More fun summer things!

We went with friends to go tour the 24th of July parade floats. SO FUN! And absolutely incredible what people can do! Here's Mol with the ReAl float. 

 All the kids got to show off their muscles with these bar bending boulders!

Rylee was pretty content to be in the stroller. But there were plenty of games to keep all the kiddos busy. We had 15 to keep track of!

 One of my favs...double headed dragon.

 The 3 amigos doing their chant....mid pose.

 I took the scouts on a fun outing out to sea base in grantsville! Who knew there was this gem hiding out in the desert. There were tropical fish and they used to have sharks! We saw 3 scuba divers go diving and got to let little fishies nibble on our toes! It was SO tickly!

 The boys all loved it. Carter was at basketball camp so he missed this one but its not one I'm sure he's like.

 Meanwhile....Here's the GAME TIME camp we worked so hard to get here this summer! There was a pretty good turn out and it was fun seeing it be carried out.

 Coach Gil let Mollie come try it for free so she went for 2 half days and had a ball. No pun intended.

 Since Chad was getting so much over time this summer I figured it was time for a new do...I really like how it turned out!

 One day we got a sudden notice that Chet and Mindy were in town! And that Emma would be performing with BYU's vocal point after spending a week at a summer camp! We hopped in the car, hit the BYU creamery before we went in and got to watch Emma sing!

 She is so super talented and it was really fun to see!

 Chet and Brielle have always had a really fun relationship. They love to tease each other and I think they are really a lot alike!

 We went to dinner at a super yummy burger joint and hung out until the rain chased everyone away. It was a really nice evening! We sure miss Chet and Mindy!

Making the most of summer!

We have definitely  had a full summer already but we kept the fun rolling! We love hitting Desert Peaks pool...when its warm! And its even better with friends!

 And I love that we play so hard even my big kids pass out sometimes.

 Trevor and Carter keep each other entertained at the girls soccer practice.

 Cute girl ready to play!

 One of the best highlights of my summer was cashing in my mothers day gift to see pentatonix! The weather was perfect and I was among great friends!

 And Chad was a sport and came along even though he didnt really want to but I was glad he was there!

 They did NOT dissapoint. They were completely incredible!! I LOVE PTX!

In the heat of summer, in 100 degree weather, Mollie went to her first tournament, the Sparta Cup! They won their first game, but lost the rest. They grew alot and learned alot.

One day we got to go watch Chance and Chase race here in Tooele! It was lots of fun seeing how great they are doing. Especially Chance!

Carter thought he was pretty cool getting to sit on their bikes and be down where the action was with uncle chris. The littles loved playing in the dirt and got plenty dirty!

And G&G Hymas came down for a quick trip too and met us at Maceys for ice cream!  A must for Clyde whenever he visits.

We are having a wonderful summer!! I don't want it to end!

A different 4th

We had a different kind of 4th this year! We did our usual parade with the Eash's which is always fun!

 It's blurry, but Mollie rode the float with her gymnastics group!

 We loved seeing our Farris friends on the TATC float.

 And here's why it was different! We did a booth at the festival at the park afterwards for GameTime Basketball camps, trying to recruit some new people for the tooele camp! I think we were fairly successful. But it was just a fun atmosphere to be in!

 A lady next to us was making a killing rubbing glitter on peoples arms and face painting! I totally need to learn to face paint! But she was so nice and painted my girls up pretty.

 The kids were pretty good. Carter and Mollie ran around the park visiting all the booths and Rylee and Bri just hang out with us eating their parade candy.

 Afterwards we went home to get cooled off and took a little nap. Then off the the Unsworths new house where we always party on the 4th. They have a HUGE pool and my little water bugs had a blast!

 Dinner was wonderful and there was gobs of food. I ate until I was sick.

 the whole party! I look forward to this party every year.

 But mostly to watch Sheila cheer and clap for the fireworks. She's so great!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! I'M SO PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! And just to prove it here are 70 freshly painted patriotic nails to show our patriotism!
