4th of July and Yellowstone!

We had a great, HOT 4th of July!  The night before the 4th we went to Despicable Me 2 and then went and got fireworks.  Logan didn't really like the movie and Kenzi for some reason was very snacky:)   She wanted candy so Brett went and got some way over priced gummy bears.  After those were done, she was ready for popcorn.  Needless to say Kenz didn't watch much of the movie and Logan kept saying "Despicable Me 2 is dumb!"   The kids had a ton of fun with the fireworks though!

    We went to the parade, then had a little lunch before heading to Grandma and Grandpa Hanson's for a BBQ and other fun stuff.  We stayed there most of the day and then headed home to watch the Idaho Falls Fireworks from our back porch.  They were delayed an hour and didn't start until 11pm, but Logan waited up with us to watch them from our back windows.  It was pretty neat:)

Kenz got super hot during the parade.

The crew minus Dustin and Luke:)

Friday bright and early we headed to Yellowstone.  Just after getting into the park we came to a traffic jam due to some animal off the side of the road.  It was creating a huge mess so Chandler jumped out to see what it was, when he said it was a bear, I jumped out too!  As I was walking toward everyone I noticed two little bear cubs playing and sliding down the trees (can barely see them in the pic below)  Then all of a sudden there she was there mom.  A momma Grizzly right off the side of the road with a crazy amount of people right by her.  Needless to say the Park Rangers came pretty soon and cleared everyone out because of the traffic mess and the danger zone we were all in of a momma bear and her babies! I still got a few cool pictures though:)

Old Faithful!!

Kenz and Logan entertained us while waiting for Old Faithful to start:) 

Had a little picnic lunch and was on to the next place!

Yellowstone Lake is beautiful!

All of us at the beautiful Canyon!

We then headed to Jackson.  We saw a few more animals and drove through Grand Teton National Park which was beautiful!  We made it home around 10 pm ready to be out of the car!  It was a good day:)

June recap

I guess I am just blogging once a month now.  Things have been crazy around here.  Time is just flying by.  Summer better slow down!

The kids play outside a lot which means they come in super dirty and ready for a bath almost every night! 

They are just silly.

Our grass is coming in great though, which cuts down on the dirt on the kids and in our house:)

 

 Seems like the kids are taking turns as to who comes into our bed early in the morning.  But eventually they are both in there snuggling with us or each other:)

The entire month of June was Tball season!  We were at the Iona Park twice a week for games:)

Logan loved playing tball and loved the treats after each game:)

Kenz was my assistant coach.

The kids got a swimming pool which was perfect because it has been super hot recently.  They love playing in it together!

The kids and I also made a trip to Rigby Lake with our friends Traci, Madison and Lincoln.  It was super warm and a lot of fun:)  

 

 

Had to have a hotdog and pop before heading home:)

We went to a Chukars baseball game with Danielle and Ryan the other night.  It was so fun, but starting raining so we had to leave early:(

Logan has been riding his bike nonstop since learning to ride without his training wheels.

We also made a trip to SLC for Kesslie's Blessing on June 23rd.  We were also able to say goodbye to Kevin, Tiffany and Peyton before they head to Texas.  I was also able to go to Danielle's Bridal Shower given by Devrey and Amy.

It was a fun busy weekend!

In the midst of all this we also celebrated Father's Day!  We sure love Brett!

The happenings..

Baby Kesslie came to visit! Shannon, Tysen and Kirra came too! To say Kenzi was excited was an understatement:)  Kenz LOVES baby Kesslie and loves to help Shannon take care of her.  

It's pretty funny to watch. 

Before they came Kenzi kept putting baby dolls in her bed to go to sleep and then she said baby Kesslie needed to sleep in her bed.  So she was thrilled when Shannon put her in her bed:)

 

We have a lot of dirt to play in!

Logan loves watching the dump trucks and tractors working on the new houses:)

The kids are loving all the area to play outside.  They love the neighbors and love riding bikes and scooters up and down the driveway and around the culta-sac.  The weather is finally nice and we are loving it!

Playdoh is definitely still a favorite.

 

and push pops

 

Logan started T-ball.  It has been pretty fun so far watching and coaching his little team  
The Blue Crew!

 

Last night around 10 pm Brett finished quite the project....our sprinkler system!  He did a great job and we are going to have a HUGE yard to take care of now:/ 

We also did a cute little flower bed around the front of the house.  

 

Lots of material!  

 

 

We are having a fun summer so far even if one of the highlights is getting this sweet cart at Albertson's:)
