The last...6 months!!!


Fun at the Cabin!
We are so blessed to have our family cabin. It's so close and we get to go every month in the summer if we can. The kids love it. I have to admit, I've been super worried this summer about the rivers. I've heard so many stories about drownings happening in the mountains. We've been to Bear Lake, Price Canyon, and the cabin. The Rivers have never been higher. And it's mesmerizing. As soon as the kids see that, they are drawn to it. So the Cabin was not as relaxing as I would have wished. I was on edge the whole time unless it was nap time and bridger was sleeping. We did have some good times though. Here's some fun pics!
Every night at the cabin after dinner time, we go for a ride looking for dear! We let the kids sit on the back of the truck on the back roads while were going slow and we saw a huge head of elk and about 11 dear! We've seen a Moose several times! It's one of our favorite memories!
We got Clayton, Trevor, Riley, Cassidy and Sydney! They were all riding in the back while on a drive! That's the benefit of the mountains, not police officers to get mad at us! They also were such a huge help in watching Bridger!

Hanna and Cassidy! She was such a sweetie with Hanna and Bridger. They love her! Sorry about my lense. Bridger got ahold of my camera.
While we played cards downstairs, the kids had a movie night upstairs! They watched Indiana Jones 4~! The boys were obsessed with the similarities between the movie and the Nintendo game! What is it with boys and Nintendo??
Hunter's & Hanna's Soccer!
I feel terrible but I don't have any pictures of Hanna playing soccer. My camera was not working during Hanna's final game. I'm going to try to get some from my sister.
Hunter had fun playing soccer this year. He struggled at first but on the final game, he made an awesome score. The best part was his two hands flying in the air while he yelled "YES, YES, YES!" It made everyone watching smile! It was his only goal, he was so excited!


Hanna's Gymnastics!
Hanna is quite the little gymnast! She loves her class. She learned how to do cartwheels, great somersaults, flips on the bar and do a routine on the balance beam.




Hanna's & Bubba's daily Routine!
I think a daily activity for Hanna is her dress-ups! I was really lucky last month and found a huge box of dress-ups at a garage sale! She now likes to dress Bubba up as well! He usually gets mad before she can get a whole outfit on him so the hat was all she could get on.



Hanna's Joys School Graduation!
Hanna has enjoyed Joy school. Her favorite part was going to her friends house and playing dress-ups on the last 15 minutes of school. They learned a lot about being confident in yourself and learning how to be a happy joyful kid! We've really liked the program!


unter's 1st Grade play! It was the Little Engine That Could! He did great and memorized a whole paragraph! His costume was perfect and simple! Grandma came and watched, what a trooper!
A random picture of Daddy time! Our kids favorite thing while playing at home is getting rides on daddy. Shoulder or Back! Both equally great!
The Ironman!!! My dad did his second Ironman this Spring! He did so great! The Marthon at the end was insane though. They had to complete 13 miles ...then turn around and do it again. How terrible would that be.
I am sorry to say, we all look HORRIBLE in this picture. Ohwell, it was taken at 1a.m. What can you expect?




Jon and I went down to watch my dad all by ourselves! No kids! What a blast!

This is my cute Young Women's group! We got to go see the live recording of a "Good Things Utah" Show! It was so much fun! I feel so lucky to be in that calling, those girls are amazing!
Easter at Grandma Forman's house! Always a great hunt!

The love to have their picture taken! I have to say something about Hanna's hair. She was getting the most beautiful long hair and so was her cousin Jordynn. One night at grandma's house, we were in the family room chatting and we hear the girls in the bathroom chatting. We thought we better check on them because they get into mom's product sometimes. We go in and they're both holding chunks of hair. Hanna had cut off her left side only up to her ear. Jordynn was MUCH worse. She cut all the way to the scalp all over in random spots. It was a sad night. This picture above was the night before they cut it.

I just had to grab my camera when I saw this. This was at one of the hotels we tagged along to with Jon on his business trips! After swimming, he thinks it's the funniest thing to run away from me while I'm holding his clothes... Little stinker.
Just a bunch of random photos at home! Hanna loves her picture being taken. So I had to choose only a few to post of out MANY! Bridger is learning to use the potty but is really slow about it. Oh well, I've decided not to push it!



I heard this funny noise in the other room....SILENCE... that's too weird for Bridger. When I came into the living room, this is what I what I found. Actually he was sitting comfortably on the top ledge. I guess he got bored and tried to climb down by the time I grabbed my camera!
I have to say I truly LOVE where we live. This is our view every morning when we wake up! Once in a while when I can get my butt out of bed, I can see the beautiful sunrise!

Our many Home Depot trips... the kids know how to ride in style!


This is what happens on the way home from long days of go go go. Bridger has his binky while using Hanna's sleeve as a soft blankie to rub on his nose!
My little Mannequin. When Hanna sees a mannequin, she tries to blend right in! The first time I saw her do it at Old Navy, I was wondering what on earth she was doing with plastic arms wrapped around her!!! Cabellas was even funnier so Hunter joined in.







Jon and I were able to get away this spring on a date to go ice skating. We went to the South Jordan skating rink right by the Pie restaurant! It's great because it's free and has cute cozy music playing all the time! This last picture took me by surprise!
Our crazy Daddy! Hanna goes crazy taking pictures on my camera. If you've seen some crazy shots, it's because she's exploring her new hobby. With Jon getting his daily photo, he has to mix it up a bit with new faces!!!



Okay I just had to take this picture of our little Bridger. This is his favorite place to sit as I cook because he knows I will give him the beater! He gets so messy I just have to capture it! He didn't like the bath in the sink too much. Apparently he thinks he's too old for this!

Here's a little video of my kids favorite thing to do at home!
