St George

Our good friends were heading back from a trip to California and were going to spend a few days in Saint George on their way back to Utah so we got our friends condo and met up with them for a few days. We did not let any of the kids know that the other was going to be there. Our friends arrived a few minutes before us and were inside when we arrived. The kids were shocked to walk in the door and see the Huberts inside. We had such a fun time down there with them. It was blazing hot, 110 hot but we did not let it ruin our fun. We played, shopped, stayed up late watching movies and went swimming. Tommy's parent were also driving through on their way to Oregon so they stopped in for a night. We went out to dinner at Outback and then we all went and saw Transformers 3 the next morning before they took off. One of the nights the sprinklers came on so we let the kids run out in their clothes, they then discovered that the sidewalk chalk was turning into a paint consistency so then they spent quite a while painting their hands and feet and leaving their prints. We also drove into Vegas to the outlet stores and had dinner and did some shopping at H&M and some other stores. We had so so much fun and it was such a nice relaxing getaway.

Orem Summerfest 2011

I love going to the Orem Summerfest, we look forward to it every year. On Friday June 10th we headed over to the carnival. The kids were so excited and it was nice weather this year :) We met up with my brother Kyle's family and my mom. The kids had so much riding all the rides, eating food and looking at the booth's. We stayed until dark and then headed home. The next night we went to the parade, our good friends the Huberts joined us along with my parents and Kyle's family. We stayed for the firework show and I think it gets better and better every year! The city of Orem puts on quite the firework show! We had a great weekend and enjoyed another tradition at the Oremfest.

ZooRassic

We took advantage of the first weekend of summer vacation and took the kids to the zoo. They zoo brought in some dinosaurs this summer and the kids were so excited to get up to the zoo to check them out. They were so cool. Several of them moved and they even had a set that sprayed water at you. The kids LOVED the dinosaurs and since we have been to the zoo several times they were not very interested in the animals this trip. They were more excited about following the map and finding the dinosaurs throughout the zoo grounds. They were so neat and Caleb being into dinosaurs was in heaven. The T-Rex was awesome! It was life size, I could not believe how big it was. Caleb didn't want to get too close to this one. It was funny standing by watching the T-Rex for awhile because most of the kids would start crying or would not get close to it at all. It was a beautiful afternoon and we had a blast. We will definitely be going back before they get rid of the dinos.

Kindergarten Graduation

It seemed just like yesterday that it was Caleb's first day, I can not believe how quickly the year went by. Caleb grew so much over the school year and he is such a smart little guy. I am so proud of him. His last day was June 3rd and he went just long enough to graduate :) The morning started with donuts and cards. He got dressed up and was excited to get to school. Tommy, my mom, Bailey and I were there to see him sing a few songs and get his diploma. They had popsicles afterwards and then he was "free".
