Tucker Birthday
Camping at Downata Hot Springs
Our family loves this place. We try to go every year and camp and swim all day. This year was no exception we went and swam and swam. Tucker got to the point of jumping off the side of the pool and loved the whole thing. There is no fear in the kid. The girls were even brave enough this year to go down the little slide. K'Lee found one of her friends from school there and they were jumping off the side and going down the slide. Their family was camping next to us so that night we enjoyed some gigantic marshmellows and visiting with their family. What a fun family weekend.
Preston Night Rodeo and 24th of July Fireworks
We went to the fireworks and had so much fun with everyone. Tucker loved them. K'Lee thought it was awesome and Addison liked them as long as her ears were covered, she did not like the loud noises. Rodeo weekend was busy with visitors and fun. We went and floated the Bear River I took just K'Lee and she was not so sure about it at first and her and Heather bailed out at the first waterfall. And then proceeded to walk down to us waiting for them. K'Lee was crying and did not want to go with her cool aunt anymore but Heather was not going to let her go with anyone else but her. After a bit K'Lee was o.k with it and had fun after that and wanted to go again but with someone else(sorry Heather). Sidewalk sales and then our friends from Phoenix came up and hung out for the weekend Shannon and his son Riley loved the whole thing the carnival Riley really liked the parade and getting candy, then totally digged the rides, convinced his dad Shannon to go on the ring of fire, here is the picture it is a roller coaster that goes in a loop and tips you upside down three or four times. That ride makes me sick so imagine how Shannon felt after that the fun ran out when it became a downpour of rain and became cold so the carnival ended early for us. I have decided that maybe skipping the parade and going to the carnival before the crowd comes is a better idea. Saturday night was when the fun started The parade and then the rodeo there was Stacy, My mom and dad, Boyd and Cindy, Shannon, Riley, and my cousin Kris, Heather and Zach, and then TJ, Amy, K'Lee, Addison and Tucker so we had a big group and tons of fun, kids did not make the whole thing by barrel racing K'Lee and Tucker were asleep and spread across us and Addison was asleep before the bull riding. We had fun and enjoyed the time spent with family and friends. Can't wait for next year!!
Shopping
This year I took K'Lee and Addison on their own to do a little of School Shopping I wanted them to have their own special day with mom I remember when I was a kid how much I loved going shopping with just my mom and I had all her attention to myself and I could pick wherever I wanted to eat with her, I think that is why my mom has become my best friend and now I want that relationship with my girls and make them know how much I love them and know how amazing they are to me. Addison was so excited to go all morning mom now can we go, When are we leaving she was so excited to get a cool backpack with princess on it for pre-school so we went to Fire house pizza and ate some yummy food and the shopping we went she loved everything and wanted everything because K'Lee would like it. I finally told her that she should pick things she liked not what K'Lee liked she looked at me and said with a look of complete amazment REALLY. I love that kid she did receive a Princess backpack and some cute clothes for preschool. K'Lee was just as excited and wanted Big J's and then off we went with aunt Heather she had to come with us because Heather dresses cool. I think Heather has brainwashed that kid. I loved it because I got to sit and have a fashion show of all the cool outfits that Heather and her put together and they have style.
