Swim Day

We went down to the American Fork Rec Center to go swimming with the Glenn's. The pool there is very kid friendly and it's the perfect temperature!

 Dad going off of the diving board...surprise! There were a few flips in there!

 Walker going off of the diving board for the first time! He did so well and was so happy I didn't catch it the first time and he had to do it over a few times...

 Karli going jumping off of the diving board

 Daniel went off too! What a fish!

 Grandpa and Jess hanging out with the kids.

 Grandma kind of caught it! Dad was throwing Walker up in the air and he did back flips! Awesome!

Walker going down the water slide!

Family Cabin

We were able to go up to the Kunz cabin for a couple of days with all of the family.

 The cousins had a blast on the four wheelers

 Lara and Lyla on a mini-hike

 All the cousins

 Pretty flowers in Karli's hair

 Walker is just the sweetest thing...always making sure everybody is included

 Emily, Grady, and Taylor

 Scott and Walker getting ready to ride

 Aunt Kristine was so good at showing all of the cousins how to feed the horses

Karli and Walker actually got to pet it. It's a little bit of a wild one, never gets ridden or anything, so this was a big deal.

Karli's 8th!

Karli turned 8 this year! We had so much having family and friends over for her party in June.

 Absolutely ecstatic when she opened Monster High stuff...

 Ice cream cake!

Dad got the trick candles....I think it threw all of the kids off. They were not expecting to have the candles blown out several times....

Update 1

Fun at the Hogle Zoo with Grandma Kunz!

Father's Day! Scott cried when we gave him his card, hence the red eyes...

Summers times

Ever since flying kites at the Glenn's Scott has become a little obsessed with kites in general. He found some at Fresh Market for $2.50, so of course, we each have one now.

Karli running to keep it up

Scott has been teaching Walker how to get it up and KEEP it up

They're out there...in the distance

and a shot of Yuki...he's grown at least three times bigger than he was when we got him!

A little late...

The first day Walker saw Yuki. It was about a week after Easter...I'm just a little late posting the pictures!

Time

I am turning 24 next week...

go me!

I'm a little weirded out

I feel older than this,

but somehow it's hard for me to grasp that I'm this age.

Tell me where time went?

Oh yeah, I got in a relationship

that's what made me lose track...

No fabulous plans for my birthday really.

I have been planning this awesome event for my dad in Vegas,

so I'll be working.

It will be the last day of the event,

but I'm still working.

This is not a huge surprise,

as I have worked pretty much every birthday since I was 15 and had a job,

but I would still like to do something fun.

Pretty sure we'll be able to.

Worst part of this trip:

it's our year to have Karli for her actual birthday

and we aren't even going to be in town.

Boo!

But, we get to have the kids UNINTERRUPTED

for TWO WEEKS starting June 19th.

Oh yes, we are SO excited.

Even better: Cars 2 comes out during this period of time.

Yes, we actually get to take the kids to a movie they want to see!

This hardly ever happens as their mom has them most of the time

and she's very good at taking them to movies. (no complaints...really)

Walker is STOKED to see this movie

He's obsessed with Cars...

literally.

We are getting more and more excited about the wedding.

I can't believe it's less than three months away.

I don't really need to do with myself.

I NEED to find SHOES!

I think I want a lavender or lilac shoe...

suggestions?

I need some.

I feel like I have so much to do,

but I know I don't have anything else to really do but find shoes.

Yeah, annoying.

Talk about anxiety.

I'm going through the list in my head

and can't really come up with anything else I have to do for the wedding,

but I feel like I'm missing something.

ARGH!

I HATE feeling like I'm forgetting something.

It's lame!

What else?

Not a whole lot

I'm totally going to freak out any second.

For no reason whatsoever

It's probably just time crunching because of next weeks event

Yeah...I'll blame my problems on THAT this week...

Sounds good to me

Kite flyin' fun!

The kids LOVE going down to Grandma Karen and Grandpa Eric's house...
Why?
1. They always have somebody to play with
2. There is so much more to do
3. They get away with much more...such as picking watermelon out of the bowl
4. They get pretty much anything they want if they ask Grandma Karen
5. We get to fly kites because of the wonderful wind that tends to pick up by their house

Yes, they LOVE it!
