More Lagoon and 24th of July

This week Cohen starting riding his bike. I was a little hesitant thinking it would take a week or two for him to get the hang of it. Nope one day he tried it a couple of times and then the next day Cohen was a pro at it! He is such a good biker! Everything he tries he does great at it! I couldn't be more proud. I love this little guy, he cracks me up! I also love these daddy son moments! How cute are my boys!?
Kenzley is wanting to walk so much. Ever since she starting crawling she is always pulling herself up everywhere. Every time we put her down in her crib she is immediately up on her knees pulling herself up at the crib. It is so cute and I love when I come into her bedroom to get her and you see this little face just barely poking over the crib with her cute little hands. I love it. I can't get enough of her. So needless to say she is wanting to walk so bad and get up that way. I got the walker out and she does pretty good. Also if you hold her hands Kenzley will totally walk with you. I can't believe how fast she is growing up on me!
On the 23rd of July I always like to go up to Bountifuls parade with my family. It's something I did as a kid and even enjoy doing now with my kids. This year it was super hot and we were dying of the heat. We still had a great time though! Here we are waiting for the parade to start.

Love my kiddos!
After the parade we were so hot that we headed back to my brothers house and we went swimming. Dallas only remembered Cohen's swimsuit so he is the only lucky one that got to cool off. It took a minute for Cohen to like the water. Cohen has a hard time with getting in big pools so now we just have to throw him in kicking and screaming and then 5 seconds later you hear him yelling look at me I'm swimming. Once he is in he loves it!

We also got to see the fireworks from there. It was a relaxing night!
The next day we used our bounce back tickets at Lagoon. I was so excited to go again. I love that place. We decided to do Laguna Beach this time since we didn't go there last time. The kids loved it of course, us as the parents got pretty bored fast. It was packed in there. We did the lazy river and you couldn't even move because there was so many tubes. It was fun though, me Dallas, Cohen and Rylinn all shared a tube. It was crazy how we all could fit on a tube and not sink. I wish I would have gotten pictures in there because it was hilarious! After that we were done with the pool area and went to do more rides. The swimming must have worn Cohen out though he took an hour nap which was great for him because afterwards he was ready for more rides!
Dallas and Marc doing the Rocket. I love Dal's cheesy grin!

They loved the bumper cars. They probably did this ride like 5 times but we enjoyed watching their faces light up when they would crash into eachother.

I love their faces in this picture.


Thanks again Levie family for going to Lagoon with us! As always it was alot of fun! Cohen did not want to leave, he just wanted to ride more rides. When we did leave he walked out saying lets do this again! Hopefully we can do it a couple of times next year too and then Kenzley can come. I sure missed her!
Sundays is always such a fun relaxing day. I especially enjoy watching my kids crawl all over their daddy and spending time with him. I am so lucky that I met this guy. He is the best dad I could ever imagine for my kids! He loves them to pieces and takes every second he can to be with them. We probably don't get as many date nights as I would like because our kids always tag along on our dates but I am usually ok with that. It's too hard to leave these cute faces.

Lagoon and cousins!

Our nieces and nephew came up for a few days to visit with us. This was great timing to keep us and our mind busy! I try to keep Cohen occupied so he doesn't get bored and lets face it I have to keep myself busy to get through the week! Any mom knows how long some weeks can be. Monday we went to the Provo pool with my friend Nicole which is always a fun time. Tuesday we went to the Lindon pool with some good friends, the Levi family, McAllister family, Jaris and Jono. It was a great time at the pool. Cohen finally got out on the ship and went down the slides and he even swam in the lazy river. I was very proud of him. Kenzley did amazing. We were there for a few hours and she didn't even fuss. Kenz loved swimming and splashing and kicking her legs. The boys of course had fun on the flow rider. Wednesday Cohen's cousins came up, Oakley, Dakota and Chloe. We went to Grandma Jaymies house to hang out. Thursday we took the kids to Toy Story 3. Friday we had a pool party in our back yard and got in water fights. That night the boys slept in the trailer and us girls slept in the house. It was a lot of fun having them here. It was fun to see what life would be like with 5 kids. Luckily these three kids are very well behaved and were so easy and fun to have them around. We thoroughly enjoy them. Saturday morning we went to Lagoon and had loads of fun! We went with Grandma Jaymie, the cousins, and the Levi family went. The kids had fun on all the rides and of course the adults did too! Alexis and I rode the Samurai. I cant even remember the last time I have laughed that hard, it was a blast!
Cohen shooting his rockets. The kids played with these rockets for hours! I wish I would have gotten more pictures but it was pretty hectic! We had so much fun.
What a cute bunch of kids! Can't wait till Kenzley can get in there!






Marc, Dallas and even Dallas' mom Jaymie did the sky coaster. On the Sky Coaster they lift you up 150 feet and then drop you and you start to swing! I can't believe Jaymie did it! She is a brave woman! We had such a great time. Thank you Grandma Jaymie and all who went. Hopefully we can go again this weekend with our bounce back tickets because I had way too much fun and need to do this again!

4th of July

Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone had a great holiday and remembered why we are celebrating it! We went up to Provo's temple grounds to watch the fireworks from Stadium of the Fire. We had a good time playing with friends and being together as a family! I love fireworks, so any excuse to go watch them I am there!

Kenzley loved the fireworks she stared at them! She did great hanging out there!

Like father like son. It's funny how much these two are alike. Their personalities are identical.
The next day we invited some neighbors over for dessert and then we went out and did snaps and sparklers. We had a great time and love our neighbors!

Levie and Clarke families.
Heather was a pro and starting the sparklers.
Dallas decided to get in on it and pranced around with his sparklers. What a funny guy I am married to!

All the kids laid down together but it was too hard to get a picture of them all looking at me!
The next morning we went to the parade with the Levies in Provo! I love watching Cohen and Rylinn together they are so cute and are always hugging and holding hands!



After the parade we decided to go boating!
Cohen snacking on all the snacks!
Here is Cohen's new girlfriend Katie He loves her!



Marty sporting his speedo!


One night this is what I found when I went to go to bed. Cohen must have snuck out of bed and into the hallway and he fell asleep! He cracks me up!
The next weekend as soon as Dallas got home from Denver we went straight to the Dunes. Cohen has been begging to take his dirt bike to the sand dunes since he got it. He loved his dirt bike and is a natural at it. He did amazing and I am so proud of him.



A couple days ago we need a relaxing day and decided to go the Lindon pool. They have the surfing thing so the guys hung out there and practiced their surfing skills. However I think they came home with more neck pain than anything. We had alot of fun and Cohen finally became less terrified of the water. We got Cohen to swim in the lazy river and even Kenzley joined in. She would kick her legs and was so happy.



Kenzley has been having a hard time eating food. She always pushes it right back out with her tounge. Finally for two days she was doing so good and then she learned how to spit and do the motor boat with her mouth. Now every time you try and put food in her mouth she spits everywhere! I never had this problem with Cohen he was always so clean but Kenz isn't. She is a messy little thing. I'm sure I will be going out in public with peas and green beans and who knows what else all over me! Hopefully she will start to get it soon! Also this week we have a crawler. Kenzley is now crawling and she is such a happy baby! I love watching her figure things out it's so much fun! I just have to say how grateful I am for my family. I have the most amazing kids and husband. I am so thankful for our freedom and to be able to live in this country. I know sometimes we are disappointed in decisions that the politicians make and such but this really is a great country to live in! I hope people don't take it for granted!
