Labor Day Fun!

We had a busy fun day last Monday. We went for a bike ride on the greenbelt with Grandpa and Grandma Thompson that morning. It was a lot of fun. I didn't get a lot of pics because we were busy riding. That afternoon we went to Boondocks with the Ulmer's and a few of Kris' friends. Kris is leaving for college this weekend and so we all wanted to celebrate!! Just kidding! We'll miss having Kris around but wish him the best of luck at school.









Kade had a ton of fun mini golfing. He was actually pretty good. Jeff wasn't so happy to have to stay in the stroller but him and Kenzie kept each other company.






The go-carts were everyone's favorite. Kade convinced the track crew guy to let him drive one of the junior cars! He did awesome! I think he might be destined for NASCAR. He also rode with Grandpa and Grandma.






Kade ruled the bumper boats. His gun worked better than anyone else's and he showed no mercy. You can see him spraying everyone right in the head in the pics if you look close.



Jeff got to ride a few rides and play in the playland. He climbed through the whole thing like a champ. He just took off! That's Jeff!

We also did lazer tag and played video games. It was all so much fun. Thanks mom and dad for the fun day!

Boating and Camping

We went camping and boating with hour friends Megan and Brett last weekend. We went up to Lucky Peak. My kids were soooo good. I was so shocked. They had so much fun in the boat, playing on the beach in the sand and water. Kade met a few friends to play with, as usual. We had foil dinners by the camp fire and then magically both my kids went right to sleep in the tent. We were able to hang out and talk by the fire for awhile until a grumpy guy from next camp told us we were being to loud. It was great! We had a lot of fun camping, skiing and just hanging out. Thanks Megan and Brett!

Kody's Sports Goggles

Kade found Kody's sports glasses at grandma and grandpa's a couple of weeks ago and had to have them. He would not accept no for an answer. Both him and Jeff have been obsessed with them ever since. They will put them on and shoot hoops and just hang out wearing them. It is really silly.

Future Olympians?

A few weeks ago, Jeff out of know where just started doing summersaults. Maybe he got it from watching the Olympics or from watching Kade, we're not sure but it was pretty cute.

Twin Falls Temple

Last weekend we went to the Twin Falls Temple open house and then to the Twin Falls with the Thompson clan. It was a fun day. We enjoyed getting to see the beautiful temple and then had a fun picnic in the park at the falls.

Sprinkler Fun

A few weeks ago we played in the backyard with Jack, Kenzie, Maddie and Max (kind of) in the sprinkler. My kids were the only one that really liked it though. Jeff had a blast! Nobody planned on getting wet so were all in diapers.

What's not quite right here?

I thought this was funny. Can you figure out what is so funny?

Summer Swimmers

Today was Kade's last day of swim lessons. He had a lot of fun! Last year he was terrified to jump off the side and even more terrified to jump off the board. This year it was quite the opposite. He just got right up there first in his class and jumped right in. He is swimming much better than he was last year. His coordination isn't quite there so he'll have to be an advanced beginner I again next year but I think he made great progress. Jeff was quite the crazy man waiting, as you can see from the pics. Maybe next year he'll get to swim.

4th of July!!

We had a fun 4th of July. Our neighborhood does a parade and pancake feed in the morning so we decorated Kade's bike and the wagon for Jeff. Kade was able to ride with the crowd of kids behind the ambulence this year. He thought he was pretty cool. Grandma Ulmer, Grandpa and Grandma Thompson and Steven and Kassie came to cheer them on. After the parade we went to the pool for a bit. Then we had a barbeque with the Thompson's. Lots of good food. That night we went to Storey Park in Meridian. They had jump houses, a climbing wall and live music before the fireworks. Jeff had to stay in the stroller most of the time which he is not liking lately. Poor Jeff. The fireworks were pretty good. We had fun. Jeff didn't quite know if he liked it or night. It kind of scared him.

Trip to Montana

We went to Montana a few weeks ago for my Uncle Greg's wedding. I didn't take any good pictures at the wedding because I was too busy chasing kids around and viisiting. The wedding was on a ranch on the Missouri River. It was really pretty. Kade had so much fun running around and eventually got the job of "can crusher" which he loved. After the wedding we went my grandparents cabin on Sheep Creek. I grew up going there and have many memories there. It is nice to bring my kids there now and make new memories. They both had a lot fun playing in the creek and just hanging out with cousins. We adults had fun swimming, playing cards,eating lots of crap, drinking gallons of pop and just visiting.

Happy 1st Birthday Kenzie Lou!

Kenzie had her first birthday this past weekend. She is getting so big so fast. We had fun celebrating with her. The boys really liked her new baby and doll house. The last picture is of Jeff sleeping. I think it is so cute and this is how I like to see him lately because he is so crazy when he's awake lately!
