St George

 Next on our list of catch up items is a very fun summer trip to St George.  Matt and Jessica took a vacation in July and invited the family to join them.  Scott had to work, but Adam and I joined them with my mom and the Goodman cousins who were in town for a visit.  We stayed in a house of some of Jessica's family and had lots of fun.

We went to the splash pad and Adam loved jumping in the water.

 And just playing and getting wet.

We brought a picnic lunch and Adam had fun digging into the chips.
We enjoyed lots of time in different water activities to cool off and even spent some time at a park before it got too hot.

 The Goodmans only stayed for part of the adventure.  I guess I didn't really get any pictures of them but we sure had fun.  Adam and I stayed a bit longer with Matt and Jessica and family.

One day we went to a trampoline park ( that also had inflatables) and Adam was in heaven

 Here is a video that I took.  I have never tried to put a video on here before, so we will see if this works.

 Adam and I finished the trip off with lunch at a Japanese Steakhouse.  We then left the Nix family to have a bit of their vacation to themselves.  We sure had lots of fun and were very grateful that they shared their fun with us.

Pass of All Passes

 We enjoyed using our pass of all passes last summer that let us into a water park, some fun centers, and lots of different sporting events on specific dates through the year.  One weekend we got to go on Friday and Saturday to two different events, that sure made for a fun weekend.

We got to take cousin Landon with us to go to a Utah Blaze Arena Football game on a Friday night.  Adam had lots of fun bringing his football and riding up with Landon.

We all had fun at the game.

Adam started to get a little antsy so we almost left, but Landon wanted to stay and we sure were glad that we did.

After the game they set up tables on the field and the players came out and signed stuff for everyone.

 It was fun being down on the field

Adam loved throwing his football and running to get it... and we didn't even lose it when he would throw it into crowds of people, everyone thought he was just so cute, which (in my totally unbiased opinion) he is.

 The next day we got to go to the Rocky Mountain Raceway to see some oval track racing.  We got to bring cousins Ryan and Kyle with us this time and we met up with Matt and Jessica and family.  Adam sure had fun with cousins.  We loved watching the races and the boys sure got a kick out of all the cars.

Walk

Adam loves being outside.  He loves taking walks, playing on the playground, running in circles... anything that lets him use his energy.  We sure are missing that right now with it being so cold, but he would still be outside all the time if I let him, even if his hands froze....

On this day in early July the whole family went for a walk and Adam saw a tractor working and so we had to stop and watch, in the shade cause it was really hot... which feels weird now cause I just want to be in the sun...

Independence Day 2012

 I just scrolled through all the pictures I have taken since this day... and wow I have a lot to catch up on.  This is really my family history so I need to get it done... and it will happen, just a little slowly.  So now we get to celebrate the 4th of July in December.

We started the day off with a trip to the store and Adam loved pushing his bear in the cart.

We ate some lunch and in the parking lot was a fire truck and Adam loved checking it out.

At the mall we gave into the special offers at Build a Bear and Adam got to make a special USA bear we call Blue.

 After a little nap we headed up to my parents for a BBQ.

My mom made this fun cookie pie!  Oh how I love fruit in the summer... This is making my mouth water right now.
We then went to the park to catch some fireworks.

We went a bit early to get some seats and it sure was fun to hang out with family.
They had a train running and the kids had such a fun time riding the train... and playing in the extra cars while waiting for it to be our turn.

 We only have 2 lawn chairs but Adam made sure he got one.  With Blue and a muffin he didn't need anything else.  He got a little nervous when the fireworks actually went off but we sure had fun and he talked about them for weeks.

Lehi Roundup

 In June we met up with my parents to head to the Lehi Round-up.  

We watched the parade and then Adam got to go on the pony ride. 

 He loved it and had to go again before we left.

 Once we got back to my parents Adam wanted to workout with Grandpa.  

It is hard to tell in this picture but it is using one of those pull things on the door and Adam was exercising!

Wild Fire Season

This was the picture from our house in June during one of the area wild fires.  It was a crazy summer for fires, with lots of them popping up in the area.  It really made me think about being prepared for an emergency.

Rainbow Cupcakes

 Adam loves to help in the kitchen.  He loves it when I pull out the mixer, I think it's because he hopes I will make dough, he LOVES dough.

 We made rainbow cupcakes so we used floor coloring to color the batter the different colors.  Adam just wanted to eat it.

He did have fun once he got what we were doing.  The cupcakes were pretty fun with lots of different colors

One Cool Dude!

 June 2012
Grandma gave Adam a suit and he was so cute with his new sun glasses.  What a big boy!











We always enjoy meeting up with Dad for lunch while he is working.  This is outside one of our favorite places and Adam has lots of fun on here.
