off Bridger's new hair cut. Ryan talked Bridger into getting a fohawk for the summer. I wasn't too excited about it, but it ended up looking so cute on him it has started to grow on me. The funny thing is, Ryan told Bridger if he would do it, Ryan would get one too! So yes, my 30 year old husband has a fohawk too! I think he is going through a mini pre-mid life crisis. If getting a fohawk is all he does though, I guess I can't complain. I have been trying to get these two boys to pose for a picture together. When I get one I will have to post it.
Ryan, Grandpa, and Caroline relaxing by the river.

Kaitlyn and her new cousin, Shaylee.

Kaitlyn loves Shaylee. We have a hard time letting her go home with Machelle and Kevin when they come to visit. We would like to steal her, at least until our little one comes.

Kaitlyn's new Hair Cut.

Kaitlyn finally got her wish. She has been wanting to cute her hair like this for over a year. Now that ballet is over and we don't have to put it up in buns anymore we decided that is was time.
It looks so cute.

Boating with the Anderson's

Our friends, Adam & Amy, invited us to go boating with them on the 5th of July. It was a blast!!


Adam on the tube with the kids. They had a lot of fun as long as the boat went really slow. Towards the end of the day, they went again, but the front was heavy and as the boat started to go the tube went under and the kids went overboard. After that we had a hard time getting them to go again, but they sure had fun while it lasted.

Adam and Ryan. Amy tried to knock them off the tube. It was funny, they were holding on so tight all you could see were their legs flapping in the wind.
Ryan tring a little wakeboard action.
This is Adam. He can do flips and all sorts of funky jumps on the wakeboard. Here are a few pics of his tricks.

Oops, I took this one to late. When I saw it I had to laugh though. Don't be mad at me, Amy. You still look good, even falling.
Bridger enjoying the ride.
This is Amy and Adam's little cutie. Isn't she adorable?
