FUN, FUN, FUN DURING THE SUMMERLi

Lily and Grammy. Grammy always loves to hear Lily sing!

Levi and Zack at the pond by their house. It is always fun to see what birds might be visiting.

My parents and I go on outings every so often.  This beautiful spring day I took them to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. We rented a golf cart and drove slowly around enjoying the beautiful flowers surrounding us.

Dale with his beautiful Mom  on Mother's Day

Cool Lily at her end of the year school program doing a 50's dance

Owen's class did a fun country dance

Thanksgiving Point Fam. Levi really liked his horse

Miles actually rode this time. He even stayed on all by himself

Owen and his ride

I think Lily is getting ready for a bigger horse.

This was quite a site. The peacock was angry with the turkey and stayed this way for a long time.

The Saratoga Days took place on a weekend Kellie and McKay came down so after going to Seven Peaks Water Park we went to see the displays at the park with Jeni and the kids. Kellie and Emme and made a cute bracelet at this one

Emme with her sun burnt cheeks

Lily and Owen working hard on their bracelets

A hot summer afternoon at the Dinosaur Museum with Kim and the boys while Andrew was out of town. This is their favorite part. 

Garrett having fun with Mom

I rode Frontrunner for the 1st time and met Julie at the Centerville Station and we drove up to Logan. Kellie took us to a splash pad that she found. Grandma just loves being with her grandkids.

My twins with Emme. Makayla is asleep in her carseat under the umbrella.

Miles got bored with the water so we played on this soccer goal. 

We continued the water stuff in Kellie's backyard

Julie getting Makayla to smile for us

Makayla and I having a talk

Lily came over one summer afternoon and we had sewing lessons. This is what she made all by herself. Pretty impressive.

Dinner at Firehouse Subs. What cute kids! 

Home Depot does free kids crafts once a month. Jeni and Julie signed their kids up and they made a cool Monster's Inc. Car. (With a little help from Grandpa and parents)

SPRING FAMILY ACTIVITIES

Emme wanted a "Build A Bear" for her birthday so we went to the mall and she  picked out a pink bear, gave the heart a kiss, stuffed the bear, washed the bear and picked out her clothes. We ended up with "Sophia". What a fun date Grandma had with Emme.

One cold spring day Andrew and Kim invited me to the Aquarium  in Sandy.   My favorite is the penguins. James always likes to get his picture taken on the frog

Here is a picture of dedicated parents. 

Cash trying hard to find something in this tank

I sure love my Cash. We had a great time playing at the Aquarium. Thanks for inviting me.

Dr. Seuss day at their school. Lily is the cutest "Cindy Lou Who" and Owen is the cutes Thing One. His neighbor was Thing Two.  I always enjoy visiting them at school during lunch time. Their school is incredible.

Julie and the boys came down to visit one day. She was filling her days before Makayla was born. We met Jeni and the kids at Nemo Park down from my house and had a relaxing afternoon.

2 cute Moms

Miles and his mustache shirt

Lily's asking me to please help this thing go.

Owen and Levi spinning and spinning

Miles and Zack just relaxing

Grandma Hegerhorst came over one night to see our new home with Cindy and Gregg.  Kim and Julie just happened to be visiting so we had to take a picture. Grandma is currently living with Carolyn in Idaho Falls but comes down often to stay with the Coltons so she can see her Utah families.

Babysitting Miles one morning so Jeni and Todd could attend the Temple.  Since it was a nice day we had to go to the park.

One weekend we all went to see the new store Scheels. What an amazing sporting goods store.  Dan is actually sitting on Abraham Lincoln's lap.

Zack and Cash loved all of the animals.

Andrew and Dan took James and Levi on the ferris wheel. Can you believe this is in the middle of the store?

Dan waving at Zack who said he will go on it next time.

The boys did enjoy the kid's bowling alley

Garrett is such a sweet little boy. 

Dale and I were at Andrew and Kim's at some point and I took this cute picture of James. Dale was helping Andrew finish his basement so we were there often.

Kim brought the boys over to play one day so again we had to go play at the park. Garrett loved his swing and did not want to get out.

James is getting to be such a handsome big boy. 

That is our Cash.

Easter Egg Hunt at a park in Eagle Mountain. It was great for the little kids but crazy wild for the older kids. I am not sure if we will go back next year. We might need to bring football pads.

Levi and Zack showing us their haul. The men are all playing golf so they were not with us.

We were so happy Kellie and McKay could come down. When McKay is in school it is hard for them to leave Logan.  Emme is checking out her stuff and Mack is just looking cute

James did not get any eggs because he kept getting knocked down so Cash and the others shared their eggs with him. 

Our sweet Garrett

Krista took Dale and I to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Hale Theater for Mothers and Father's Day. Jeni and Lily were able to join us. We had such a nice time watching an incredible play. Thank you so much Krista for bringing culture into our lives. 

Visiting my Clinton family! They bought a couple of these Wiggle Cars and the boys love them.

Staying up in Logan at Kellie and McKay's home with Jeni and Todd's family during April Conference weekend. The kids wanted to pay the machine at the Logan Mall to take pictures of them. Cheap Grandma said no but I will take your silliest picture. That is a pretty good one of Lily, Owen and Emmery. 

I loved this happy Mile's smile.

Owen playing superman in the backyard

Favorite Aunt Krista and her Emme

Thanks Kellie and McKay for letting us enjoy conference with your family.
