Favorites

This week, or the past few weeks, the kids have had some favorites…

The boys really like to play 4 square.

Sterling says “Oh Man” to just about everything, like the rocket landing in the street, or dropping a toy, or time to come for dinner…oh man!

Bridget uses all her hair bows to clip (sew) dresses out of her doll blankets.

Fun times with Fun kids.

April and Garrett Wedding

April and Garrett were married August 17 in the Provo Temple!  It was a beautiful busy day.  The kids did well, although Kimball does not like weddings (a bit long and boring for his taste).

The water and fountains at the temple were a big hit with the kids.  Calvin enjoyed dancing at the reception.  Sterling loved playing on the teeter totter.  He also took great interest in the goldfish that were the table decorations.  Bridget adored holding the bouquet whenever we were in photos.   Logan and Kimball had fun with cousins on the big open field.

Disclaimer:  not the best pics, some were even taken by Bridget…you do what helps make kids happy!

Beat Up

Poor kid…looks like he got in a brawl.  Sterling got a fat lip from falling.  The next morning he woke up with a bug bite on his eye.  He really brought on the drama for lots of attention.

Thanksgiving Point with cousins

We enjoyed a hot sunny day at Thanksgiving point.  In August it is $2 Tuesdays to get in the gardens!  It was a busy place, but we managed to have a lot of fun, and get sunburned!  We were all a bit unprepared for lunch, but managed between everyone’s snacks and Heidi’s bread to make a decent picnic.

Cub Scouts

Kimball earned his bear rank in cub scouts.  Before the meeting started, we marveled at the unbelievable hail storm.  This is early August, the ground is covered in 1-2 inches of dice size hail and super wet!  Pretty exciting times.

It’s a Baby!

Ultrasound today!  We found out we are having one modest little baby.  The ultrasound tech really tried…but to no avail, we will be surprised in 4 months when this little one is born!

Rowbury Reunion Part 2

The Rowbury reunion was 3 fun filled evenings and one full Saturday.  Day 1:  the rodeo.  Day 2:  the adults went to Desert Star Theater to see a comedy called “My Big Fat Utah Wedding.”  Day 3:  humanitarian kits service project and weenie roast at David and Heidi’s home.  This is when I broke the good news that we are expecting!  Day 4:  Boating during the day.  Dinner and rockets in the eve.

A very busy and very FUN weekend!

Rowbury Reunion

End of July we had a Rowbury Family Reunion.  The kids got to experience their first rodeo.  We all had a fun time and we all were tired from staying up so late.  My favorite was Kimball’s comment walking back to the car.  “That wasn’t a waste of time like I thought it was going to be!”  Logan loved learning what the riders were trying to do to win.  Sterling pointed at the horses and then pointed at himself and would say “horse, me.”  The half time entertainment was a motorcycle show called “the wild child”  the kids really thought it was exciting and funny.

Waiting for the tickets was hot and not very fun!

The rodeo was fun!

Birthday times 2

Back in July we had days of birthday parties.  We celebrated Kimball’s 10th birthday early with pizza, doughnuts, and friends at the lake!  Very fun.

We had a family party and mooncrater cake on monday his real birthday…very important to celebrate on the actual day :)

Dart tag!  and watching a movie as a family…got pretty exciting and wild with darts flying during the movie.

Sterling’s 2nd birthday was July 20th!  We had a choo choo cake and present time…what could be more fun than a lawnmower so he can be just like Dad?

Happy birthday boys.  We love you!
