Thanks to all of our friends and family that came to celebrate our birthday boy! We missed all of you that were out of town.
My last minute attempt at a race car cake with whatever supplies I had on hand. Was planning on just a simple cake for our family dinner, but the birthday boy wanted "a car cake with toys on top", so I did what I could to deliver. He was happy, so that is all that matters!!
I can't believe our little man is already four years old. Colton is such a sweet boy and we love him so much. We are very blessed to have such a fun and loving little boy.
So it has been a year since I posted anything on our blog. I follow lots of other blogs, but have not been motivated to keep mine up to date. Here I go again, I am going to try to get back to it and update it often. Leave some comments and it might keep me motivated to continue posting!!
We spent the holiday weekend up in Payson trying to escape some of the summer heat. Saturday it was 118 degrees in the valley, so 95 degrees didn't seem too bad in the mountains. Especially with shade and some afternoon rain, it was delightful! The cousins had a great time playing together too. We ate most of our meals out on the deck, taking advantage of the beautiful weather.
Brooklyn was trying to keep up with the big kids and made it up this rock by herself (with mom behind, just in case!)! She loved the park and had Kylie as her "helper" everywhere she went.
During the day we went to the park and let the kids jump in the bounce house, go down the big inflatable slide (the favorite!!), and participate in some races.
We were ready for the concert in the park and of course....fireworks!!
Both of the kids enjoyed the fireworks, even though they had to stay up past their bedtime to watch them. We got a few sprinkles on our heads before the show began, but we got lucky that the storm passed us and allowed us to have a great 4th of July in the park.
Here is a slideshow from our summer trip to San Diego. We went to Lego Land, Sea World and of course, the beach! It was such a fun family trip, plus Mike was able to do some work while we were there.
Gotta love the staircase pose! Didn't everyone do that one before school dances or other fun events????
Kathy was lying to me all day, but I still love her!
Matt & Mary brought over Sing Star and it was a huge hit. So much singing going on!!!
Finally on Sunday we had a family birthday party to celebrate Chad's birthday and mine. Always have to share!!! (That is Zachary and baby Alexander in the picture and Kylie in the back)
Thank you to all of my friends and family for making my 30th birthday extra special!!!
Carter and Jackson had fun jumping in together.
(Brady and Colton also had fun jumping in, but they were jumping in to daddy)
