24th..

This year we went to the cabin for the 24th of July. We had alot of fun and worked our guts out cleaning up trees that had been knocked over. It is so much fun to go up there. As usual the weekend went by to fast and we did'nt want to come home. Mataya had so much fun playing with her cousins that see hardly gets to see. She was sad to leave them.

Mom, Gus, Annie, Dad, Kenyon, and Grandpa watching it rain.

Still raining.

Mountain Beauties!

Patiently waiting for a ride.


They wanted to use the umbrella inside. Not outside..

The 3rd and 5th of July..

This year we had a really fun 4th of July holiday. Taya and I started things off Saturday the 3rd, by heading to New Harmony to meet Kenyon's parents and join in the festivites.

The 3 and 4 year old race was hillarious. None of the kids realized that you run through the tape at the finish line, they all ran under it! You know your in a small town when there is only 5 kids in the race. That is why we like it there so much. Mataya has it in her head that if we lived there she could have a horse. I think Kenyon told her that?

This water slide was a hit! It was warm enough I was tempted to go down it.

Uncle Brent and the Parade Princess. Taya rode in the parade and loved every minute of it. Anything that has to do with horses, and she is in Heaven..

Being silly in the bounce house.

Monday- First thing in the morning we went to the Hurricane parade and sat with our good friends the Dorius's. I got to hold there brand new baby for the whole parade which totally made my day. Then we headed to Cedar City to hang out with my family. We had a yummy lunch that consisted of Fish Tacos, corn salad, watermelon and my new Favorite treat DOUGHNUT SHAKES!! Not to sound like a fatty, but I think that my favorite part about having holidays is the food. lol. Tay decided she was going to run through the sprinklers and cool off. She convinced Grandpa K.G. That he should too. Why is it when your growing up your parents have no problem telling you NO to things, but when it comes to Grandkids, the word No doesn't exsist! lol.. Check out that farmers Tan. haha



Later that night we drove back to H town and went and watched the city fireworks. They always do such a great job in this little town. Kenyon worked most of the weekend and Monday so this was fun watching the fireworks with him.

Summer Fun.

So far this summer has been alot of fun for our family.. Check out the pictures to see what we have been up to...

May- My awesome Mom, who worked so hard, graduated from SUU with her Bachelors Degree.. Go Mom!!

May- This little cutie was invited to be in a performance Called Brodway Magic. It is a big show put on for the Seniors of Hurricane High School to raise money for their Grad Night.. She was a little African girl.. And Yes I made the costume lol.. I don't sew, so it was held together with about 200 saftey pins, and guess what? It worked...hahaha

May- Mataya also performed in her 2nd Ballet recital. She was so funny. This little spitfire LOVES to be on stage.

June- Truckin Mama!! Taya took her first little adventure with daddy in the big truck. She loved every minute of it and loved to honk the air horn..

We took a week in June and headed to Las Vegas for some serious R and R. Kenyon's sisters Paula and Kim and our neice Jessika met us at our hotel and we swam, swam, swam... It was so much fun!




June- Our very best friends Kim and Trevor have been so great to share there awesome boat with us. We have had a few really fun trips to the lake this summer. It is so neat to live just 10 minutes away from 2 beautiful lakes.. Mataya absolutely loves going on the boat and also the tube. She is turning into quite the little Fish/dare devil.. We will be taking a trip in August to Lake Powell with them (adults only) lol. So stay tuned for those pics...

Mataya and Kenyon both experienced there first trip to the nail salon.. Taya loved getting her nails painted (Shrek color) and Kenyon was in total heaven with his fist Pedicure.. Check out Kenyon in the back ground, he looks a little drugged... lol.
