Boating on Utah Lake

So we were so busy having fun I only had a chance to snap a couple pictures of Kevin.

It was both our first times wake boarding and it was a blast.

I got up on the first try and so did kevin!

Sam was not a big fan of his life jacket.

He was either crying, eating,or sleeping practically the whole time.

He was jealous, that he couldn't go out :)

Here he is sleeping in Skye's old bouncer.

Happy husband, uncomfortable son :)

The Patey's are AMAZING for taking us boating, 

it was an awesome day.

Birthday Dinner at Happy Sumo

Kevin surprised me and took me to Happy Sumo the night before my birthday. It is pretty hard for us to justify going to nice dinners when we can use that money for toys! 

Kevin works night shifts so it is hard to get out to dinner when our schedules are the exact opposite, but this weekend kevin didn't have work so we were able to play the whole weekend!

Sam is such a great sport, he hardly ever complains so it is very easy to take him out. 

And yes, I know this wont last very much longer.

 (thanks to all the input from my friends with older kids, haha!)

 Its hard to get a smile out of this guy when the cameras are flashin...

It was a great night and the food was delicious! 

I love birthdays!

:)

Elk Ridge Parade

Every year our city puts on a parade to celebrate summer.

They invite families to "deck out" their 4 wheelers, "pimp" their tractors, decorate their cars. 

(you get the idea)

My good friend Lyssa and her daughter decided to come with us and we loved watching all the wonderful ideas the families had.

Exhibit A...

 (Precious!)

                        Lyssa and Skye                                                                       Sam and I

Next year we will try to make our own float!

But, it has to be original, any ideas?!

:)

Family walk to the Park

After all the fourth of july activities during the day, we decided to go to the park.

The beautiful city of Livermore, California has one fatal flaw... there was no firework show. 

On top of that, any small fireworks (including sparklers) were OUTLAWED!

So instead of mourning the loss of pyrotechnic bliss, 

we made due with the beautiful park down the street!

4th of July Pool Fun

 Sam loved the water, it was the first time he played and smiled in the pool.

 Usually he has a black stare and no matter what you do he wont smile. 

 FINALLY some pictures of the 3 of us 

:)

 He passed out as soon as he got in Grandma's arms.

We definitely need to get more sun, time to hit some rays before Laguna at the end of the month!

To Grandma and Grandpa's House we go!

We decided to go to california over the holiday weekend and see both of our families. 

These pictures are from our visit to Kevin's parents house.

Sam has been so bright eyed lately...

Kevin's parents have a pretty fountain in their backyard and Sam would not stop staring at it.

 They have a hammock in their backyard and Sam took a nap under close supervision!

 still cant get his eyes off the fountain...

 SAMS FIRST TRIP TO COLDSTONE

 Naughty grandma ...

HAha! Okay, she was the last to do so and did this only after immense pressure from the peanut gallery.

 I was lucky to get one of my handsome husband and my ice cream crazed baby!
