A visit to the Taylor Science Museum at the Y!

So, we visited the science museum at daddy's school and a lot were under construction. What Erin enjoyed most was all the fascinating rocks she saw. She wrote down the names of the rocks she liked and came home to look it up! I might have a little geologist! We parked pretty far from the museum and the walk exhausted the kids, so we came home and made giant sugar cookies! It was yummy!


Topaz Mountain and the 4th of July

The Blair's took us to this place in the middle of no where, away from civilization to look for rare crystals that were formed by lava! We didnt' find anything. The kids just loved picking at the rocks and throwing them.



The 4th of July was fun and relaxing. We watched fireworks from the top of the soccer field, across from the MTC. It was nice because Carrie Underwood performed at the stadium and we heard her singing. We enjoyed it and the kids loved sitting on a picnic blanket and snacking! Why is my daughter wearing a beanie on a hot summer day...IDK!



Eli made a mean spaghetti dinner for us! Thanks E-Ca for making the apron for him. He's also wearing a matching underwear!

At the duck park and splashing in the pool in the hot summer!

Our friends Jordann and Zach bought a pool so that the kids could cool down during the hot, hot summer day of Provo! The kids had so much fun splashing in it! Thanks Keller, for sharing with us! We love and miss you guys!




Feeding the ducks was one of our favorite summer activities! Eli loved the tortoise that also lived in that pond. It was right next to daddy's school!



The Discovery Museum at Gateway!

We, along with the Blair's took E-Pa and Jakey to the Discovery Museum at Gateway. Jakey loved it so much that he didn't want to leave any of the stations we were playing at. The boys could have played at the water station all day!



E-Pa having fun with Jakey at the water station. Isn't she a hot mama?

Eli loves throwing balls into the running water!

Jakey and Evelyn! Jakey tipped a bin upside down so he could climb on it to reach for the balls!


Look how big this thing is compared to Eli! It's a cross breed between a Lion and a Tiger!

Summer in Provo with E-Pa & Jakey!


At the Bean Museum at the Y.


Don't ask me what E-Pa and Erin were trying to do here!

We kind of just invited ourselves to sit in this reptile presentation. They kids got to pet this really big lizard.


Erin picked some beautiful bright tulips for me on mother's day from our front yard!

Look, I can swing like E-Ca!!

E-Ca, here is the video I was comparing to the pic Pa took of you swinging on the bar! Listen closely and you can hear him say, "Wheee!" He was a 1 year 7 months!
