August Already!!

We started August off with Joshua's first birthday. We went to the park by Shan's house and had a picnic. Josh just started walking and he just took off towards the slides most of the time but he did like the cake...he put his foot in it!! It was pretty hot so the boys discovered that the people living next door to the park were watering their lawn and the water came over the wall so off they went to get wet and of course they took the kids along...We had a nice time.


Lagoon

Our time at Lagoon was really fun. The biggest attraction was getting your picture taken in the old west photo shop....so we did...Doug and I did, so did Shan and her family and Kasha's also. It was fun. Doug and Don went head to head and did some drag racing...they both won races. Then a whole bunch of Phillips' decided to do some racing in the cute little cars....We went on a train ride with Eliot, Joshy, Shan and Mike. They had some pretty good shows going on..one was a singing group that did a bunch of fun show songs and I was impressed at how fast they changed their outfits. But the best show was one with acrabats and mimes....I posted a picture of the lady that could bend her body in any shape or form..she was amazing!! The kids had fun hanging out with their cousins so it was a good bonding time. Ok I think this wraps up July unless I think of something else which it could happen. I did hit my head pretty hard at the park!



Will July ever end? No!

Ammon and Ben were able to go run the river with the young mens quorum in our ward. They had a good time up at Flaming Gorge.
We went to Lagoon with Uncle Don and his family and Kasha and Shan's families also came. It was a lot of fun. We went to the Hogle Zoo also. It was fun but the weather was sooooo HOT! Over 100 degrees and we wilted by the time we were done!! But it was fun!!! :)


My Babies! July 10'


Here they are my little grand children. I love these kids!! Aren't they so cute! Yep it took us a whole bunch of tries before we got them all to look up....I love it when a picture comes together!


Ammon and Ben had an opportunity to go to Wyoming be part of the pioneer trek that our stake went on in July. They had to dress like pioneer and they got to walk down some of the paths that the pioneers walked. It was a humbling experience and something they will always remember. Doug and I went there about 5 years ago, Ari came with us then. It was awesome. You just can't imagine what the pioneers sacraficed to come to the west and settle here and be able to worship God without persecution. We ae so blessed to live in this time, we have so many comforts! This is us on our trek. Anita, Marlene, MaryLee and Me the then Quentin, Doug and some other boys.
