Random Ava pictures

This is Ava's new trick. She climbs up on the table and eats and drinks anything that is up there! I found her up there with my soda!!
Emma was sitting in the boys game chair and Ava climbed up in her lap. It was so cute.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory tour

Sassy watching

Happy kids!

Today we took a tour of The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. The kids got to dip marshmallows in chocolate and while they dried they got to watch the workers make fudge. Then they got to taste the fudge and eat the marshmallows!!!! It was a fun activity. Jack didn't like it to much, but he did like the fudge.

Owen's 7th Birthday!!

Owen turned 7 today!!! We went to Oc Yogurt with a bunch of his friends!!!!
This is Ava with her very own frozen yogurt!
Then at night time we had all of our family come over for cake and ice cream and presents.
I can't believe Owen is 7! Time is flying by and I am so grateful to have this sweet boy in our family. Owen is always positive and such a good boy. Stay tuned for another blog tomorrow because we are taking him to Splash to keep celebrating!!!!

4th of July in Utah

This is on the way there. We were in the middle of no where when all of the sudden it went from 116 degrees to freezing, hailing, lightning hitting both sides of the freeway. I should have taken more pictures, but frankly I was terrified! It was seriously no visibility for awhile. We could pretty much only see the winshield wipers!
We were all happy to make it out of the storm alive. That is Jack's happy face.
This is the next day. Grammy and Papa Casey took us fishing. Jack caught his first fish! In case you are wondering that is a mixture of sucker and oreos on his face.
This is Ethan posing with his fish. It was floating (dead) in the pond. You can't see it in the picture, but it's there.
I asked Owen to smile and he did this awesome pose. He caught alot of fish, but for some reason I didn't get a picture with him and any of them.

We had a great time on our trip. Thank you Grammy and Papa Casey!! I wish I had taken more pictures, but I guess i wasn't in the picture taking mood. It's always fun to go up to Utah and visit with family we only get to see once a year. And after a 10 hour car ride, it's always great to be home!!!!
