Check this out!

This is a unique bike to say the least! The bucket had a seat, thankfully with seat belts! If I didn't have to sell one of my kidneys to get one I might consider it! I haven't really ridden a bike since high school but I should get back in the habit! Im in luck, they are giving them away. Go check their website! Maybe me and all my friends will win one and we can go biking together! I can dream can't I?

Gamping!

ok ok so I know we went camping a month ago and no I did not spell camping wrong... I just typed it how Dallin says it! And he loved it as far as I could tell. For about a week before he kept saying it "gamping" because I had a box full of supplies which included a bag of marshmallows and I told him they were for camping. Along with the "pokey" sticks and chocolate covered cookies! He was excited to sleep in a tent, to have a chair to sit by the fire. Little did he know we would set up our tent on the rockiest campsite and not bring enough warm PJ's because it was freezing that night. Dave came up to the camp site for a couple of hours to sit around the fire and spend time with us. To bad he had to work in the morning or else I would have convinced him to stay over night with us on the lovely hard ground! Next year... air mattress, worth the investment! Both kids did so well during the night, better than I expected. Dallin only woke up once and Sarah Slept right by my side so she slept great. It was pretty cold so I was glad to have them both by my side. We didn't do anything really "adventerous" like go hiking or anything, I figure going out the the wilderness was good enough. I wasn't alone, this was the ward camp out and there was quite a few people there to help me out. The cutest 5 year old girl from our ward held Sarah so much. Too bad she's only five or I'd have a great babysitter on my hands! I had a blast overall! Dallin still "talks" about gamping when he sees our supplies in the garage! We will absolutely go "gamping" again!

My little babysitter!

Here mom have a marshmallow!

"mmmm" smores taste good

First thing in the morning

good morning sleepy head!

Boating and 24th of July left overs.

A few weeks ago we went boating with my grandpa's boat. This is only the 2nd time we've been out this summer. I remember when I was little we used to go every monday night after people got off work. Those were fun times. Now that I'm one of the adults it seems like that is a harder thing to accomplish, going that often. We had a really great time. This was Sarah's first time on the boat (of course I didn't take pics) she was sick last time we went. She loved it as far as I could tell.. she didn't cry that's what I mean!

We played on the shore (very rocky I might add, this is at jordanelle) This was just as much fun as going in the boat. Even though the water is freezing at first it's still fun to play! These are our cousins playing in the water with us. My brother has a wave runner that is finally fixed. I wasn't too sure about it at first but I went for a nice ride around the lake on it. I think I prefer the boat but I'm sure I'll ride again!

Since the then we celebrated the 24th of July, Pioneer Day, Only really a holiday in Utah I might add! Our ward has a breakfast and a children's "parade" we walk around the block with decorated bikes and strollers. The kids had their faces painted, and then we walked and walked like pioneer children. (Yes Dallin has a black eye, the trash can at Mc Donalds attacked him!)

Dave took the night off work so we could light the fireworks that we didn't get to on the 4th. Dallin was a little scared of them at first but after a while he thought they were pretty cool! Sarah like them, I could tell because she would kick her legs in excitement when she saw them. I think she enjoyed the licorice we gave her even more! We went to big fireworks on the 4th at Sugarhouse park and they both liked these too!

Dallin saying "again"! His favorite phrase!

Sparklers aren't my favorite type of firework, plus it was my fault we got the short ones and not the big huge long ones they make now. ( I think those would have been better) But I think you have to have sparklers, I always did! I hope we continue this tradition for a long time!
