Summer - Part 1

I am already feeling like the summer has gone way too fast and I am not looking forward to school starting again - I love having my kids home all day! We have been VERY busy this summer and have enjoyed a lot of different activities.

ST. GEORGE TRIP - The beginning of June the kids and I spent a week in St. George with my parents. We had lots of fun playing with cousins, doing a cousins "book club" and going to Tarzan at Tuacahn. It was so much fun!!


BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS - Isabelle had quite the birthday celebration - it lasted for several days! She definitely got treated like a princess! We spent an afternoon at the splashpad with neighborhood friends eating pizza, fruit and cookies. She opened lots of fun presents and had fun playing with all the kids!
Can't you tell she LOVES her new princess outfit?! Thanks Naomi!!


We took her for family night to Chuck e Cheese's for the first time. The last time we went was for Ty's 3rd birthday when I was pregnant with Isabelle. She loved riding all the rides and didn't care too much for the games. We ate pizza and enjoyed our time together!

On her birthday Ty had a baseball game so after we had Grandma & Grandpa Taylor over for cake and ice cream and to open her presents. She loved her pink cake - I wasn't too creative this year but it did turn out to be a pretty tasty strawberry cake! We gave her a new play kitchen, a leapster game and Tinkerbell movie. She got a princess purse and accesories and moodsand from Grandma and Grandpa Taylor and a pink scooter and clothes from Grandma and Grandpa Varney. She LOVED all the fun presents! She was so excited that before we finished singing "Happy Birthday" to her she had already blown out her candles!


FATHER'S DAY - I feel bad I didn't do a post dedicated to Chad and our dads. But I am grateful for them and all they do! We enjoyed helping Chad feel like "king for the day" - complete with a crown the kids made, whatever food he wanted and a massage (oops did we forget to do that?!). We played pin the tie on dad game for FHE and enjoyed learning about all the great fathers we have in our lives!! The kids loved making him a crown and Chad was a good sport about wearing it for the majority of the day!

CHERRY HILL - My family has gone to Cherry Hill for many years and this year we headed up again. We enjoyed camping in the trailers, celebrating Isabelle's birthday with a pinata and banana splits (yes, again!), spending all day at the waterpark and minature golfing! It was a jam packed 2 1/2 days but lots of fun!


Can you tell we were busy...
and tired!!

One GrEaT Dad


It is great to be able to celebrate fathers and to express gratitude for the many things they do in our lives!

This is what Ty had to say:
I love Daddy because...
-he works for us
-he tells jokes to us
-he loves me
-he's nice to everyone in his family
-he plays sports with me
-he goes on dates with me

When I asked Isabelle if she loved when Daddy plays with her she gave a big smile - so I guess that says it all!

We thank Chad for being dedicated to his many responsibilities especially that of a Father! WE LOVE YOU!

Happy Father's Day

A tribute to 2 GREAT fathers-

DAD #1
My dad is an amazing handyman. He can fix anything, create anything and does perfect finish work! It seemed that anytime I asked for help or expressed a need for money, etc. he always was very willing. He is an AMAZING grandpa who loves his grandkids more than well I think myself - but I wouldn't have it any other way. How many grandpa's come home from a long day of work, see their grandson playing in a pool and decide to jump right in fully clothed and let his grandson repeatedly pour water over his head? Don't know many so I guess we'll keep him! :)

DAD #2
Chad's dad is very knowledgable. He has a great memory which was passed on to Chad and Ty (and hopefully Isabelle too!). He is self-disciplined, hard-working and dedicated. He loves giving grandkids rides on the lawnmower and taking them on walks to see all the beauties of nature. He's quiet but yet very present! You know you are loved by him! He is a very health conscious person but he does have a "sweet" weakness - give him chocolate (dark is his fav) and he'll love you forever! He is a very respectful man and luckily that wonderful trait was passed along to his son!


Wishing you both a VERY HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
