The last couple of weeks have FLOWN by. Can anyone relate? It seems like summer just barely started and HELLO school starts next week..well..seminary starts next week, the rest of us are enjoying an extra week and a half of summer.
In the last couple of weeks, here is what we have been up to.
The Boys love a good video game. Even if the screen is 4" on Cory's iPhone. Who knew a game could be so exciting!?! Yeah me neither..and I still don't understand it.
Here Ben is all dressed up for the pioneer day parade. He kept saying "Ye Haw!"
Mark is R-E-A-D-Y for the Pioneer Parade to start!! With James in the parade to walk with Ben, this left Mark, Luke, myself, and Grandma to gather the candy. Who do you think was the most
excited??....
Yes that would be Luke running into the road to grab those handfuls of "special" taffy.
This is the begining of the parade...and you can also see the end of the parade. I love our small small small town. The parade consisted of several of the primary groups, the local royalty, the city councilmen, and a local running for senate. And thats about it!
Yeah here they come!!!
They almost walked right past us without seeing us. James was gathering up candy on his way. As you can see, there wasn't exactly a huge crowd waiting to pick up the treats. All of the kids were in the parade all ready!
That evening we went to the dinner up at Zion National Park. What a production! We loved it! This picture is proof that Luke was with us, but I believe this was the ONLY time I saw him all evening. Some cute blond (that wasn't me) acquired all of his attention!
We had a lot of fun though. A local band was rockin out to "Follow the Prophet" and all sort of other awesome songs. We loved it!!...
...Even though I was wearing purple and was having a bad hair day.
Ben had a great time! He is in that cute-every-minute-and-he-knows-it-so-he-gets-away-with-everything stage. A super time to be a kid.
Mark is not that far behind.
After dinner we spent the next two hours watching the three younger boys play on the playground. You'd think they never went to a park! I swear I've taken them at least three times to a playground..ok maybe only twice.
Luke celebrated his 15th birthday. Ben is helping his with the finger picture..that way when I scrapbook the birthday I'll know how old he is turning. Let's see..in the scrapbook James recently had his first birthday. So I'll get to scrapbooking this birthday in about 20 years. Well its a good thought anyway.
And everybody loves a cake covered in Rolos. yes?
Luke loves pink ties. I never thought I would be able to buy my kids pink anything since I have no daughters. Who knew!!! And he loves it so I'm happy. :)
Luke is an amazing young man. I love that I've been able to have 15 awesome years with him. Happy birthday Luke!!
