Zion Narrows

Surprises last Sunday!

   We went down and visted my family on sunday and ate dinner with them.  Later in the evening My parents took us up by their church.  There was a field where a bunch of helicopters were stationed for putting out the fire on the mtn.  My mom asked the men that were there if we could go in the field and get a closer look at the Helicopter.  The pilot and some of the firemen showed us around and let the kids sit in the chopper and even wear their stuff!! What a fun Surprise!

 Another Fun Surprise was holding a 5 day old hound dog puppy!!  My parents neighbor has about 8 Hound Dogs that he raised.  He hunts bears and all kinds of big wild life in the mtns.  May LOVES dogs!!

 

After playing outside at Grandma and Papa Redding's there favorite thing to do is take a bath in the jetted tub.  We put in a TON of bubbles and they had too much fun laughing and being crazy!!

Hunter got a new church shirt this week.  Hogan felt left out so he got in on the boy picture!!

Jordanelle FUN!

 My new favorite pic of my cute boys Hogi and Hunter!

We went Wave running with the call family at Jordenelle in the middle of the week!! It was seriously so much fun!!

4th of July Parade in Murray

I made pancakes and zucchini chocolate chip muffins for breakfast to take to the parade.  We went shopping the day before at Old Navy for the kids' outfits with my mom.  We went to the gateway and saw Noriko and John at the splash pad!! So fun!!  The parade was fun and a little crazy with the zombies and the mean lady that wouldn't scoot over 2 feet to let all of us sit together.  I made me want to pray for people that are rude and I did sit on a different chair next to the people on the other side of us that were so kind and shared their seat with us.

 May was funny using grandma lyndas binoculars to see the parade coming!

 I really was happy and having fun at the parade!!

 Kaci is one of our favorite cousins!  She came with us to the parade.  Someone gave her this awesome balloon during the parade!

 What a camel in the parade?!?! That was awesome!!

 The car had Hunters name by the window!

 The racecars were reving their engines! Classic pic of hunter covering his ears!

 Awesome the chick-fil-a cow!!

 Later that night we went to Hayley and Joes for a BBQ and Joe put up his slack line again!!

 

Their neighbors let us borrow the buggy for Hogan and Forrest to play on!!

Swim party @ Hortons

 Right now we are living in the same ward that I grew up in in Murray.  The cute old couple Mildred and Ralph Horton expanded their backyard and built a pool and a huge garden play area for all of their grandkids and neighbor kids.  The ward went over on a summer afternoon and played in the pool and had a potluck lunch. Hogan fell asleep and I put him in the Horton's house to sleep while the kids played in the pool.       

 Mayley didn't even wear her lifejacket and swam so awesome!! She had fun playing with the yellow kickboard!

 

 

The kids adore Katrina Draney.  She is so fun with the kids and mayley loves her to death!  She babysits them all of the time and they never want to leave their house!!

I'm grateful for amazing friends that we have been able to be with this summer!
